After all the fun and games yesterday where now for GBP pairs?
Bulls have breathed a sigh of relief and bears and have said thanks for another rally-sell opportunity as GBPUSD moves from 1.2350 to 1.2550, GBPJPY 138.50 to 140.65 and EURGBP retreats to 0.8530 from 0.8635Yesterday I was castigated by one reader ( maybe more for all I know) for my referring to the move lower in GBP as being GBPJPY-led and order-flow related generally. Well surprise, surprise, I'm putting the GBP move back up to equally simple factors.Yes there is little doubt that an MPC hawk …
Time For U.S. Dollar Bulls To Surrender?
The US dollar has closed lower for 6 weeks in a row now, which is testing the patience of bulls. This past week the price action cracked the top rail of the horizontal trading range which is a negative, but no confirmation yet the trend has reversed down. There are several more layers of support that will need to be hit before I throw up the white flag and surrender to the bears.This first chart is just a simple daily line chart which shows the US dollar closed just below the top rail on Friday …

The GBP fell under the weight of BOE's Carney's comments this morning. That makes that currency the weakest of the major currencies today.
The USD is mostly weaker - down against all the majors with the exception of the GBP.Below is a snapshot of the changes and ranges for the day. The GBPAUD is really tumbling today wi…

- it is always thin liquidity when its only Australia and New Zealand trading and prior to Tokyo getting started
- Even when Tokyo gets underway its thin

EURUSD attempts to recover – Analysis - 29-12-2016[url=http://www.economies.com/includes/extra/get_image.php?image_name=1482987135.png][/url] The EURUSD pair trades positively after touching 1.0370 yesterday, to approach from testing the EMA50 again, which continues to form negative pressure against the intraday and short term trading, noting that stochastic positivity interprets the reasons of the current rise. In general, the main bearish trend scenario still valid and active in the upcoming period unless breaching 1.0519 level and holding above it, as breaching this level represent…
