Comment : Euro formed an upward reaction last week, after the lows at 1.4600 area, reaching the area of 1.4900 on Thursday. Bears gained momentum at those levels, as expected, and euro was led towards 1.4700 area again. A move resumption to lower levels is possible, as we will see in the chart analysis below. After such a sharp decline, which didn’t give much opportunity to be followed, the first reaction towards 1.4900-1.5000 was expected to meet sellers, as we had mentioned in our analysis last week. We should keep in mind that the target that emerges from the double top formation, which was breached downwards, is found at 1.4500-50 area, while the basic trend line that links 2005 lows is reached at 1.4450 area.As we have mentioned in our previous analysis, the ranges for the decline are found at 1.4550 area, and the most extreme scenario-according to current facts- would be a reach of 1.4300 area. The most likely scenario would be a formation of an important low between 1.4450 and 1.4550. From those levels, a correction (from 1.6040 tops) around 38.2% and 50% would be possible and a retracement to the previous base of 1.5300, which should be tested as resistance, is likely. For the time being, the downward move is been continued from the 1.4900 reaction, and first targets are set at 1.4660-70 and 1.4620-40. A move to new lows will lead euro to the first important target area (1.4500-50), followed by the area of 1.4430-50. Intraday resistance emerges at 1.4760-70 and 1.4800-25, which is more important. This negative outlook will change after a move above Thursday’s tops at 1.4910…
TRADING EUR/USD SWING TRADING : Sell positions, that were opened at the retracement towards 1.4900, where our first targets were set, could have as first target a pullback to 1.4630 lows. The upper part could remain open for the reach of the basic targets at 1.4550 area. Below those levels buy opportunities will emerge for the short term, adding positions per 50-70 pips until 1.4370-00 area, with stops below 1.4300. First target will be at 1.5000 and according to the conditions that will be formed, we will follow until 1.5200-5300 area. INTRADAY TRADING : The short term trend after the reach of 1.4900 is bearish and should remain at least until the area of 1,4660-80 or 1,4600-30. We will use the first reaction towards the middle Bollinger in the hourly chart for intraday sell positions, adding more at 1.4790-4805, and stops above 1,4835. Short term (small) buy positions could be tried at 1,4660-70 and 1,4630-40 support levels, with tight stops and targets.
Comment : The beginning of the week finds the pound still weak, as the decline was continued on Friday, below the important support levels of 1.8500. Our targets are set at 1.8300-5, where our target after the break of the big consolidation (we can see it in the daily chart) and the two equal waves from 2007 tops (AB and CD in the daily chart) are found. As a result, after a move below 1.8350 area, we will examine the formation of an important short term low scenario. We will abandon this scenario after a move below 1.8270, and if these levels are breached, next important targets are set at 1.8000. This would be an extreme but yet possible short term scenario… Important intraday resistance is found at 1,8500-30 and 1,8580-8610, which is more important.
TRADING GBP/USD : The sharp decline on Friday was continued in the beginning of the week, leading to the 1.8400 area. For the short term, we will use any reaction towards 1.8500-30 area for sell positions with stops above 1.8560 and target at a retracement to previous lows. Sell orders could be tried again at 1,8590-8610 with stops above 1,8650… A move below 1,8350 will be used for buy positions, adding more at 1,8300 and stops below 1.8250. Our target for these positions will be wider at 1,8900-1,9000…

