excuse me for replying instead of Bahrain - but since his strategy is to sell the test of the 200day MA for 100 pips - this means that as the 200DMA is at 1.6788 - he will be targeting 1.6688...

Price of oil on the slippery slope
The slide will continue but producers are still sitting pretty, Tim Boreham reports
ONLY five months ago crude oil prices nudged $US80 a barrel amid predictions by informed observers - not apocalyptic ravers - that the commodity would reach the $US100 level.
Since then, oil has tumbled 30 per cent and the contango on futures pricing has disappeared, which means investors aren't punting on a quick recovery.
What has shifted sentiment in such a short time? After all, the global economy still ticks over nicely and the Middle East remains a time bomb - literally and figuratively - ready to explode.

"It's a hard slog convincing investors about the the oil recovery story," Bell Potter research head Peter Quinton says. "Anecdotally, people are waiting on the sidelines for the oil price to bottom, but the trouble is, by then it's too late."

ANZ tips easing in rate rise pressures
Scott Murdoch

PROSPECTS for an interest rate cut by the end of the year are firming, as economists predict the Reserve Bank will shed its strong tightening bias.
ANZ has tipped that the next move in official rates would be down instead of up. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,21139339-643,00.html

Short term view eur/usd pair: The range continues as the pair bounces off the 2880 support and shorts taken are stopped out on the entry point. Now the pair has a resistance to over come around the 2960-70 and 2980-90 area. A buy signal around the 2980-90 area awaits for the pip raiders but with the tight range there is very little movement until the 3040-50 top is removed IMHO. Peace and GT

USD Dollar really finding comfort at the .8500 area.
Doesn't want to move higher on good economic news nor does it want to move lower. Hold that line.
Looks to be a data week and maybe we get a break either way. Our focus is more on Gold. The shiny queen seems to be finding buyers on dips and sellers on rallies. Cetainly many are calling for it trade back towards the figure. Anything can happen. We are postioned for a sustained break above the 650 area and then towards 685 on to 700+. Not a one day even but looking better as each day passes.

Article ion today's Herald highlights the lopsided nature of Australia's economy. While Western Australia and Queensland have ridden the resources wave to near double-digit growth, the nation's biggest state recorded a 0.3 per cent contraction in the September quarter, a minuscule 0.1 per cent expansion in the previous quarter and zero growth in the three months to March.
Analysts also forecast a further contraction over the December quarter which would put NSW technically into a recession.

hi man - just from strategy point of view - if the EURAUD is now on the 200DMA doesn't this mean it is challenging it and will make a test higher?

anyway - there is a trendline from Oct and Dec highs that is going to meet the upmove at around 1.6820/30 -
so from trading point of view isn't it better to try to buy the uptick and then see what happens whenit meets the trednline Res?
this is a Q to anybody who wish to comment this chart setup!

EU's Juncker "Increasingly Worried" About Yen
European finance ministers opened their monthly meeting Monday expressing concern about the weakness of the Japanese yen. "We are increasingly worried" about the yen, said Jean-Claude Juncker, the Luxembourg Prime Minister and chairman of the Eurogroup. The Eurogroup's 13 euro-zone finance ministers were meeting before the Ecofin meeting, which includes all 27 European Union member nations. At both the Eurogroup and Ecofin meetings, ministers will try to come to a common position for the Feb. 9-10 gathering of Group of Seven leading industrial nations' finance ministers and central bankers, Juncker said. German finance minister Peer Steinbrueck said he expected the G7 meeting to discuss currencies. While concerns about the weakening yen are mounting, concerns of a dollar collapse have eased as the greenback has stabilized around $1.30 to the euro. European ministers believe this represents a benign level which leaves their economies competitive. E.U. officials say they fear the cheap yen is making European exports to the world's second-largest economy more pricey. Greater flexibility in all the key Asian currencies has long been on Europe's wish list, they add. "I think the evolution of the yen should reflect fundamentals," said European Union Monetary Affairs Commissioner Joaquin Almunia. Until now, Europe's currency focus has been on China and its cheap yuan. However the Japanese currency actually may be more dangerous because Japan and Europe compete more head-to-head for sales in goods ranging from machine tools to cars. In contrast, China specializes in many consumer products no longer made in Europe.

