EUR/USD Down - Update Nov 23 2011, 14:14 GMT

Sunday, February 5th, 2012

The EUR/USD continues falling after a 2-day consolidation to start the week. It is now the 78.6% retracement level of 1.3380, reinforced by pivots back late September and early October. Below that we have 1.3145 October low as the next short-term target.

Looking at the daily and weekly chart, we see that we are both trading below the 200SMA, but the RSI in both have not tagged 30, and is still struggling to break below 40. Although the momentum is not there in the daily and weekly chart, it is there in the 4H chart not shown here.

The weekly chart shows lower targets below the 1.3145 low. The 61.8% retracement of the 1.1875 to 1.4939 swing (June2010 – June 2011) is at 1.3045. Below that, we have a swing projection target toward 1.2830, with 1.2874 as the 2011 low.

When to Stop Trading

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

This article written by Brett N. Steenbarger    

Much of the advice given to traders concerns either what to buy or sell or when to buy or sell. This makes sense, as it is doubtful that brokerage houses and advisory services could make much of a living by telling traders not to trade. My experience with professional traders, however, suggests to me that they frequently wrestle with the question of when to stop trading. This question typically emerges in two contexts:

1. The volatility in the market is low - Does it make sense to be in the market? Is there sufficient opportunity?

2. I’m not trading well - Does it make sense for me to continue trading? Do I need to take a break?

In the first installment of this three article series, I will tackle the issue of low volatility; the second in the series will cover challenges related to trader psychology, and the third will suggest ways for traders to benefit from their times away from trading.

EUR/USD News: Trading the German ZEW Economic Sentiment Index

Friday, January 20th, 2012

The German ZEW Economic Sentiment Index is based on a monthly survey of institutional investors and analysts regarding their views on the outlook for the German economy. A reading that is higher than the market forecast is bullish for the Euro.

Here are all the details, and 5 possible outcomes for EUR/USD.

Published on Tuesday at 10:00 GMT.

Indicator Background

The German ZEW Economic Sentiment surveys financial experts for their assessment of the direction of economy in the next six months, based on economic data including inflation, exchange rates and the stock market. This makes the index an important indicator of the medium-term future of the German economy.

The indicator has been on a steady downward trend since February 2011, marking sixteen consecutive months of lower readings. Last month, the indicator hit an alarming -55.2, and there seems to be no end in sight to this gloomy picture. The markets are predicting a further drop for December, albeit very slight, to -55.7.

Sentiments and levels

Europeans leaders seem unable or unwilling to implement badly need measures to resolve the eurozone debt crisis, which, of course, will not simply disappear on its own. The Euro will continue to be affected by the crisis, and recent interest cuts by the ECB makes the Euro less attractive against other currencies.

Technical levels, from top to bottom: 1.3650, 1.3550, 1.3480, 1.3420, 1.3380, 1.3280, 1.3212, 1.3145, and 1.3080.

5 Scenarios

1. Within expectations: -61 to -49: In such a case, the Euro is likely to rise within range, with a small chance of breaking higher.
2. Above expectations: -48.9.9 to -44: An unexpected higher reading can send EUR/USD well above one resistance line.
3. Well above expectations: Above -44: This would indicate more confidence in the German economy. A second resistance line might be broken on such an outcome.
4. Below expectations: -66 to -61.1: A sharper decrease than forecast could push EUR/USD below one support level.
5. Well below expectations: Below -66: This scnenario is unlikely, due to relatively stable economic German indicators. In this scenario, the Euro will drop, and could break two or more support levels.
