Forex Trading to Improve Through Year End

Goodbye to August, a questionable one at that, as we get ready for what is likely to be a fantastic autumn FX market. I anticipate Market Timing Alerts to be restored to normal forex signal levels with effective technical price action and I expect liquidity but more so technical performance to normalize and be contained within efficient technical patterns.

 

I extend a gracious ‘thank you’ to all of our forex traders in the Timing the Markets Trade Room for their patience during a tumultuous August forex trading period. I know all of us are eager and look forward to resumption of more normal price patterns and market timing systems.

 

Macro Market Comments:

 

Currently I feel the equity market is zealously overbought, if that, let alone I am convinced that dealers, brokers and market makers of the like have been distributing or front-running the common joe schmo investor. This is not good!

 

Gold is over-extended and a break back below $984.00 levels with a New York close below 987-984 will be the first indication that Gold has experienced an illiquid bull thrust. This will be an important indicator for me but I do believe the forex market is the leader on the world stage for equity values and treasury yields. GILT’s are not in this race but JGB’s are now coming to the front of the pack as the world looks set to start to reevaluate risk for the balance of this year.

 

I remain cautious against equity values and fundamental news that may zealously impact the short-term value of the U.S. Dollar Index. Regular Market Forecast commentary should start to return to standard rate of delivery from me as soon as FX Technical’s improve and I see Gold reconditioned technically. Until then, stay tuned, remain patient and let’s continue to remain composed and in the hunt for what can be some fantastic trading events over the next few weeks and months to come.

Forex Traders see EUR/USD Face Key Resistance Levels

 

My classic July Tsunami is trying to form in the U.S. Dollar Index. I do not trade the Index but I prefer to focus on the next best place to trade the Dollar, in my opinion, as seen in the EUR/USD or GBP/USD. On a daily basis now the European Central Bank (ECB) is striving to talk-down the pair by honestly acknowledging the economic struggles in Europe and of course the rest of the world. In tandem with this, European banks are facing a high debt load with the normally high savings deposit rates by their customers; equilibrium usually prevails.

 

On a serious note – an increase in Dollar strength is much preferred fundamentally for the world economic outlook as a strong Dollar is in the world’s best interest. That’s my professional opinion anyway.

 

Currently the eur/usd is still mired in a bunch of nasty noise. Today we tried three different trades for stop loss of -2, -5 and minus 7. Our first trade was a bear call from 3955 that cleanly ran down to the mother load of support at 3913 as noted in my article yesterday afternoon. We desired a breakdown so instead of booking in excess of 35 pips, we stayed in the trade for minus two in effort to not get jigged out. Needless to say, this was one bird-in-the-hand we chose not to take this time.

 

Now onto the price map:

 

Resistances: 1.3993, 1.4031-65, 4111, 4147, 4255, 4313

 

Supports: 1.3955, 3927, 3901, 3860, 3811, 3777, 3723, 3604, 3539, 3339

 

I am camped out for the big move that I believe is pending. I feel the boomerang is coming and it’s going to be ugly. Chip-Chop! If no boomerang, we’ll follow the leader!

 

We should have some Market Timing Forex Signals:

 

Tuesday June 14th 1:30 – 2:15 a.m. for 3.5 hours duration with strong price action.

Timing the Markets Trade Room offers Small Profit on GBP/USD Sell Signal

 

Currently we are in stand-down mode as the eur/usd appears oversold and the Cable (GBP/USD) is either in stall mode on the bear front with deeper targets at 1.6113 or it is setting up for a classic Friday stall or, it is forming a basic bull pattern to test 1.6260 -93, 1.6321-59 or up towards 1.6450.

 

I think we will move our focus to the EUR/USD for now or we may attempt a ‘half-margin’ bear breakout trade if it reloads. This being Friday, could be best to walk away soon as our Trading Room can settle on about net 7% profit on equity for in the week for what was sort of a slow week. We missed an overnight trade on Wednesday for about 70 additional pips – but that’s okay!
