DAY 12 - MAJOR FUNDAMENTAL EVENTS FOR COMING WEEK

alifari Posted 12 June  in #Trader's blog #Fundamental #Events #Major
Some important news event scheduled for upcoming week, but market emphasis would be on two major central banks Fed's & BoE.
While both central banks are expected to keep interest unchanged but their press conference could provide hint of future rate hikes. While Fed's are giving strong signal of at least two rate hikes this year and BoE is expected to wait until Brexit vote and it's implications on future policies.
On the whole it would be an eventful week and lot of market volatility is expecte…

DAY 5 - FUNDAMENTAL VS TECHNICAL TRADING

alifari Posted 5 July  in #Trader's blog #Trading #Fundamental #Technical
I consider myself a pure technical trader using supply & demand along with price action to execute trades. However, as a trader I understand that there are certain scenario where technical analysis are no more valid and fundamental aspect completely overshadow technical view.
The reason I brought up this issue is recent development related to Greece is one of those events, where purely fundamentals may dictate price action in next few days and as such as a trader we I have to be cautious trading…

DAY 17 - FUNDAMENTAL NEWS EVENTS FOR COMING WEEK

alifari Updated 17 May  in #News #Trader's blog #Fundamental #Week #Events
"There's such huge differences between being smart, being right, and making money”
Another interesting week ahead as far as fundamental events are concerned. While there any other economic data being released in next few days, but in my opinion the four important ones are Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes by RBA, MPC Vote Official Bank Rate by BoE, FOMC Meeting Minutes by Fed's and Monetary Policy Statement by BoJ.
It's all about interest rate decisions and stimulus which is driving market up or d…

Which one are you? Smart or right? Or maybe you are making a lot of money? :)

I am none of three right now, but I am striving to make lot of money and to achieve that, I think I don't need to be smart or right most of the time. It's all about discipline, practice, hard work and passion.

DAY 1 - Fundamental Outlook

alifari Posted 1 Aug.  in #Trader's blog #Fundamental #Outlook
US NON FARM PAYROLL NUMBERS
The NFP July headline number rose +209k, a small miss from the expected +233k, but importantly, it was the sixth consecutive monthly gain north of that psychological +200k print (the private payrolls miss was a tad larger at +198k versus +230k). The unemployment rate backed up a tick to +6.2% because of a larger rise in the labor force than the employment level. Average hourly earnings were nearly flat, while the workweek held steady at 34.5 hours.
WHAT TO EXPECT N…

Japan - BoJ Monetary Policy Statement: The expectation is that the central bank will keep its policy unchanged for the time being. Moreover, we are yet to see any majo…

Fundamental News Event for 1st Week of April 2014

alifari Posted 29 Mar.  in #News #Trader's blog #Fundamental #Event
There are certain weeks in the foreign exchange market that are more exciting than others and the first week of each month is always a busy one. In fact the mini breakout in USD/JPY on Friday indicated some larger moves expected in the major currency pairs in the coming week. There are no shortages of Tier 1 economic reports on the calendar but we also have central bank rate decisions and a major change in fiscal policy in Japan. There will be a lot of news for the market to absorb so direction…

NZDUSD Analysis

alifari Posted 21 Mar.  in #Trader's blog #Fundamental #Technical #Nzdusd #Anlaysis
Fundamental View
New Zealand Dollar is considered a risk appetite currency and tend to perform well in time of stable growth across the board. NZDUSD has performed well since February 2014 and in last couple of months it has gone up around 580 pips and just shy of April 2013 high of 0.8675.

EURUSD Analysis before FOMC News Event

alifari Posted 18 Mar.  in #Trader's blog #Fundamental #Eurusd #Price #Action
Fundamental View

We are seeing lot of buying interest at 1.3880 on EURUSD as every dip into this level is being bought heavily. The fundamentals certainly doesn't look favorable to this buying spree because Eurozone CPI number came out as 0.7% which was weaker than expected and Germany ZEW Economic Sentiment fell from 52.8 last month to 46.6 this month, which is the lowest number since September 2013. Perhaps traders are more confident in Eurozone economic growth compare to US economic growth, …
