USD/JPY Technical For Analysis May 31, 2011

Posted: 30 May 2011 05:11 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The USD/JPY pair bounced during holiday trading on Monday, albeit slightly. The pair is currently above the all-important 80 level and therefore probably safe from intervention. This is why we like the 80 level so much, as it is where the central banks pushed prices above last time they intervened. We are looking for buying opportunities closer to that level. For the time being, we are simply waiting for our chance.

By ForexMansion.com

 
The USD/CHF barely moved during light trading as the US was closed due to Memorial Day. The pair is currently in a strong bearish downtrend, and there is nothing that shows it is about to change. The large candle on Friday solidified the bearishness of the market as we smashed through all-time lows again. The pair is a sell on the rallies pair, or sell on fresh lows pair. There is no excuse for buying this pair.

The NZD/USD pair fell in light trading as the Americans are all on holiday. However, it should be said that we are currently falling back to retest the breakout at 0.81, and if it holds – good things are in store for the Kiwi dollar. The 0.81 will be vital to start another large bull run in this pair. If it doesn't hold, the 0.7 and 0.75 will have to be overcome in order to get the sellers in control.

GBP/USD Technical For Analysis May 31, 2011

Posted: 30 May 2011 05:07 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The GBP/USD pair fell during light trading as the Americans were celebrating Memorial Day on Monday. However, the daily candle is a hammer, suggesting that there might be some strength hiding in the market at this point. The trend is up – so we are more inclined to buy than sell. A breakout above the 1.65 gets us constructive again.

GBP/JPY Technical For Analysis May 31, 2011

Posted: 30 May 2011 05:06 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The GBP/JPY pair bounced during holiday trading on Monday. This pair is currently building some kind of basing pattern, and could be winding up for a long-term move upwards. The central banks willing to step in below doesn't hurt that proposition either. We like buying this pair on dips, and would also buy if we can get a clean break above the 134-135 resistance zone.

GBP/CHF Technical For Analysis May 31, 2011

Posted: 30 May 2011 05:05 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The GBP/CHF pair managed a slight bounce during holiday trading on Monday. However, this pair is decidedly bearish as we made fresh all-time lows again on Friday. Because of this, we feel that selling rallies is the way to go in this market. After all, it's worked for several years now.

EUR/USD Technical For Analysis May 31, 2011

Posted: 30 May 2011 05:04 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The EUR/USD barely moved during light trading as the US was closed due to Memorial Day. The pair looks rather bullish, but it should be said that there is always going to be headline risk with it, and the pair hasn't managed a new "higher high" yet. Because of this, we urge caution until we break decidedly in one direction or another. In fact, this pair might be one of the most dangerous to trade at the moment.

EUR/JPY Technical For Analysis May 31, 2011

Posted: 30 May 2011 05:03 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The EUR/JPY pair bounced during holiday trading on Monday, albeit slightly. The pair is currently trying to break out of a resistance area in the 117 area, and could do so soon. Of course, the biggest problem with this pair is that it includes the Euro, and that of course includes a lot of headline risk. Because of this, we prefer trading other yen-related pairs for the time being.

EUR/GBP Technical For Analysis May 31, 2011

Posted: 30 May 2011 05:02 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The EUR/GBP barely moved during light trading as the US was closed due to Memorial Day. The pair is currently consolidating with a slightly bearish bias. This could continue as the Euro Zone has so much headline risk associated with it. A break below the 0.86 mark would be an interesting place to short this pair. Buying is going to be difficult until we get new highs – above the 0.90 area.

The EUR/CHF barely moved during light trading as the US was closed due to Memorial Day. The pair looks rather bearish, and there is absolutely nothing that I can see that would make me change my mind. Simply selling on rallies has made some traders very happy. Buying can only bring losses.

AUD/USD Technical For Analysis May 31, 2011

Posted: 30 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The AUD/USD barely moved during light trading as the US was closed due to Memorial Day. The pair is currently in a strong uptrend, and looks like it wants to form a flag of sorts. If we can break higher, and out of the flag – that could give us a target as high as 1.20! Of course, we haven't done so yet, so this is simply speculation. A break lower could also signal a bearish channel is forming. Either way, we want to see a large green candle before putting on … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Balance Transfer Credit Cards


AUD/NZD Technical For Analysis May 31, 2011

Posted: 30 May 2011 04:59 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The AUD/NZD had a decent bullish move on Monday, especially considering it was a holiday in the United States. The pair looks like it wants to bounce, and the trend is up – so it could be significant. However, we recently broke support at the 1.32 area, and it was significant. Because of this, we are waiting to see what 1.32 has in store for this pair before we get involved.

Time To Sell? Roach Turns Bullish On China

Posted: 28 May 2011 06:33 AM PDT

When I was a portfolio manager in the 90′s, my Morgan Stanley salesman used to invite me into New York from Boston for meetings and lunches, which I never attended. I used to quip that I would see him in New York when their (then) strategist Stephen Roach turned bullish. Even then, Roach was the perennial grump and bear, much like David Rosenberg and Albert Edwards are today.

So it was with some surprise that I saw Roach’s bullish commentary on China entitled 10 Reasons Why China is … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Balance Transfer Credit Cards
