US Dollar Not In A Mark Down Phase

Posted: 08 Jul 2011 02:43 AM PDT

At the moment the US Dollar down trend has officially stopped, and this is scaring some folk. After all in the last few days we have heard the Chinese have been buying Euro, the EU commissioner try to hush up the rating agencies, and more talk on dummying down US CPI calculation all to keep the euro up and dollar down. Via Wyckoff 2.0 phase analysis the US dollar is no longer in a mark down phase, knowing this should activate portfolio adjustments across all ‘risk on’ assets classes.

USD/JPY rose on Thursday, sending the pair over the 81 mark on the close. The pair still looks very tight, and such doesn't offer much in the way of volatility these days. Until we can break above 82 (preferred), or below 80, we see no real direction in this pair other than a scalper's market.

USD/CHF rose on Thursday, but fell in retreat when it tested the 0.85 mark. This leads us to believe that the consolidation range between 0.83 and 0.85 will remain intact for the short-term. This pair is in a downtrend, so selling is preferred, but scalping in either direction is possible until we break the range.

The USD/CAD pair validated the shooting star at the 0.9650 mark on Thursday, falling down below the 0.96 handle and testing a minor support area. While it did bounce a little in late trading, the truth is that the bigger picture shows the 0.9650 area as support turned resistance. Because of this, we are still bearish of this pair.

GBP/USD fell again on Thursday as traders are starting to shun owning the Pound across all markets. We maintain that the 1.59 mark is crucial if the bulls want any hope of staying in control That area looks more and more likely to be violated, and the NFP announcement today could be that catalyst. We don't buy this pair anymore, rather preferring to sell rallies, and will get aggressively short on a break of the 1.59 level.

GBP/JPY had a slightly bullish day on Thursday, but failed to stay above the 130 mark, a prerequisite for any serious buying in our estimation. The pair looks flat at the moment, and as long as the 130 holds as resistance, we don't like the pair for longs at all. Shorting is possible if that level continues to hold, and we see weakness at the mark as well.

EUR/USD fell hard on Thursday, but managed to form a hammer right above the 1.43 area, a level that has shown it to be minor support and resistance in the past. Because of this, we feel that the next move is probably up but are reluctant to get involved in this pair at the moment as there is simply too much headline risk in it. We prefer to wait until the smoke clears with the various downgrades in Europe that are sure to come in the next few weeks.

The EUR/CHF pair rose on Thursday, bouncing over 100 pips form the 1.20 support area. The move looks fairly impressive, but not so much as to have us buying this pair. In fact, we advocate waiting until higher levels in which to sell it. Perhaps a sign of weakness at 1.23, 12.5, or even 1.28 could be a place to sell again? In the mean time, we sit idly on our hands.

AUD/USD Technical Analysis For July 8, 2011

Posted: 07 Jul 2011 09:20 AM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The AUD/USD pair rose again on Thursday as the bull market continues in the Aussie. The pair looks especially strong, and on a break of Thursday's highs, we would be buyers. However, it should be kept in mind that the Non-Farm Payroll report is coming out later today, and as such – we may wait until we get those numbers released. The pair certainly looks set to test the all-time highs again soon though.

AUD/NZD Technical Analysis For July 8, 2011

Posted: 07 Jul 2011 09:20 AM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The AUD/NZD pair had a volatile day as it rose, and then slammed straight back down to end up basically unchanged. With the recent action, we don't like owning this pair in either direction at the moment. We feel that the pair needs to break above the 1.32 for longs, and below 1.28 for shorts. Until then, we sit idle in this market.

Light Sweet Crude
The CL rose on Thursday, pushing past the $97.50 area, and looks like it is trying to get to $100 in the short-term. We have shown massive bullishness, and it appears that we will continue to go north. We like buying dips, and don't sell at this point.

Brent
If the CL had a good day, the Brent market had an outstanding one. The candle is long, green, and full. This is a great sign that the bullishness is a new phase of buying, and it … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Balance Transfer Credit Cards


Natural Gas Technical Analysis For July 8, 2011

The natural gas markets fell hard on Thursday, but managed a bounce in late trading. Because of this, we have formed a hammer-shaped candle on the daily chart, and right where you would want to see it. The $4 mark has held, and it looks like we may see buying come into the marketplace. The breaking of Thursday's highs would be a buy signal, and a sign that we may reenter the previous consolidation area between $4.20 and $4.40 or so.

Gold Technical Analysis For July 8, 2011

The gold markets rose again on Thursday, but slowed their progress. As a result, we actually saw the market go negative at one point. However, as buyers came back in, it formed a hammer on the daily chart. It looks a lot like the $1,525 level is set to hold at the moment. However, with non-Farm Payroll coming later in the day, we think that the market is on hold until we see what comes of the numbers. We like buying, especially on dips.
