An Interesting Chart

An Interesting Chart- The USD/CAD Weekly
Andrei Pehar, Chief currency Strategist, fxKnight.com

We've got a great Fibonacci pattern here, with divergence as well. The first time we bounced up the resistance held. Price touched the envelope and bounced up again after hitting the 127% extension at 1.0166 as well.

We are once again moving up. The 21 EMA is on it's way to meet us at the 0% Fib at 1.0782 where a third divergence forming as well.

What happens next will depend on whether this level holds as resistance or breaks and becomes our new support. If it holds as resistance, we could possibly move back down to 1.0372, and 1.0166 after that. The ultimate downside of this Fib is at 0.9911...

Non-Farm Payrolls and the GBP/USD

Posted 10-01-2009 at 04:58 PM by fxKnight.com (FXKnight)
Updated 10-02-2009 at 04:48 PM by fxKnight.com
It’s the first Friday of a brand new month, which means new Non-Farm Payroll numbers soon to be announced.



This report continues to be interesting barometer of the recession in the US. Analysts are predicting a decrease in the amount of unemployment this month (the first figure under 200K by some estimates), following a decrease also the prior month.



During NFP there is a temporary increase in market volatility, and price can move either in the direction that would seem to be indicated by the report, or it can spike and move in the complete opposite direction as well.



Ahead of the report, let’s take a look at some significant levels on the GBP/USD....

Key Level to Watch for the Yen

Posted 03-16-2009 at 04:57 PM by fxKnight.com (FXKnight)
Andrei Pehar, Sr. Currency Strategist, fxKnight.com

We are approaching a key level for the Japanese Yen vs. the US Dollar, one which proved to be of significance back in March of 2008, and again in November. If 98.50 holds as resistance, then we would likely head back to retest 95.74 as support (this also corresponds to the weekly 21 EMA).

If price can stay north of that line, and eventually break 98.50 resistance to find some support there, the next likely targets would be 100.56 and 102.44 If, on the other hand 98.50 proves unbreakable resistance, and support at 95.74 gives way, then we could be looking at a drop back down to 90.63, perhaps 88.07 as a secondary target.
