Yen Carry Trade is Back!

http://www.forexblog.org

I can’t remember how long it’s been since I was hyping the Yen carry trade (though a browsing of the ForexBlog archives indicates 2 years). Upon the outset of the credit crisis, forex markets went haywire, and one of the main “beneficiaries” was the Yen, which soared as carry trades were unwound. Now, however, a similar set of circumstances that made the Yen carry trade attractive from 2006-2008 have re-appeared, and it looks like the trade could be on the verge of making a big comeback.

Nasdaq Prints New Highs. Expecting A Bull Trap?

http://short-termtrading.blogspot.com

The 60-minute trend is up according to the force index indicator. The nasdaq emini is printing new highs and is moving above the upward channel that has contained prices since the beginning of February. I have a short position on the S&P, but it is a loser after so many consecutive up closes. %b indicator is developing a negative divergence.

Swing Trader

Swing Trading Rules:

  • Look for stocks breaking out of bases or chart patterns on strong volume. Lots of stocks break out of bases and fail, so I want to stress the importance of strong volume on the BO bar. Strong volume means accumulation.

Stock Market Commentary: Bulls Pushing Their Luck

http://feedproxy.google.com

Bulls kept bears out of the game for yet another day as the rally powered higher. Small Caps built on their leadership (note relative strength to the Nasdaq) as the MACD trigger line climbed to new 6-month highs. While markets may not necessarily head down tomorrow bulls should be looking for a test of the 20-day MA before another challenge of highs is made.

Following yesterday's bearish downturn for the U.S. Dollar, the greenback will try and recover some of its losses with the help of several critical economic indicators today. Both the U.S. Trade Balance Report and this week's unemployment claims are likely to have an impact on Dollar positions.

Pound Falls, but may be Oversold

http://www.forexblog.org

One of the pitfalls of forex blogging (or all financial reporting for that matter) is that it’s inherently after-the fact. In other words, any information about the past – while relevant – is inherently useless, since it has theoretically already been priced into the asset (or currency in this case). Before I begin my post on the Pound’s recent decline and the factors that wrought it, then, I wanted to offer the caveat that in analyzing past events, we must simultaneously look to the future.

Measured Move ABCD Example in Mar 10 SPY Intraday

http://feedproxy.google.com

I love highlighting Measured Move Patterns (very similar to flags) in the markets due to the price pattern symmetry and structure - each one serves as a great educational reference of this not-so-common pattern.

Fewer people know what an AB=CD pattern is than do a bull or bear flag - though the two patterns are similar.

Let’s take a look at today’s AB=CD Measured Move and see how we could have traded it so we’ll know this concept next time it forms.

Stocks Continue to Rally despite Drop in Volatility
U.S. equity markets are trading firm overnight after yesterday’s surge to the upside. Buying pressure dried up late in the session, but no damage was done to the uptrend. Volatility

is falling which is making traders appear complacent. This could be both good and bad. On the good side, it could mean traders are gaining confidence in the recovery which will send prices higher.