Gold hit the resistance area on Friday that was highlighted in our analysis, and along with a big drop in oil prices, pushed Eur/Usd lower. The euro now starts the week around 1.4700. The market may try to trade lower this week if the price of gold and oil continue their decline, and that may be lead by sentiment initially, but fed by a week of important U.S. based economic data. The moves on the euro automatically equate to new highs on Usd/Chf which bounced from the trend-line support that we have been looking at in recent posts, on Friday. We have an update on the one hour chart swissy chart, and have gone to the weekly oil chart to really get to the bottom of the technical story on oil. After all, who needs headlines when we have daily Elliott Wave analysis on the movers of the market?
OIL
Most currency pairs are highly correlated with Oil and Gold, they have to be in the respect that over 90% of all currency tickets has the Usd on one side of then or the other, as the Usd is the currency that international markets price oil in, traders should be watching commodities closely to find the right way on euro or swissy trends. We have kept this chart simple because that is the way that we like most charts to be; we have four clear waves with wave five to come. The chart is looking for technical support in wave four on Oil, which should slow down the short moves on Eur/Usd and push the Usd/Chf lower. Before that, we may need to see...

Forex Market Overview 21 August 2008 The Usd was weaker across the board in the Asian session, as continued concerns over Fannie and Freddie weight on sentiment. The EurUsd climbed from 1.4741 to 1.4812, while the UsdJpy fell sharply from 109.90 to 108.79. The GbpUsd traded in a 1.8620 to 1.8669 range, before breaking out in late session trading. The Jpy fueled carry trades continued to come under selling pressure, as risk aversion has crept back, with the EurJpy trading down to 161.07 and the AudJpy to 95.06. Wall Street closed in the black, but Asian regional indexes have been unable to hold on to the positive momentum, with loses across the board. European stock indexes are all pointing to a lower opening, with the exception of the FTSE. Crude & Gold continued to gain ground (pressuring Usd) with wti trading at $116.83bll and gold up 0.93% to $821.28oz.
The Japanese trade balance was only 91.1bn vs. 234.9bn exp, as import value grew (18.2% y/y) driven by oil related-price increases. It's interesting to note that exports to Asia grew, while US and Europe destined exports remained weak. Machine Tool Orders dropped -8.9% vs. -8.9% prior reading.
On the continent, the market will be watching Eurozone's PMI surveys for continued evidence of deteriorating business activity. Should the figures come in line with market expectations, this will suggest that the region is in the midst of a technical recession. Sharp declines were printed in July for both manufacturing and service PMI for the second consecutive month.
In the UK, the market will be focused on Retail Sales. With CBI's falling off the map to lows not seen since 1983 and with the BRC's measure that also fell, we expected retail sales to follow…however not to dire levels.

The Usd was slightly weaker in the Asian session and start of the trading week. This week will have market participants pondering the swift unraveling of the global growth decoupling story and sharp correction in commodity prices. The massive surge in the Usd caught many analysts off guard, causing a broad recalculation of forecasts. However, most are now predicting a short term tempering of Usd buying. We should like to see how this week's trading plays out, before expressing our short term bias. The EurUsd traded upward from 1.4649 to 1.4767, while UsdJpy fell slightly from 110.61 to 109.97 on light trading. The commodity bloc was able to gain some ground, with the NzdUsd moving sharply from 0.7040 to 0.7100 and AudUsd from 0.8654 to 0.8745. Crude is slightly higher trading at $115.11bll up 1.17% while gold is above the $800oz mark. The Asian regional indexes are following Wall Street mixed closed on Friday, with Shanghai down -4.61%. European futures are now pointing to a mixed opening.
With a relatively empty calendar today, the European session markets will be watching the EuroZone trade balance for signs of global weakness.

Expect some volatility on the markets today as consumer sentiment will be released. The expectation is 62% and if the actual value released is greater than the 62% expectation then that will normally indicate strength for the Dollar.
Euro had a minimal intra day bounce before it's downtrend continuation but a further continuation or a reversal could pend on today's consumer sentiment.
We took another position on the AUDJPY with 80 pips in profit zone and managing the trade. It is unlikely we will hold this position over the weekend.

