EURUSD: Retracement it is…

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Since last December the EURUSD has been falling like a rock, it follow through on January and the first days of February. But we might be on the way of a small retracement (at least to the next LT resistance level):

EURUSD

It broke the resistance of the short term range and it is likely to continue its way up until it reaches at least, the next LT resistance level.

My Plan:

Look for long opportunities if the EURUSD keeps trading above 1.3707. Next LT resistance level is at 1.3846

All short opportunities will be ignored.

Trade Safe

EURUSD: Trading at an Important Level

Monday, February 1st, 2010

If you take a look at the EURUSD daily or 4H chart it will look as if it was already rejected from the LT support level, but it hasn’t… yet:

I think it would be safer to start looking for long opportunities when the EURUSD breaks the 1.3927 for the upside (it’s pretty close though), only then I will be looking for long opportunities.

EURUSD: Long Term Outlook

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

What do you think about EURUSD movements in the last two days? Interesting aren’t they (and better if you were short). I was thinking about how the EURUSD weekly chart would look like, and here are my conclusions:

EURUSD

EURUSD

- It started to range at the long term support level, first it broke the shorter term range for the upside, triggering a bullish market condition, but then it came back to the range.

- Then it (strongly) broke through the important LT support level and it will probably continue in this way until it hits the next LT support level.

Now, remember we are talking about the weekly charts, and it could take the EURUSD a few weeks to get there. What we are sure though is that it is in a very clear bearish market condition in the 1W charts.

EURUSD: Trading at an important level

Monday, January 18th, 2010

The EURUSD its been trading in a medium term range in between 1.4508 and 1.4316. Apparently it is being rejected from the support level at 1.4316:

EURUSD

We need further confirmation though to start looking for opportunities, because right now it is trading near the short term resistance level.

My Plan:

If the EURUSD breaks 1.4387 for the upside I will be looking for long trade opportunities

If the Euro breaks 1.4335 for the downside I’ll be looking for short trade opportunities.

EURUSD: Trading near a long term level, waiting for breakout

Monday, January 11th, 2010

Hope you all had a great and relaxed weekend because I think we could see pretty interesting moves this week.

The EURUSD is trading near a long term support level, 1.4517 and it has created a short term range in between 1.4540 and 1.4488:

EURUSD

EURUSD

We need a further confirmation in order to start looking for a trade opportunity.

My Trading Plan:

If the EURUSD breaks 1.4540 for the upside, I will be looking for long trade opportunities.

If the EURUSD breaks 1.4488 for the downside I’ll be looking for short trade opportunities.

I will do nothing it the Euro keeps trading in between the short term range.

EURUSD: Bearish and looking for short opportunities

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Even though there has been a small retracement in the EURUSD in this session, we are still in a bearish market condition:

EURUSD

EURUSD

Last Friday the Euro broke an important resistance level, so it is likely to continue its way down until it reaches the next long term support level around 1.4517.

Here is my trading plan:

As long as the EURUSD trades below 1.4683 I will be looking for short trade opportunities. My next LT support level is at 1.4517

All long opportunities will be ignored.

EURUSD: See you at 1.5310

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Finally the EURUSD broke the top of the 4H range it traded for about 2 weeks:

EURUSD

EURUSD

It is in a clear bullish market condition, meaning only long opportunities are in play.

Here is my trading plan:

As long as the EURUSD keeps trading above 1.5038 I will be looking for long trade opportunities. The next long term resistance level is around 1.5340

All short opportunities will be ignored.

EURUSD and USDCHF: both trading in a 4H range

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Both the EURUSD and the USDCHF are trading in a 4H range; please take a look at the next charts:

EURUSD & USDCHF

EURUSD & USDCHF

Does it mean that these to currency pairs are not tradable today?

Nope, remember how we define the market condition, how the market reacts to important long term support and resistance levels, for instance, if the USDCHF gets rejected from the LT support level, we’ll be in a bullish market condition and if the EURUSD gets rejected from the resistance level, we´ll all be in a bearish market condition.

So today I’ll be looking for a trade in the direction of the market condition (if I get a good risk-reward ration on my trades).

More ranges…

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Ahhh man, I thought that after the NFP announcement last Friday we were going to see more trading opportunities, but that’s not the case. Last week most pairs ranged, in the first two days of the week we have more ranges, just one opportunity: Short USDCAD (we wrote about this yesterday), but in the others… nothing for no one….

Trade opportunities:

USDCAD – Short

Trading at an important level:

EURUSD
USDCHF
USDJPY
EURGBP
GBPCHF
EURJPY

Not clear market condition:

GBPUSD
GBPJPY
NZDUSD

However, remember we got 6 pairs trading at important levels, as soon as they get out of the short term range, we’ll be trading them. Anyway, remember we are not supposed to trade every day, we are supposed to trade when we really have a good chance to win.

Trade Safe!
