Review Key Support and Resistance Levels for USD by GoLearn Forex
Key Support & Resistance (S/R) Levels:
As the Greenback continues to rally heading into the end of the year we thought it would be a good time to review a couple key S/R levels. Traders generate S/R based on a number of factors. One key factor is based on the tenor of the chart the trader is using. A trader using a tick or minute chart will be less concerned about S/R generated from a 4 hour chart that is 100+ pips from the current handle. However, that same trader will want to know where the longer term S/R levels sit. If price moves towards those points he can integrate them into his trading strategies thereby profiting and or avoiding losses.
GBP/USD:
The Cable is currently sitting below its 100 day MA which generates an already negative bias. A candle body below 1.6198 would generate the next Short entry point Near term profit taking would be the 200 day MA. If the 200 day MA is breached we would target the low of this range bound period near 1.5683 which also represents the Fibonacci 38.2% Retrace level. The 38.2% Retrace level was generated from the Sterlings turn around in January of this year.
AUD/USD:
The Aussie has shown great resilience and for good reason. The RBA had taken a hawkish stance on rates as it was amongst the first to raise rates. The Australian economy is in relatively good shape. Additionally, the AUD is a commodity currency and it has ridden the commodity rally. Currently the AUD is sitting just below the 50 day MA. A candle body appearing below .8944 equal to the Fibonacci 76.4% Retrace level, which also coincides with recent support levels would trigger a near term Short entry. We would increase the Short position with a close below the 100 day MA, currently holding at .8834. A long signal would be generated with a close well above near term resistance at .9325.
With the EUR taking a sharp nose dive yesterday it prompts us to look at recent relative price levels on the G-7. The EUR/USD is the most commonly traded pair in the world. The price of the EUR has broad implications on the relative value of other G-7 currencies. Although the below data can be shown graphically it is easier to view price differentials in a table. If the EUR is a leading indicator of relative value then the CAD, AUD, and GBP may be in for a minor drop.

US Producer Prices Climb by GoLearn Forex
Global Equity Markets were mixed on Tuesday as Dubai continues to sort out its debt repayment obligations. In the U.S Producer Prices climbed 1.8% which was more than double expectations. This caused stocks to retreat as it may engage the U.S Fed to raise rates out of necessity instead of a planned withdrawal from its current quantitative easing policies. The DJIA slid 49.05 points to close at 10,452. Ahead of the rate decision today traders have consolidated positions as markets may move drastically depending on what language the Fed uses.
There are a number of other economic data releases on the docket for today. Oil traders will be watching Crude Oil Inventory figures. CPI data as well as Housing Starts and Building Permits will also be on the wire today. In the U.K Jobless Claims will print although no major changes are expected. GDP in Australia has already printed slightly below expectations.
The Greenback continued to advance against its G-10 counterparts with the AUD giving up 1.15% for the day. The DXY closed above the 100 day MA to 76.961 helping to legitimizing the recent rally. Gold and Oil were essentially unchanged finishing the U.S session at 1.125.20 and 70.69 respectively.

Making a trade with the help of money is used to be a source of the dominion of big financial banks as well as of large financial institutions. But now the scenario has changed completely. In today’s genera, this process of trading is easy to be done by even the normal person through the help of foreign currency market of FOREX. People can now make a purchase and can sell out different types of currency, needing nothing more than a basic type of computer and a network connection, which can help you stay, connected with the outer world. Any person who possesses a computer with an internet connection is able to make a trade in this big FOREX market. Nothing more than this is required. This is actually believed to be a type of investment made in money rather than stocks. This has proved to be a source of solid investment because there cannot be any other improved or enhanced type of trading indicator of the economic status of a country than their money. It is really very possible to make a prediction that when the currency of a particular country is on the verge of increasing or decreasing in its value just by having a look at their overall economic surroundings.
FOREX trading which deals with foreign currency generally make a trade in the form of pairs. It actually means that currencies are always traded in the form of a specific pair. A person makes use of one specific type of currency in order to buy another one. At that time when the monetary value of that specific currency which they bought goes in the upward direction, or the currency they purchased it with goes in the downward direction, then at that specific point of time, they can then exchange these currencies back for the sake of a profit. By dealing with quite a lot of these trades in a single day, a person has the power to make quite a large amount of money from really very small changes in the worth of the currency. The best part about this is that there is no pressure on a trader in order to purchase or sell the particular pair of currency of their own nation. It all depends on a trader, that which particular he wants to buy. If the economy of their own country is really very unstable, they have a chance to invest in the economies of other nations. It means that at those unstable times, they can make a purchase of different type of currency.
The FOREX market is the only market in the world that opens for 24 hours in a day, and works for 5 days in a week; it can be operated from any part of the world at any point of time in a day.
