  Technical Analysis EUR/USD Similarly to what is happening all across the board, the USD bullishness did not skip this pair as well. It appears that the local EUR/USD bearish momentum might be taking the pair to 1.2600 levels.

  Economical News USD Simulative government policies are being played out in the market as the USD rose to its highest level against the EUR since February of last year. At the same time poor sentiment is also being thrown into the market as the Federal Reserve announced a new $540 billion lending facility for ailing banks to shore up the money market industry. With the newest government program, the Fed continues to send signals to traders that the financial crisis has not subsided. Currently, Euro-Zone recessionary fears are helping to drive the USD's recent gains. The GBP dropped below the $1.6700 level, shedding a whopping 749 points as the Bank of England said the British economy may see its first recession since 1992. The IMF also issued its fall report on the European economy which reaffirmed its recessionary forecast for the British and Euro-Zone economies. It is perceived that the U.S. economy is better positioned to stave off a recession with a relatively low int...

  Technical Analysis EUR/USD The pair crossed the key psychological level of 1.3000 yesterday, for the first time since August 2007, further demonstrating how strong the current downtrend is.

The US Dollar's Impact on Earnings Written by Kathy Lien, Chief Strategist With earning season upon us, everyone from investment banking analysts to longer term investors are scouring data on existing and new product lines for any information on this quarter’s potential sales and profits.Most likely, unless they have inside information, everyone in the market is looking at the same news releases.  However, there is one consideration that rarely pops into the mind of the American investor but can mean the difference between a good quarter and a bad one – the impact of Currency fluctuations on a company’s bottom line.  Too many times, companies that are expected to report good earnings for the quarter, disappoint due to either a currency’s depreciation or appreciation during those three months as good sales are offset by adverse conversion rates.  We have already seen countless examples of this and with many earnings reports still due for release, smart investors m...

By: Kaval Patel We all know there is no such thing as free money (even a lottery win or a donation are not free as they require buying a ticket or some marketing to attract the donor which costs money). So how would one go about trying to get almost free money that lasts? Well one way is to ensure that a good proportion of the money that you earn is designated to going into two things one is savings and the other is investments. Save for a rainy day is a common saying however with everything that is happening in the world saving is not enough we all need to plant seeds that will grow over time and compliment the savings. With investments you can be an armchair investor or an active investor that choice is up to each individual and their risk appetite. There are many ideas for investing unfortunately a lot of them require a lot of money to start with and some need you to practically have a degree on that subject! I have come across one market that is little known by the common individua...

Economical News USD On the basis of the last consecutive three trading days we can strongly confirm that the U.S. economic condition has definitely become less favorable and it is about to face a severe dollar crisis. During those last three days, the dollar dropped several times to new records low versus the 15-nation currency. The EUR touched $1.5150 in early European trading -- up from $1.5120 in New York the previous night and above a record $1.5143 reached earlier Wednesday. The EUR gave up a little ground and was trading at $1.5122, still above Wednesday's close. An additional element which assisted the greenback was the unchanged level of GDP, which was published yesterday. The Gross Domestic Product rose at a 0.6 percent annualized rate, unchanged from the initial estimate last month. Not only the economic growth slowed and does not imply any signals of improvement for the short tem, but also U.S. citizens continue to deal with intense inflation increase which is above the ...

EUR/USD After peaking at the all time high of 1.5140 the pair now shows signs of bearish sentiment on the 4 hour chart.

Buying on dips might be a good choice of action before the weekend. GBP/USD The cable failed to breach through the 1.9950 level, which is a strong resistance and a key Fibonacci level. The bearish cross on the daily chart indicates on an upcoming corrective move that might take the cable below the 1.9750 on the local level. The 4 hour chart is giving mixed signals, which means that Forex traders must wait for a clear bearish signal on the hourly level before making an entry. USD/JPY The pair has made an aggressive bearish move within the flat channel of the daily chart, and is now approaching strong support. The 1 hour chart is showing local consolidation around the 106.20 level, and the bullish cross on the 4 hour chart is i...

The EUR advanced yesterday vs.10 of the 16 most-active currencies in the past 5 days after the ECB policy makers expressed concerns that inflation in the Euro zone may quicken. The ECB officials also indicated that there is no change in their hawkish stance on Interest Rates. Therefore the EUR is likely to strengthen. The EUR also continues to benefit from the faulty condition of the USD. Besides the overwhelming strength and confidence being shown by the currency, the European economic forecast continues to release positive data. Yesterday's German Import Price Index printed at 0.8%, much higher than the forecasted 0.2%, while the British GDP remained stable at 0.6% Analysts predict that the Fed will lower the Interest Rate target by at least another 0.5 percentage point at next month's FOMC meeting.

The U.S. currency traded at the 1.5108 level vs. the EUR at 12:45 p.m. in Tokyo, after earlier touching the 1.5144 level. The greenback retreated after Bernanke said that the Fed will act in a timely manner to support growth and to provide adequate insurance against downside risks.

By: kelly price Many traders think that accepting losses is hard but it's not nearly as hard as accepting big profits. When you are engaged in forex money management your profits need to exceed your losses so you need to maximize them- so why do most traders have a problem, on the one hand we all want big gains - We do but... Most traders have a psychological problem in running profits. The typical forex trader gets a profit and feels pleased. The bigger it gets though, the more tempted he is to take it. Swings in price go back against his position and eats his open equity and this causes emotional problems. The bigger the profit becomes the more tempted the trader is to take it. The trader ends up snatching the profit early, as open equity swings cause him to panic and he banks it and then what happens? The trade continues the way he thought and goes on to pile up $10, 20 30,000 or more and he's not in. Its hard holding a profit in a long term trend and taking sho...

By: John Howard If you decide to try making some quick money, that too fast, forex trading may be the one you should try. This will be an ideal arena for you to enter to try an alternative arrangement for earning some extra income other than your regular job. You can make it your primary job once you master the trading skills.

How to Use Momentum Indicators Like the RSI in Forex Trading By: Andrew Shiveley If you trade the foreign currency market professionally or as a way to earn more money at home, there is a good chance that you have devised a trading system for yourself that creates buy and sell signals. If you do not have a trading system then you should probably consider creating one (or at least keeping a notebook of your trades), but even the best trading systems can sometimes give false signals. While it is possible to create a technical trading system using anything from moving average crosses to candlestick formations that will run entirely on autopilot, it is also good to throw human supervision into the mix since an autopilot trading system may not be able to take into account things like prevailing market sentiment. Remember that it is *people* and not computers that create market movements, and all these people make trading decisions based upon their emotions and where they think the mark...
