The World\'s Largest Forex Trading Challenge

U.S. Dollar moved nicely higher this week against the other major currencies, as the dollar index bounced powerfully higher from 200 SMA, discussed in the past post.

Our special focus is Usd/Cad, which moved for almost 400 pips higher since the past Friday, when unemployment data for U.S. and Canada were released. The pair reached 1.0500 resistance region over the past few sessions, from where a quite powerful reversal has been seen, as dollar was showing an extremely overbought picture across the board. In fact, even Asian stock market rose today, and slowed down the U.S. dollar gains.

It seems that oil also found temporary lows, around 75.50, and is driving the Usd/Cad lower. However, on oil we believe that an upward bounce is only temporary and that new lows will follow in the near-term. The Usd/Cad price action also suggests that the pair is currently trading only in a corrective pull-back, as we can count clear five waves up from 1.0107 region, which should be part of some lager bullish structure. If we get a nice clear three wave pull-back from the recent highs, then this should be a long opportunity. Personally, I would pay attention on 1.0250; blue wave (iv) zone.

Equity market was higher this week with S&P 500 up around 3.55%, and finished the week above resistance line connected from May 11th, 2010. At the same time the prices moved and closed above the 50 day SMA, for the first time since early May when S&P was falling from its highs. Technically the stocks market is now headed higher, towards the 1140 region, as we also pointed out in one of our past newsletters. In fact, markets now have a reason to move higher as the European Street tests results were positive, and only 7 of 91 banks failed the test, less than analysts expected. But the next question is how high can the market go and how investors see the European Stress tests results. Was the stress test too easy, and markets may react negatively?! Well, I am not fundamental analyst, so all I can say that time will tell if banks have enough of capital or not. Anyway, let’s see what the Elliott Waves are telling us.

In the last decade, retail forex has become highly popular with the small investors and general public. The major reason for the growing popularity of retail forex is the round the clock possibility of trading in the retail forex market. Retail forex market is open 24/5 meaning from Monday to Friday round the clock except on Saturday and Sunday. This round the clock action means that investors and traders can choose a time for trading that suits them. Something impossible in the stock market. This shift from stocks to forex has been accelerated by the recent stock market crash that took place in 2008.

As a trader, you need to master the two technical indicators that are very simple to use but most effective. These are the trendlines and the moving averages. These two technical indicators can be used with a naked eye by just eyeballing the chart. They work for all markets. While calculating the moving averages, the time period used to calculate the average is very important. The shorter the time period, more fluctuations and whipsaw. What this means is the chances of getting wrong trading signals increase with shorted time periods.

Technical analysis is based purely on the price action. It does not take into account the fundamentals behind the price action. It only follows the swings on the charts. Many traders use technical analysis in making their trading decisions. There is no doubt that technical analysis is a powerful tool but ignoring the fundamentals altogether is not a good thing. As a good trader, you should always keep an eye on the changing fundamentals in the market.
