USDCAD trading idea for the week of 13-Nov-2017

Technical Analysis We can see that USDCAD has been in an overall down trend for the past two weeks. Currently it is testing an up trend line which makes up the upward move all the way from September. We can also see that the price had slided down earlier through Fibonacci 23.6 level in the previous week’s candle. Trading Preference If the pair is bearish in the short-term.

USDCAD trading idea for the week of 06-Nov-2017

Technical & Fundamental Analysis USDCAD initially tried to rally, but 1.29 level proved to be resistive. Several attempts to sustain above 1.29 failed and the pair slided down later during the week. On Friday, the disappointing NFP report from USA and the improvement in the employment figures from Canada only helped the pair to drop further. Trading preference Due to the above factors, I prefer to sell this pair in the coming week. It seems like the pair will be drawn towards the up trendline shown in the above chart.

EURUSD trading idea for the week of 06-Nov-2017

Technical and Fundamental factors EURUSD has been falling after the head & shoulder pattern formed two weeks ago. Last week, even a disappointing NFP report from USA did not help this pair rally, but rather it looks set to fall much further, to fulfill the anticipated move of the head & shoulder. A dovish Draghi also helps this move. Trading preference The idea is to sell the pair when it breaks below the close of the last week’s candle. The target could be around 1.30 level. But a bounce up…

GBPUSD trading idea for the week of 06-Nov-2017

Even though The Cable tried to rally initially during the course of last week in anticipation of the interest rate hike, the actual hike sent the pair lower. This was due to the fact that BoE is dovish even though interest rate was increased. Now the pair is testing the up trend line we have been following for quite some time. If the pair breaks below the trendline, it could send send the pair much lower, especially if it can also break 1.30 level. Trading preference Wait for the break…

How to recognize a fake ‘binary options’ website

It is quite usual to come across someone who had become a victim of a scam of some sort. People fall victim to scam for many reasons. The most obvious reason is that they have been promised huge returns and rich life by the scammer, while the victim was mesmerized by the promise of richness, too greedy to see the obvious red signs or they simply didn’t have enough knowledge to recognize a scam. Earlier, I wrote an article about the tactics used by the scammers and how to avoid…

GBPUSD Trading idea for the week of 30-Oct-2017

However, the move to 1.3250 was met with resistance which in turn led the pair to fall towards the uptrendline that we have been following for quite some time now. The trend line could offer support for this pair. However, if the pair falls, breaking through the trend line, it could go down towards 1.30 level. If the trend line does offer support, the pair could again move up towards the resistance again. Trading preference…

EURUSD trading idea for the week of 30-Oct-2017

EURUSD went up as the week started but then it broke down significantly. We can notice that the break to the downside came after a ‘head & shoulder’ pattern formation on theĀ  daily chart. Based on the move after the head & shoulder, the pair could drop further to the 1330 region, especially if Fibonacci 38.2 level is broken on its way. However, when we look at the weekly chart, this downward movement can be considered as a retrachment after such a parabolic upward move for most part of the…

USDCAD trading idea for the week of 23-Oct-2017

Fundamental Analysis USDCAD rallied significantly on Friday due to the disappointing retail sales report from Canada. We can see that the Canadian Dollar has given up all it gained when Bank of Canada delivered as surprise interest rate hike in September. Technical Analysis The pair is currently at a resistance zone. A break above this zone will send the pair much higher. In fact it looks very much likely that it is going to happen. Bank of Canada is not so hawkish. Feds are Hawkish. This, coupled with the balance…
