ForexGen | EUR/USD Trade

This is an example of the method at work.

The first chart is of the 4 hour EUR/USD.

The main trend as determined by the 89’s and 144’s has been in buy mode for the last 40 days.In fact it has been in buy mode for much longer but the charts I use only show 40 days at a time.

The TI does not need to move from down to up or vice versa before you can trade.It does however need to be in the same direction at the time you enter the trade.

Market Commentary With ForexGen

Nothing too exciting with mostly month, quarter, fiscal year end activity dominating market movement. Euro-zone inflation jumped to record highs, IP in Japan continued to fall taking the Nikkei with it down 2.3% on close of Japanese fiscal year.

JPY - It was all about the fixing. Closed soft in New York on Friday, continuing into the Sydney open, dipping below 98.85 before Japanese fixing demand drove it 140 points to print 100.16. Exporters were at the ready once again above 100 and things are now just a tiny bit higher than where we left them on Friday. Topside offers are expected to remain in place although on this rally a few specs took advantage and light stops have gathered 100.30-50; downside, little to support until low 97s. Eurjpy continues to hover around the 55d, with offers above 158 still capping.

EUR - Record highs in inflation data will add weight to the ECBs concern and gave them more to worry about with Euro. EURUSD has set higher lows over the last week and a short term pivot on the hourlies would be 1.5760. Below there we would expect a look back to 1.56 but still maintain a dip buying mentality while the ECB remains in this dilemma. 1.60 is just a matter of time and with good stops gathering above the old highs it could be sooner rather than later.
