Forex Update

It has been a while since I have talked about the Forex market. I have been a little to busy to keep up with the technical analysis but I have taken a new long position recently. I see the rising price of crude oil weakening the dollar more.
The Euro has been on a retreat from record highs but the drawback seems to be nearing an end. Its looking like the combination of rising crude oil prices and weak financial numbers on Wall Street have made an opportunity to buy the Euro. This is based only off of economic data and no chart analysis. I will update later.

EUR/USD

  It’s been a few days since I have done an update on the Euro/USD and my Forex trading.  The Euro has been a good currency for investing this month, as I have now had well over 50 trades for a positive gain of 241 pips.  In the latter part of this month the Euro has seen a slow down and some strong selling driving its price back down some.After hitting an all time high on the 16th of 1.5904 it began a retreat back down 1.5342 only to start back up to what looked like a retest of the 1.5904.  It didn’t quite make it and for the moment stopped out at 1.5844.  It now looks to be in a period of consolidation and taking any positions on this pair at the moment is not for me.

Euro/USD Update

So anyway, today the feds announced a .75 rate cute to try to save what’s left of our economy.  This briefly sent the EUR/USD on a plunge as Wall Street gained over 400 points.  After falling all the way back down to 1.5612 it looks as if the Euro is trying to make some recovery.  Its only been a couple days ago the Euro was pushing record territory up to 1.5900 and then some.  I am looking for a retest of the 1.5900 in the coming days as the rate cut news fades away.
