Slowly but surely, the dollar continues to take positions

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Thus, the euro-dollar has updated a maximum year, showing a mark 1.4992, and thus struck the last resistance of 1.4960 on its way, being in neprotorgovannoy 1.4960-1.53 zone. However, faster growth is not yet happening, apparently hampered by the fact that the 1.50 mark is a psychological barrier. But we continue to believe that the completion of the approach of growth can be expected only when the euro will show two or more pulsed daily candles (height of 150 points or more). Meanwhile, the euro at the daily charts is growing slowly, but steadily, indicating a struggle, and volumes. Once faith indeces bears in the fact that the euro-dollar will not stop, will be broken, the pair immediately quickly and without volume fly up. In principle, the hope of bears like to eat. Because, on the one hand, all markets are growing absolutely no apparent reason, but on the other hand, no one believes in the longevity of the current optimism. However, this did not prevent oil prices rise to new highs this year, 80.5 dollars per barrel mark WTI.

Euro is not yet able to break through resistance at 1.4960

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

So, while the euro rose to 1.4967. Antidollarovoe rally in all markets continues unabated. In the euro-dollar increase in the volume continues, the pair showed 13 small consecutive four-hour candles in a row. With a penetration 1.4960 mass market, probably will not be able to resist the growth and acceleration of the motion will occur. 1.53 Charges option we are determined to see in the next few days, but most likely, even at this current wave of growth will not be completed. In general, we still see no comment on the local market situation in the context of the ongoing trend.

But it makes sense to focus on the future prospects of couples. Some time ago we expected that the dollar rally will certainly be completed punitive action against the players encountered in long-term dollar selling at the output of the summer range, and in November, waiting for a terrible crash euro (up to 1.42) and in all markets. Even earlier, in the first half of summer, we thought that the bulk of growth to a mark of 1.47, before the end of August, after the collapse in the euro area 1.31-1.33. All of these scenarios, we were forced to reconsider, because the euro has grown relatively slow, the volumes, and hence the movement was more than justified. Our last scenario is that the euro will rise until the end of the year upto 1.56-1.57, but the historical highs euro still will not update. Now we tend to assume that the upward movement will not end even in December or January and the euro will exceed 1.60 in the trend, going from the beginning of March. Naturally, this will mean a continued rally in all markets, especially commodity. At the same time, many analysts write that the current expansion is completely unfounded, purely speculative, aimed at ensuring that due to the effect of the crowd to entice an unreasonable weight in buying assets and then sell them to the maximum of the assets, after which the stock markets, oil, etc. crumble and reveal the second floor. As proof of unreasonableness growth they cause U.S. economic data, which seemed to show no improvement. In particular, unemployment in the U.S. continues to grow, credit is reduced, etc. On the mass of other hidden mines in the U.S. economy we ourselves have written repeatedly. Nevertheless, it is necessary to draw attention to the fact that growth in the U.S. in the second quarter is revised to -0.7% per annum, and the data for the 3rd quarter, which will be published later this month, expect growth of 2.7% per annum! Of course, one could argue that it is painted statistics. But we just tend to think that the latest data, for example, Nonfarm Payrolls, most noticeably distort the picture on the downside. The situation in the U.S. economy really began to improve. If it were not so, we would not see now going full speed a falling dollar, which benefits the U.S. Click to continue »