SOFIA KAPRIKORN --- i often use a cross of the Simple Moving Average. for the EURO/USD, i use the 30 minute time frame -- i make the 10 period simple moving average red.

the 20 period MA white and the 60 period MA blue. once or twice every 24 hours, the red line will cross the white --- this morning that was 4:30 Eastern Standard Time. i wait 20 pips and then enter the trade;

the cross can be up or down, but the 20 point "filter" is necessary in either case.

often prices fail to move the full 20 pips so i do nothing.

finally, this morning the barrier was achieved and the currency moved more than 25 points for my BUY. Easy to follow, especially on a demo account; seems to work well only with EURO/USD.

Sofia Kaprikorn 16:56 GMT, Hi Kaprikorn, it depends on what tools you are having and what tools most of the traders are having. There are some good indicators by their models in this forum through subscription. Most commonly used indicators in the forex charts are Moving average and Bollinger Band (its newest derived similar indicators, like Envelop Trading Band or Parabollic SAR). One of the indicator which is hard to develop the model is psychological trading factor. Dynex Charts has a model there but just as a reference. You may need to train yourself the eyes to capture price figures, like those people working in trading room. They have the pulse of the price movement in their brains and no need to see any chart indicators. GLGT.

The nomination Wednesday of the former North Rhine-Westphalian prime minister, Peer Steinbrück (Social Democratic Party—SPD), to the post of finance minister in Germany’s new grand coalition is a clear signal that future government policy will involve new welfare cuts and a further redistribution of wealth from the needy to the rich. At the start of the week the leadership of the SPD agreed to form a grand coalition with the conservative union parties, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Christian Social Union (CSU).

Jan. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Hedge-fund managers and other large speculators are the most bearish ever on the yen, according to data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Futures wagers on a decline in the yen exceeded those on a gain by a record 164,860 for the week ended Jan. 23, trumping the prior all-time high of 138,146 so-called net shorts a week earlier, CFTC data showed on Jan. 26.

The yen tumbled to the weakest in almost four years against the dollar and a record low versus the euro last week as investors trimmed bets the Bank of Japan will lift borrowing costs next month. A government report Jan. 26 showed consumer prices remained tame.

Good morning guys.

It would seem the dollar has found some support over the weekend. The USD currency pairs we are interested in are:

Long USD-CAD
Long USD-JPY
Long USD-CHF

We bought USD-CHF Friday at around these levels on the break of 1.2520, and we bought USD-JPY this morning on the break of 121.80. USD-CAD would have to break 1.1850 for us to get interested there.

Of course, this is all FWIW. We wish you a profitable day.

Yes it is good to compare notes this is what the FF is all about. As I said before the indicators do show O/B levels but for now no signs of a corrective pullback yet. Long term view on the usd/jpy pair is still bearish until the main resistance is broken completely. There is a double bottom (100-105) to deal with in the future if the bears take over. I hope both of you have a great week as well. Peace and GT

OMIL and NS, thank you both.

NS, yes, that's what I meat, cycles. And right now, although I am not sying that it can't go higher, given the change in my model direction and the very high time parameter, any upmove is difficult to be sustined for the time being.

OMIL, 121.85 was only a static level (around 2003 high) and the high 125 also a static level seen before 135 (the 2002 highs) in case the market goes for a very long term major SHS. But none of those level is dynamic. Anyway, my tech view is neither intraday nor overly long ter.

Good luck to both of you. I am out now.

Among other indicators I have the EUR/USD down to around 1.2845 which is S1 on the weekly pivots and around S2 on the daily pivots.

The level to watch is around 1.2877 from the 4hr 20 day chart and the 1wk 3yr chart..

I see the market bouncing at the moment with an uncertainty of direction with the opening of the UK market. There is a possibility of the EUR/USD settling into a range.

We shall see.

The Bank of Japan's surprise decision gave hedge funds more time to take advantage of their favorite trading strategy: Borrowing in Japan and using the money to invest in assets with higher yields. U.K. two-year government bonds yield 4.77 percentage points more than Japanese securities with a similar maturity, the widest gap since August 2004.

``We've been borrowing yen and buying anything else,'' said Max Tessier, who helps manage about $2 billion in currency assets at CIBC Global Asset Management in Montreal. ``Strategists looking for yen strength may be disappointed.''

