  1. Currency May Take Front Seat to Government Debt or Commodities

    Forex 2010: Will FX Risk Correlate or Decouple?

    If you read our last article you will see that our projection for ‘FX Imbalance' was spot on. More important was the lack of high quality buying signals for the move upward versus better signals for exhaustion matched with risk. The final quarter of 2009 offered what I consider to be misplaced risk and a tremendous imbalance for risk as fundamentals worldwide take control.

    Dollar centric focus across all markets places Forex Trading and FX Trading Signals along with Market Timing Alerts at center stage.

    The shell game of government debt is now front and center. U.S Treasurys, JGB’s and GILT’s now take center stage.

    Well, I now anticipate ...

    Forex Market: Upper Time Compression Technical Commentary

    European Fundamentals Not Supportive Versus US Dollar

    I rarely trade the Week time compression but right now it is worth sharing some comments. Let’s start with today, we have a Market Timing Alert forex signal:

    Wed Sept. 9: 9:40-10:20 a.m. EDT start window for 3 hours duration with moderate to strong price action

    Now onto the big picture view and forex trading: My week time compression offers a potential bullish thrust towards 1.5000 – which if it occurs may be extremely exhaustive and could lead to a collapse in the pair. Potential remains that key resistance at 1.4733-79 could offer a quick stall and any move above 1.4819 ...
  3. The Autumn Run in the FX World

    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.

  4. Forex Trading: U.S Dollar Index Takes Center Stage

    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 ...