The Usd was stronger at the start of the trading week in the Asian session. The EurUsd traded around the 1.5700 levels, while the UsdJpy failed to hold above the 108.00 level, slipping down to 107.84 as the day progressed. The NZD was supported by heavy margin buying, according to the Tokyo Financial Exchange publicly released data last week. The UsdNzd was able to rally of the 0.7409 session low to 0.7439. The UsdMxn saw a massive gap on the open, spiking from 10.0200 to 10.1229, as the BANXICO announced the end of its daily selling net fx reserves from accumulated oil revenues. The Jpy fueled carry trades continued to perform well, as risk declined and Japanese economic fundamentals erode. The EurJpy continued to rally from Friday's sell off, which saw 167.50 lows to Asian session 169.70 highs. The Asian stock markets are following the US higher, with Shanghai up 1.78%. Commodities are slightly firmer with wti crude trading up 0.28% to $123.61brl.
Despite the sudden resurgence in the Nzd strength, due partially to the excessive buying of Japanese margin traders and low liquidity, we expect to Nzd to weaken considerable in the coming week. Trade balance narrowed with imports falling on slowing demand but exports grew unexpectedly. With a "normal" monetary policy rate round 6.00% - 6.25% levels and the RBNZ clearly signaling a shift to a growth focus, the interest rate differential long enjoyed by the kiwi will unravel.
No major events or economic data scheduled for release in the UK or Eurozone.

The Swiss Franc has been trending higher against the Yen since late November of 2000. With both CHF and JPY traditionally used as funding currencies for carry trades when paired with other currencies, their relationship among themselves has been primarily driven by the slightly higher yield offered by the SNB versus the BOJ. With both monetary authorities now firmly on hold, there is little reason to believe the underlying conditions guiding the pair’s broad direction will change in the near term. That said, CHFJPY does tend to oscillate in wide ranges along its upward trajectory. This can mean substantial swings in P/L for traders holding long-term CHFJPY positions.
Price action has seen the pair confined to a neat upward-sloping corridor since August of last year. Current trading has taken CHFJPY to the upper boundary of this corridor, with the Slow Stochastic oscillator topping out above the key 80 level and appearing to favor a reversal. A bearish Hanging Man candle now appears at resistance, lending further credence to a near-term selloff.
Hedging Strategy
Currency Pair: CHFJPY
Long Term Bias: Bullish Long Term Position: Holding Long
Short Term Bias: Bearish Short Term Position: Short below 103.40, Target 99.59, Stop-Loss at 104.31
Traders looking to protect their existing long CHFJPY position or enter long at a favorable price may consider a hedge short CHFJPY below 103.40 with a target at 99.59. Once the profit target is hit, we expect the bullish trend to resume. We will maintain a stop-loss on our hedge position should CHFJPY break out to the upside prior to the limit being hit. We will set the stop-loss near 104.31.
When should I use the hedging feature?
Markets hardly ever trade in the same direction for long. Though there are general trends that may unfold for weeks, months and years; there is almost always considerable fluctuation in price during these periods – sometimes leading to significant retracements. There are a few common strategies that traders use to immunize their risk to counter-trend moves while still holding to the long-term trend. One method of reacting to these changing tides is to actively enter and exit a trade on each swing, which requires constant attention and a superior ability to pick tops and bottoms. The other, more passive, strategy is to hold on for the long-term trend through retracements in the belief that the higher trend will reengage. Taking a temporary hedge positions through the counter-trend moves, on the other hand, requires less accuracy in picking tops and bottoms and at the same time lowers the drawdown while increasing the potential for return.
The hedging feature is currently available on all accounts using FXCM’s No Dealing Desk service.

The greenback was slightly weaker in Asian session. It looks like the Usd will close this week up for the first time in a month thanks to the Fed aggressive action. London and US markets are closed today for good Friday and this fact should keep trading subdued. The sudden shift in the Usd could be reflective of the change market sentiment toward Feds unorthodox approach to monetary policy and inevitable ECB easing. While being lengthened by the commodity markets sell off. But we don't believe traders should get so bullish on the greenback just yet. The US economy still has plenty of downside risk and we expect the Fed to move closer to 1.00% by mid year. Until this plays out we still see Usd weakness and EurUsd heading higher near term.
