The $32.5 Trillion Global Stock Market Rally Posted: 13 May 2011 08:29 PM PDT The Paris-based World Federation of Exchanges, an association of 52 regulated stock market exchanges around the world, recently released data on the world stock market capitalization, which increased to $59.12 trillion in April. That was a 40-month high for world equity values and the highest level since December 2007 when the U.S. recession started.

USD/JPY Technical Analysis For The Week Of May 16, 2011 Posted: 13 May 2011 08:04 PM PDT By ForexMansion.com The USD/JPY had a very quiet week, and is currently hugging the 80-81 support levels. The market produced a nice hammer the week before, showing this area to be important. Of course, we all know that as it is where the central banks blew everyone out of the water and intervened against the USD in favor of the JPY. We feel that a buying opportunity is starting to form – but not quite yet.

USD/CHF Technical Analysis For The Week Of May 16, 2011 Posted: 13 May 2011 08:03 PM PDT By ForexMansion.com The USD/CHF had a very bullish week, and is currently pushing up against the 0.90 area. This area will be the first major hurdle for the bulls, and could prove to be very difficult to overcome. Above that, the 0.94-0.95 area should be massive resistance as well. Because of this, we are waiting to sell weakness at the peak of rallies. This pair isn't to be bought according to the charts.

USD/CAD Technical Analysis For The Week Of May 16, 2011 Posted: 13 May 2011 08:02 PM PDT By ForexMansion.com The USD/CAD rose this week, but fell short of closing above the all-important 0.97 area. This shows that the area is indeed significant, and could be a massive headwind for USD strength in this pair. Compounding this is the fact that there is a downtrend line that we are currently bumping up against. We recommend selling rallies, and will continue to do so until this pair changes trends – and that is a long, long way away from here.

NZD/USD Technical Analysis For The Week Of May 16, 2011 Posted: 13 May 2011 07:58 PM PDT By ForexMansion.com The NZD/USD fell this previous week, but still looks "stuck" between the 0.80 and 0.78 levels. It should be noted that we are in an uptrend overall, so buying is preferred. Presently though – we so no longer-term signals in this pair.

GBP/USD Technical Analysis For The Week Of May 16, 2011 Posted: 13 May 2011 07:51 PM PDT By ForexMansion.com The GBP/USD fell this previous week, but is currently sitting on a large consolidative area that looks to be fairly thick. Because of this, we are still only interested in buying, but the recently action needs to be corrected in order for us to feel confident in our bullishness. The 1.70 area still should be massive resistance, but the charts still look like we are going to try and brake out of the area before it is all said and done.

GBP/JPY Technical Analysis For The Week Of May 16, 2011 Posted: 13 May 2011 07:48 PM PDT By ForexMansion.com The GBP/JPY formed a bearish candle this past week, and it looks like there are thoughts of testing the resolve of the various central banks around the world. The market certainly will find out the answer to that question somewhere below this area if they keep trying to sell. We are looking for bullish set ups, but currently don't see any. Because of this, we won't sell – no matter what.

GBP/CHF Technical Analysis For The Week Of May 16, 2011 Posted: 13 May 2011 07:47 PM PDT By ForexMansion.com The GBP/CHF formed a hammer last week, and barely triggered it this week by breaking higher than the highs of the hammer. Because of this, there is a slight case for bullishness in this pair for the short-term. However, we feel that going long this pair will involve a lot of pain in the meantime as the trend is so bearish. We look for a more consolidative move in the near future.

EUR/USD Technical Analysis For The Week Of May 16, 2011 Posted: 13 May 2011 07:46 PM PDT By ForexMansion.com The EUR/USD has fallen significantly over the last week, and is retesting the downtrend line that was broke a few weeks ago. The trend line goes all the way back to the beginning of the financial crisis, and as it was broke, we all felt that the dollar was going to be in serious trouble. The Greek issue around their debt markets continues to dog the Euro though. Until we see 1.40 broken, we are looking to see if the buying opportunity presents itself in the form … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Balance Transfer Credit Cards

EUR/CHF Technical Analysis For The Week Of May 16, 2011 Posted: 13 May 2011 07:40 PM PDT By ForexMansion.com The EUR/CHF has formed a hammer-like bar on the weekly, and shows that the area below is going to be significant support. The market shouldn't be bought though, as the trend is so decidedly bearish. The new signal for shorting would be a break of the lows. A continuation of the downtrend would be seen if we can see that. For now, we wait to sell rallies.

AUD/USD Technical Analysis For The Week Of May 16, 2011 Posted: 13 May 2011 07:38 PM PDT By ForexMansion.com The AUD/USD fell this week for the second week in a row. It should be noted that a lot of this is simply due to the commodities issues we are seeing in the futures markets. As such, the pair is currently sitting at the 1.05 support area, and could find a bid. We are not selling this pair under any circumstance until we see the 1.02 level broken, and even then would be somewhat cautious. Look to see if 1.05 holds – and if it does, we could see a move … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Balance Transfer Credit Cards

AUD/NZD Technical Analysis For The Week Of May 16, 2011 Posted: 13 May 2011 07:37 PM PDT By ForexMansion.com The AUD/NZD fell this past week as the pair continues to drift sideways, looking for direction. The pair should be thought of as having a somewhat bullish bias as long as we are above the 1.32 line, but currently doesn't seem to have much in the way of momentum. It is because of this that we are currently avoiding new trades in this pair.

USD/JPY Technical Analysis For May 16, 2011 Posted: 13 May 2011 07:28 PM PDT By ForexMansion.com The USD/JPY had a slightly bearish day on Friday, only to print another hammer-like candle at the close. This looks interesting to us as it is sitting right on massive support at the moment. This pair will be monitored by the central banks around the world, and a buy on strength could be possible – if we get it. A close above 81 gets us particularly interested in buying.

This area could be massive resistance, and we will wait to see if it holds. If it does, this could be another sell signal. If it doesn't we will wait to see how the 0.94 to 0.95 area holds, as it seems to be even more resistance as well. We are selling rallies, not buying this currency.

USD/CAD Technical Analysis For May 16, 2011 Posted: 13 May 2011 07:19 PM PDT By ForexMansion.com The USD/CAD has risen again, but stopped at the important 0.97 level. This massive resistance area did push the pair down significantly towards the end of Friday's trading, suggesting that the move may have been a knee-jerk reaction, and not a serious one. The pair is simply a sell until we break above 0.97, and more importantly – parity.

NZD/USD Technical Analysis For May 16, 2011 Posted: 13 May 2011 07:16 PM PDT By ForexMansion.com The NZD/USD fell on Friday, but is still stuck within its consolidative range. This pair continues to be a scalper's playground, as the 0.80 and the 0.78 areas simply will not budge.

This is common, and most technicians will be taking note of this.

The pair still isn't a short as there are several different central banks below. Now it becomes a game of "chicken", and as such – we feel no real need to test the resolve of the central banks that are watching this development. 114 looks to be the bottom of this support area, so we must watch what happens over the next day or two to decided whether or not we … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Balance Transfer Credit Cards

It should be noted that the long-term downtrend line that we broke recently is just under where we are trading, and this could cap any moves down.
