2013.05.23 : Forex Technical Analysis: Another day headlined by an important speech.
EUR/USD
Forex Technical Analysis: The speech of Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke produced the anticipated volatility and brought the pair below 1.2880 after first rising to touch the important resistance located at 1.3000.

2013.05.24 : The Forex Market: Is the bears’ power starting to fade?
EUR/USD
After the massive drop experienced Wednesday in the forex market explained, yesterday the pair climbed above 1.2880 and even touched the resistance located at 1.2955. The German Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index came out with better values than expected and this helped the Euro to drive the pair higher but Dollar weakness had a big role in the climb.
The greenback weakened against the Pound as well and the pair bounced higher after touching the level of 1.5040. The Second Estimate GDP came out with the anticipated value of 0.3% and it didn’t have a great impact on the pair as the rise was triggered by Dollar weakness, not Pound strength.
2013.05.27 : The Forex Market: Two bunk Holidays translate into irregular movement.
EUR/USD
The Forex Market: Friday’s better than expected German Ifo Business Climate strengthened the Euro and drove the pair higher but in the second part of the trading session, higher than anticipated values for the US Core Durable Goods Orders took the pair lower, nullifying all the previous gains.

EUR/USD
The Forex Market: Just as anticipated, the fact that both the UK and US Banks were closed yesterday generated a lack of volatility and almost sideways movement.
Although the Cable moved slightly stronger than the EUR/USD, the two bunk holidays affected it as well. However, the trading session was dominated by the bears who managed to take price lower.
2013.05.29 : The Forex Market: A day which is likely to be a trend-setter.
EUR/USD
The Forex Market: The US Consumer Confidence announced at 2:00 pm GMT came out with a better than expected value (76.2 from an estimated 70.7); this generated US Dollar strength and consequently, the pair started to move on a bearish path.
Just as the EUR/USD, the pair moved lower for almost the entire duration of yesterday’s trading session on the back of better than expected US Consumer Confidence and the important support at 1.5040 was touched.
2013.05.30 : The Forex Market: US events hold today’s headlines.
EUR/USD
The Forex Market: Yesterday at 12:00 pm GMT the German Preliminary Consumer Price Index was released and the increase was higher than anticipated: 0.4% from an estimated 0.2%. This strengthened the Euro, took the pair higher and almost the entire day was controlled by the bulls.
The British Pound briefly weakened yesterday when the CBI Realized Sales came out with a lower than anticipated value but the fall was quickly reversed once the US Dollar started to show signs of weakness.
2013.05.31 : The Forex Market: A shift of power might be ahead.
EUR/USD
The Forex Market: Yesterday’s trading session was entirely driven by the US data and surprisingly, all there important economic indicators came out worse than expected, triggering US Dollar weakness and a consequent move up for our pair.
The greenback’s weakness drove the pair higher and the resistance located at 1.5165 was easily broken but 1.5220 is still holding and might reject price lower.
2013.06.03 : The Forex Market: Locked between support and resistance?
EUR/USD
The Forex Market: During Friday’s trading session the pair retraced lower, almost paring all the previous gains, on the back of better than expected numbers for the Chicago Purchasing Managers’ Index which showed an increase from the anticipated 50.3 to 58.7 and strengthened the greenback.
2013.06.04 : The Forex Market: What will be the Bears’ answer to yesterday’s rally?
EUR/USD
The Forex Market: Yesterday’s trading session was unexpectedly volatile and we experienced surprisingly strong moves for a Monday. The day started in a normal fashion, but the US Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index posted a lower value than the anticipated one (estimated was 50.6 and actual was 49.0) and this triggered US Dollar weakness.
The worse than expected US data coupled with a better than expected UK Manufacturing PMI generated a massive rally which easily broke through the important resistance located at 1.5220.
2013.06.05 : The Forex Market: Looking for new highs?
EUR/USD
The Forex Market: The retracement lower we anticipated occurred during yesterday’s trading session but overall the day was characterized by slow and mostly sideways movement. The US Trade Balance came out at -40.3B, better than the estimated -41.1B but the release failed to produce a high impact.
UK’s Construction Purchasing Managers’ Index came out better than expected (estimated 49.7 and actual 50.8) but the pair couldn’t continue its bullish path and slowly retraced lower.
2013.06.06 : The Forex Market: The most eagerly awaited day of the week is finally here.
EUR/USD
The Forex Market: Surprisingly, the last two days have been very slow and price traded in a narrow range between 1.3055 and 1.3100. Although the US ADP Non-Farm Employment numbers came out much worse than anticipated, at 135K (estimated number was 171K), the event failed to significantly move the stubborn pair.
The Cable managed yesterday to move above 1.5380 on the back of better than expected numbers for the UK Services PMI (actual 54.9 and anticipated 53.1); bad US data also weakened the greenback and this made the rise easier.
2013.06.07 : The Forex Market: The last day of a surprising week.
EUR/USD
The Forex Market: Although the benchmark rate remained unchanged at 0.50%, ECB President Mario Draghi seemed much more optimistic about an economic recovery than he did during his last interest rate Press Conference and the effect was a massive rally which broke through the important resistance located at 1.3200.
The UK Official bunk Rate remained unchanged and so did the Asset Purchase Facility, but correlation between the two pairs proved to be strong and the GBP/USD also moved on a strong bullish path, similar to the sister pair, EUR/USD.
2013.06.10 : The Forex Market: Slow start of the week.
EUR/USD
The Forex Market: Friday’s better than expected US Non Farm Employment Change numbers (actual 175K and expected 167K) managed to strengthen the greenback but the tremendous buyer pressure present in the market prevented the pair from dropping substantially.
The US Dollar strength generated by the US Employment data affected directly the Cable and as a result the pair moved below 1.5600, touching the support at 1.5490.
2013.06.11 : The Forex Market: A clash with Resistance is imminent.
EUR/USD
The Forex Market: The French Industrial Production numbers came out with a major and surprising increase: the actual value was 2.2% while the forecast was just 0.2%. However, the impact of this indicator is a mild one and as we saw, its release did not strengthen the Euro substantially and overall the trading session was a ranging one.
2013.06.12 : The Forex Market: Confirming a breakout scenario?
EUR/USD
The Forex Market: Yesterday’s trading session was a mixed one and price failed to break the resistance located at 1.3320 although it came very close to it. No important financial or economic events took place and price remained confined in a range with a slightly bullish bias.
UK’s Manufacturing Production numbers came out worse than expected, at -0.2% from the anticipated 0.0%, but the event didn’t generate strong volatility, probably because the difference between the anticipated number and the actual one was very small.