Good to see your post Adam hope you are well. Short term to mid term view usd/jpy pair has the indicators in the O/B levels but still bullish at this time. Long term main resistance (121.60-80) is being challenged this month and a closing above that level would be very important for the bulls. Next significant resistance is in the 125.75-85 level. In the meantime this pair is a buy on dips for short and mid term views IMHO. Peace and GT

Today's $/JPY extension on the upside does not change my technical analysis and strategy calling since mid last week for selling rallies. Actually a fair resistance level (122.15) I had calculated has plus/minus held thas far. Only a move past 122.90 (if seen today) would invalidate the strategy.

Buyout groups are forecast to raise $500bn

The global private equity industry is forecast to raise $500bn in 2007, about $70bn more than last year’s record, according to Private Equity Intelligence (Prequin). The group’s forecast underlines private equity’s continuing surge, in terms of both the amount of capital investors are willing to devote to the asset class as well as record deal-making activity. Prequin believes there are 916 funds conducting roadshows that are targeting $396bn, compared to 688 funds seeking $223bn this time last year. Almost a dozen so-called mega-funds are still marketing — including KKR ($16.6bn), Apax (€8.5bn), Goldman Sachs Capital Partners ($10bn) and Thomas H Lee ($9bn) — while three groups, Hellman & Friedman, Providence Equity and Silver Lake are all after $8bn.

An overwhelming majority of citizens in the big euro-zone countries believe the euro has damaged their national economies, according to a poll in the Financial Times Monday.

More than two-thirds of the French, Italians and Spanish - and more than half of Germans - believe the single currency has had a "negative impact", according to an FT-Harris poll. In France, just 5% said the euro has had a positive effect on the French economy.

The European Central Bank regards its public credibility, and that of the euro, as essential to its battle against inflation, which is sees as the prerequisite for economic growth.

EUR/USD Has Downside Risk Monday - RBoS
EUR/USD's risk is to the downside Monday, with resistance between 1.2955-75 likely to cap, says Royal Bank of Scotland. Now at 1.2915, the bank says a break below 1.2880-65 support should trigger fresh losses toward the 1.2820-1.2695 retracement zone (61.8%-76.4% of the 1.2485-13365 rally). From an interweek perspective the bank targets the 1.2505-1.2485 area

I have the general pressure for the EUR/USD as down for now.

At present I see the 50% fib on the 1day 6month around 1.2920 as a level to watch in regards to the direction the market will take for this trading session - given the opening of the EUR and the UK session to come.

I also have a level on the 1hr 30day chart around 1.2932 which is M3 on the daily pivots and is also around a level on the 1wk 3yr chart..

Speculators Heavily Invested In Carry
The latest figures from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange show that speculators are the most heavily invested in currency carry trades since last October, with long GBP and short JPY positions showing record highs, according to ABN-Amro. The data, for the week up to last Tuesday, shows that the net aggregate USD position is nearly flat but with long positions against lower yielding currencies, such as the JPY, CAD and CHF, and short positions against higher yielders, such as the AUD, GBP and MXN. The one exception is the EUR, where speculators are sitting on a medium-sized EUR long, despite the negative carry of that trade, says ABN-Amro.

[NZD/USD] was sold down this morning from an intraday high of 0.6968 to an intraday low of 0.6942. A US invt bank was seen selling the pair from the 0.6960 level pushing it below small stops at the 0.6950 level. Japanese Sec House which was also selling the NZD/JPY cross on profit taking after the recent run-up added to the downside pressure for the NZD/USD. The market has completely shrugged off the hawkish comments from the RBNZ after the rate announcement but is now confused after RBNZ Gov Bollard warned of the possibility of a financial crisis because of the nation's low savings rate. It seems that everytime there is a Kiwi supportive development, it wil inevitably be tempered. With such a perception, Kiwi upside above may be difficult to come by.

US Unlikely To Back Europe On Yen - UBS
Comments by U.S. Treasury Undersecretary Adams on Friday suggest U.S. won't support Europeans in tackling weak yen at February G7, says UBS; "Adams described Japan as proceeding cautiously and that was probably an appropriate policy given continued weak spots in the economy, such as consumption. His comments are consistent with our view the Americans will take a back seat to negotiations over the yen, and hence the G7 meeting should not prove to be a pivotal event for FX markets."
