EURUSD tests 100 month MA

Posted: 13 Sep 2010 07:21 AM PDT

The EURUSD inches higher as it targets the 1.2854 level next, but also in the way is the 100 month MA which comes in at 1.2839. This level is currently being breached on the upside and if the market can stay above, will be another notch for the bulls (thanks to John Ferguson for the heads up).

Surprise, surprise. They said something about technicals on CNBC

Posted: 13 Sep 2010 07:09 AM PDT

…And the Moving averages they referenced?  The 100 and 200 day SMA. 

The S&P 200 day MA is at the 1115.71 today. A close above would be bullish.

Uh oh! USDCAD bounces off Friday’s low. A break is needed to keep the bears in charge

Friday’s low was 1.0279. Today’s low is 1.0279.

Buyers also have the channel trendline at 1.0271 giving risk conscience traders a second reason to buy on dips. A break below 1.0270 should lead to further downside pressure with 1.0205 the next key target, but until then the low risk dip buyers may keep the price supported.

A move above the 1.0306 level (100 bar MA on the 5 minute chart), would open up a further move to the upside for the pair.

EURJPY showing some bullish tendencies. Risk defined.

Posted: 13 Sep 2010 06:39 AM PDT

EURJPY has been pressured down with the strength of the JPY and Eurozone worries. The pair has some small bullish signs that could signal a positive/bullish bias. The low last week was higher than the low in August. The price moved above the 100 and 200 hour MA today. The price is in a two day up channel. If the technical levels can hold and momentum maintained, the pair has room to run to the upside. Al is dependent on holding key technical support. For a review, click on the following link.

Bobbys Corner-Open Market-Sept.13.2010

Posted: 13 Sep 2010 05:43 AM PDT

bob-slade-forex-2-150x200Good Morning:

I have returned from a few days of holiday with my family.  Very nice and relaxing-just what a few days off should do.

The JPY and USD fell as risk entered the marketplace.  Chinese economic data was better than expected, indicating that the world’s second largest economy is running on full steam. 
Comments from Europe that the banks will have up to 8 years to build up capital and adjust their business model if needed also added to the return of risk to the markets.

Stocks rose, and US futures are also pointing to a positive opening this morning.
Deutsche Postbank lost ground after Deutsche Bank offered up to 25 euros, as they try to take full control of Postbank. 

Oil rose, and Gold also rose.

Oil:$77.10                                                     Gold:$1245.00

NO MAJOR DATA DUE OUT  TODAY.

HAVE A GREAT DAY & GOOD LUCK

Euro Pushes Higher on Basel III

Posted: 12 Sep 2010 06:03 PM PDT

The Euro is bid across the board on the back of the ‘landmark agreement’ - Basel III where regulatory minimums capital standards for banks was reached, protecting against any future financial shocks. On the EUR/JPY pair we saw a jump to the 50% retracement of last weeks move, where the pair also crossed the 4-100hr moving average. A sustained risk rally could carry the pair toward last week’s highs.
