Posted: 05 May 2011 12:07 AM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
AUD/USD had a sharp drop in value today, finding the 1.07 support area in the process. The pair needed this fall, and this could present itself as a buying opportunity. However, we want to see support hold up at either the 1.07 area, or the 1.05 area as they could be nice launching points for the market to continue higher. 1.02 is the ultimate support, as it represents the last major breakout in this pair.

GBP/CHF Technical Analysis For May 5, 2011

Posted: 04 May 2011 11:31 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The GBP/CHF fell really hard yesterday, making all-time lows. Today was different though. We saw the market form a doji, which could signal support in this area (1.42). While we do not suggest buying this pair, (The trend is clear) we might suggest letting it bounce and then selling it. It looks as if the market is trying to make a last stand before the plunge lower.

GBP/USD Technical Analysis For May 5, 2011

Posted: 04 May 2011 11:31 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The GBP/USD fell today, bounced, and then fell again, only to end up relatively unchanged. The market looks weak still, as the bounce was the direction that was pushed back the furthest, and weakness could still be in the forecast for it. However, we fully expect to see the 1.63 area hold as support, as it was so important in the recent past. Look for buying opportunities in that area if it proves supportive yet again.

The NZD/USD fell today, breaking through support. The pair looks very weak at the moment, and also looks like it wants to test the 0.78 level below as support. The prudent trader will simply wait until we fall at least to that area in order to buy this pair. The pair has been so strong that it will be difficult to short it though.

USD/JPY Technical Analysis For May 5, 2011

Posted: 04 May 2011 11:30 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The USD/JPY fell today, but managed a slight bounce from the 80.50 level, or half way through the massive support area represented by the 80-81 area. The pair needs to prove itself here, or the bulls will simply have to wait for the central banks to step in again, which they are more than likely to do if the pair falls much lower. Selling isn't advised, and buying on any signs of strength could be the key to profits.

The USD/CAD pair rose for the third day in a row, as the commodity markets fell hard yet again today. The Loonie is still favored over the Greenback, and this should only represent a selling opportunity, as soon as resistance is shown.. Look for resistive action at the 0.95 (basically here) and 0.97 areas, as new sellers should enter the market. Buying isn't recommended under any circumstances as the market is so decidedly bearish.

By ForexMansion.com

 
The EUR/GBP fell slightly today, forming a shooting star at the 0.90 mark. This is a strong signal of weakness, but could mainly be forming as the market awaits the ECB rate decision and statement. Because of this, we are not sellers at this point, as we simply must wait to see what the ECB does before playing any market with the EUR in it. Wait until the bank announces, and then see what the market does in reaction.
