The USD/JPY fell slightly on Tuesday as the market bounced back and forth between bullishness and bearishness. The cross looks a bit confused at the moment, but the central banks are waiting below. A buy signal closer to 80 would make us more comfortable buying this pair. The short side doesn't interest us at all because of the CBs.

This area is where you would expect to see weakness however the market didn't break back through the 0.97 mark. The trend is certainly down, and continuation wouldn't be that surprising.

NZD/USD Technical Analysis For May 25, 2011

Posted: 24 May 2011 04:13 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The NZD/USD rose on Tuesday, but fell short of breaking out of the 0.80 area. This shows that the consolidation is still in effect, but has a decidedly bullish bias to it. This gets us in a buy only mode, but would rather do so on signs of support near the 0.78 level, and only on a short-term basis. This market is a delight for scalpers at the moment.

GBP/USD Technical Analysis For May 25, 2011

Posted: 24 May 2011 04:13 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The GBP/USD rose on Tuesday, reversing most of the massive fall from Monday's move. The market still looks choppy to the downside. The 1.60 area continues to hold, so if you feel alright with a larger stop loss, you could perhaps feel comfortable getting involved. If not, a sign of support closer to 1.60 would be the safer bet. A break of 1.60 would be catastrophic for this pair.

GBP/JPY Technical Analysis For May 25, 2011

Posted: 24 May 2011 04:12 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The GBP/JPY rose Tuesday, but is simply caught in a tight consolidation range between 130 and 133. Of course, there are central banks below the 130 area, so we only want to buy. In fact, this is a great scalping market, as the range is 300 pips – yet still tight. The consolidation will continue until the markets in general decide how risk adverse or risk positive they want to be. Look for short-term set ups to the upside in the 130 to 133 range.

GBP/CHF Technical Analysis For May 25, 2011

Posted: 24 May 2011 04:11 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The GBP/CHF fell on Tuesday, continuing to tread water at the 1.42 area. This area looks more and more important as the market is clearly signaling that if it breaks below would be a disaster for the pair as it has no real support below it. The market could bounce from here, but in reality it only offers more selling opportunities.

EUR/USD Technical Analysis For May 25, 2011

Posted: 24 May 2011 04:09 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
THE EUR/USD rose on Tuesday, respecting the 1.40 support level as traders felt a little better about risk assets during the session. It should be noted however, that the Greek crisis is still in everyone's mind, and the US stock indices fell in the afternoon suggesting further weakness coming. This pair has moved in lock step with the S&P 500 for weeks. The pair did what it had to stay positive today, but underlying weakness is certainly there. A break of … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Balance Transfer Credit Cards


EUR/JPY Technical Analysis For May 25, 2011

Posted: 24 May 2011 04:05 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The EUR/JPY rose Tuesday, triggering the buy signal that would have been formed by the hammer on Monday. However, the market gave back much of its gains and looks weak in general. The central banks are below, so this could be somewhat supportive – but the EUR is so much trouble right now, there are better currencies to play against the JPY right now.

EUR/GBP Technical Analysis For May 25, 2011

Posted: 24 May 2011 04:04 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
THE EUR/GBP gained on Tuesday only to fall, triggering buy signals after the hammer that was printed on Monday. However, the end of the day saw a shooting star form, and that is never a good sign. The market looks confused, and the fact that it didn't hold the gains from breaking the hammer suggests underlying weakness. A break below Monday's lows gets more sellers involved. Look for choppy trading with a downside bias in the near future.

EUR/CHF Technical Analysis For May 25, 2011

Posted: 24 May 2011 04:03 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
THE EUR/CHF fell Tuesday, retesting the 1.24 support area, which is where the pair finished. By looking at this chart, you can plainly see how important this area is going to be for the future direction of the EUR/CHF market. Even if this pair bounces, it can't be ignored that the trend is down, and we recently saw new all-time lows. Eventually this pair will have to change trends, but there is nothing in technically or fundamentally that suggests it's going … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Balance Transfer Credit Cards


AUD/USD Technical Analysis For May 25, 2011

Posted: 24 May 2011 04:02 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The AUD/USD rose during Tuesday's session, bouncing of off the 1.05 support area. This area has proven to be very supportive, but one cannot help but notice the recent highs in this market have gotten lower. While that doesn't necessarily mean the uptrend is over – it could mean that the pair is ready to pullback to 1.02 – the next major support level. We still however, remain cautiously bullish overall.

AUD/NZD Technical Analysis For May 25, 2011

Posted: 24 May 2011 04:01 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The AUD/NZD fell during Tuesday trading, but did bounce from the all-important 1.32 support level. We figure that this area is going to determine the short-term direction for this pair, and the battle being fought here will give clear direction sooner or later. The pair does look decidedly bearish though. A break of Tuesday's lows would be a major sign of weakness. A bounce should send this pair upwards to find the top of the recent consolidation area, perhaps … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Balance Transfer Credit Cards


USD/CAD Daily Fundamental Analysis For May 25, 2011

Posted: 24 May 2011 08:40 AM PDT

By ForexMansion.com
The USD/CAD pair was little changed on Tuesday, where despite the rise in commodity prices including oil prices, yet persistent fears over the outlook of the European debt crisis continued to weigh down on confidence levels in markets, and accordingly, the USD/CAD pair was not able to gain strong momentum, in addition to ongoing speculations that the Bank of Canada won't raise interest rates due to the recent weakness in economic conditions.
