EURUSD Et Al Trading

Recommended Posts

EUR/CHF DAILY as of Wednesday, 27 February, 2013

A Daily black body has formed (because prices closed lower than they opened).

For the past 10 Daily candlestick bars as of 26/02/13, there are 3 white candles versus 7 black candles with a net of 4 black candles.

For the past 50 Daily candlestick bars as of 26/02/13, there are 22 white candles versus 24 black candles with a net of 2 black candles.

A Daily long lower shadow has formed. This is typically a bullish signal (particularly when it occurs near a low price level, at a support level, or when the security is oversold).Three Daily black candles has formed during the last three Daily bars. Although these candles were not big enough to create three Daily black crows, the steady downward pattern is bearish.

Euro Dollar / Swiss Franc broke below the downside support level of 1.23, 1 day ago. This is a bearish sign. This previous support level of 1.23 may now provide upside resistance. Prices having only declined 0.06% since the breakout, the validity of the breakout is questionable.

Euro Dollar / Swiss Franc closed below the lower Bollinger Band by 10.1%. This combined with the steep downtrend suggests that the downward trend in prices has a good chance of continuing. However, a short-term pull-back inside the bands is likely. Bollinger Bands are 97.38% wider than normal. The large width of the Bollinger Bands suggest high volatility as compared to Euro Dollar / Swiss Franc's normal range. Therefore, the probability of volatility decreasing and prices entering (or remaining in) a trading range has increased for the near-term. The Bollinger bands have been in this wide range for 33 days. The probability of prices consolidating into a less volatile trading range increases the longer the Bollinger Bands remain in this wide range.

EURUSD might retracment intraday to 1.3104 before declining.

Mid-term: Sell

Intraday: Buy (Target: 13104; Stop loss: 1.2986)

US PPI - Thursday

 

The PPI has is a leading indicator of inflation and it impacts company's profits positively when it rises. It is understood that a rising PPI increases costs to consumers, but the rising PPI benefits stocks and the currency; in this case the S&P 500, Dow Jones and the US dollar.

 

Euro zone Core CPI - Friday

 

This is the Core CPI we are talking about and so food and energy sectors are not included.

Higher CPI means that one Euro buys less goods. The ECB may then decide to raise the interest rates.

 

US Core CPI - Friday

 

The exact same effect of the Euro zone CPI but this time the Fed will decide whether to increase or decrease interest rates based on the outcome.

Mario Draghi: The Impact On The Euro

 

The euro has been on a bumpy ride the last few months, sort of like the Japanese Yen. A lot of the stuff that I am about to discuss here is extremely relevant to forex traders that focus on the major currency pairs like the EUR/USD and the EUR/JPY, even though it will be about one man and his impact on a currency.

 

Euro Minimum Bid Rate Announcement

 

Before we go any further, I want to point out why you should continue reading this article. There is a big event at 12:45PM GMT today (Thursday) and it concerns the Bid Rate decision. This will then be outshone by the European Central Bank (ECB) Press Conference that will take place 45 minutes later. Speculators will be hanging on to every remark that ECB President Mario Draghi makes as history has proved him to be a big mover and shaker of the financial markets. And especially the euro.

 

Past Performance: A Guarantee of Future Results?

 

Fundamental analysts should note that Draghi's comments are of high value and impact the markets greatly like they did in the first week of February 2013. Draghi spoke then at the ECB Press Conference with a warning note about the euro that was soaring at the time. The comments were enough to send the euro tumbling within minutes.

    • Date: 14th February 2025.   Can The NASDAQ Maintain Momentum at Key Resistance Level?     The price of the NASDAQ throughout the week rose more than 3.00% to bring the price back up to the instrument’s resistance level. However, while taking into consideration higher inflation, tariffs and the resistance level, could the index maintain momentum?   US Inflation Rises For a 4th Consecutive Month The US Consumer Price Index, or inflation, rose for a 4th consecutive month taking the rate even further away from the Federal Reserve’s target. Analysts were expecting the US inflation rate to remain unchanged at 2.9%. However, consumer inflation rose to 3.00%, the highest since July 2024, while Producer inflation rose to 3.5%. Higher inflation traditionally triggers lower sentiment towards the stock market as investors' risk appetite falls and they prefer the US Dollar. However, on this occasion bullish volatility rose. For this reason, some traders may be considering if the price is overbought in the short term.   Addressing these statistics, US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged that the Fed has yet to achieve its goal of curbing inflation, adding further hawkish signals regarding the monetary policy. Other members of the FOMC also share this view. Today, Raphael Bostic, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, stated that the Fed is unlikely to implement interest rate cuts in the near future. This is due to ongoing economic uncertainty following the introduction of trade tariffs on imported goods and other policies from the Republican-led White House.   Most of the Federal Open Market Committee emphasizes additional time is needed to fully assess the situation. According to the Chicago Exchange FedWatch Tool, interest rate cuts may not start until September 2025.   What’s Driving The NASDAQ Higher? Earnings data this week has continued to support the NASDAQ. Early this morning Airbnb made public their quarterly earnings report whereby they beat both earnings per share and revenue expectations. The Earnings Per Share read 25% higher than expectations and Revenue was more than 2% higher. As a result, the stock rose more than 14%. Another company this week that made public positive earnings data is Cisco which rose by more than 2% on Thursday. Another positive factor continues to be the positive employment data. Even though the positive employment data can push back interest rate cuts, the stability in the short term continues to serve the interests of higher consumer demand. The US Unemployment Rate fell to 4.00% the lowest in 8 months. Lastly, investors are also increasing their exposure to the index due to sellers not being able to maintain control or momentum. Some economists also increase their confidence in economic growth if Trump can obtain a positive outcome from the Ukraine-Russia negotiations.   However, during Friday’s pre-US session trading, 80% of the most influential stocks are witnessing a decline. The NASDAQ itself is trading more or less unchanged. Therefore, the question again arises as to whether the NASDAQ can maintain momentum above this area.   NASDAQ - News and Technical analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ is largely witnessing mainly bullish indications on the 2-hour chart. However, the main concern for traders is the resistance level at $21,960. On the 5-minute timeframe, the price is mainly experiencing bearish signals as the price moves below the 200-period simple moving average.   The VIX, which is largely used as a risk indicator, is currently trading 0.75% higher which indicates a lower risk appetite. In addition to this, bond yields trade 6 points higher. If both the VIX and Bond yields rise further, further pressure may be witnessed for index traders.   Always trade with strict risk management.
