Weekly Forecasts on Exotic Crosses (April 23 – 27, 2012)


We are currently experiencing bullish reversals in the markets, brought about by some fundamental events across the globe. Should this be a surprise to us? Not at all, especially when we delve deeper into an aspect of the dynamics of the markets. Market studies have revealed that that the seriousness of market metamorphosis could be decided by the pressure on the market. During a serious movement, pressure gains momentum with it. If the transaction pressure is weighed relative to the market volatility, ‘elusive’ fact concerning the easy moves of the instrument turns conspicuous. If the transaction pressure is weighed relative to the market movement, more fact about the easy moves may be derived. Intensifying moves in an equilibrium territory may portend a probably exponential rise in price pressure. On the same weight, moves that become less intensified may portend a counter-trend rise in pressure. It should have been noted that expanding pressure brings with it a more colossal directional move. Still, a speculator ought not to deprecate the seemingly refractory nature of the financial markets. The most crucial issue to comprehend about the market pressure is that it is not just the pressure itself the concerned analysts are particular about. With any given market move a significantly erroneous notion is thinking that there exists a bear for each bull, and therefore the market pressure is ineffectual. If this were true, the markets would be caught in a dangerously protracted consolidation. The markets are propelled by the avarice and fright of the bulls and bears. Thus the transaction pressure and market movements are factors that make us see the realities of price dynamics. Consider buying/selling pressure as a lopsided attempt plus the market action as the aftermath of the attempt. If bears are inclined to smooth their orders at all cost there might be propensity to do so at the bid rather than sit back at the offer. In case the purchasing need is scantily situated beneath the price then the markets would be propelled towards the downside till the bears get satisfied or not be inclined to go after market moves any further to the downside. Alternatively, if bulls are inclined to act they may purchase the offer and not sit on the bid. If bulls are more inclined and there is not much resistance atop the price, the market may be seen moving up till the bulls are satisfied or not be inclined to go after the markets to the upside.
Below is the summary of some of my trading forecasts this week.

AUDJPY
Primary Trend: Bullish
This cross, which is in a notable bullish correction, is currently hesitating before finding the next line of the least resistance. The SMA 50 is still below the SMA 200, and the price now stays slightly above the former. Nevertheless, the price is becoming less determinant in its northward push. If the resistance at 85.00 is broken, the next target would be 85.50. On the other side, a new bearish bias would resume if the price fails at any of the levels mentioned.



EURAUD
Primary trend: Bearish
The outlook on this pair is closely similar to its EURNZD counterpart. A downmove was followed by a rally attempt. The price has been edging higher and higher in a context of a downtrend. In this scenario, I am looking for a pattern that would trigger a short-sell signal. The pattern is recognized watching a currency move north until it runs out of energy, stalls out, rolls over and then gravity takes its toll as it dives for the deck this is when an experienced trader is ready to pounce and look to short that market.


EURNZD
Primary trend: Bearish
The EUR is stronger than the NZD at the moment and I’ll prefer to trade accordingly. The past bearish effort was rejected at the level 1.5800 and the price has been rising since then. The SMA 50 is still below SMA 200, but it may be improbable for this to last very long. However, the ADX 20 is far below the level 25 – showing another trendless situation. -DI is precariously situated above +DI. Expect a great move soon, probably to the downside.


EURCAD
Primary trend: Bearish
The price going up in a bear market? It appears so. But looking at the daily chart of this pair, you would see that the upward move is like a trap. The most important thing right now is to find a way of going short in favor of the major trend. It could be so nice if one enters as soon as further bullish momentum is rejected. The bulls’ power is clearly limited.


AUDNZD
Primary trend: Bearish
This slow moving cross, which is in a notable correction, is currently hesitating before finding the next line of the least resistance. The SMA 50 is still slightly below the SMA 200, and the price stays bellow the former. The Stochastic 14,3,5 is heading towards the overbought region, while the RSI 14 is struggling to go beyond the level 50. The present scenario may be rendered invalid very soon. I would go short as soon as the Stochastic shows a sign of reversal in the overbought region. .


GBPCHF
Primary trend: Bullish
The primary trend remains bullish on this instrument, and the price is attempting to move higher. This is a broad outlook, as there may be sharp bearish pressures sometimes – only for the price to pick from those places. This kind of move may be significant before a new bullish wave arises (something that happens when buyers have gone too far). I am looking forward to a short-term counter-trend move. I would go short as from next week..  

Conclusion: A trading week invariably proffers certain speculative signals, but speculators ought to posses valid methods for opening and closing trades at the expiration of the speculation period whether profitable or unprofitable. You would do well to elect a technique that fits you the most and allow intrepidity and be unperturbed enough to stick to your clear-cut rule. In case a trader still anticipates gains to rain down, the realization of this may be nearer than imagined. What should you do?

This article is ended by the quotes of the week below:

“Taking a loss is merely playing for better position. One trades strictly for probable future results, not for what the market might do… You grow with each decision, yet each decision has a price.  For example, you must discard a choice, and you must commit… Remember that conditions are never perfect. You must allow yourself to fail. Allow for human limitations and wrong choices. Reserve compassion for yourself and your limitations.” - Linda Raschke

“We have to stand up for our beliefs because it's only by our thoughts that we set ourselves apart from the masses who are not achieving trading greatness… The time to learn new instruments is before the one you are trading has stopped co-operating. Develop your skills before you need to use them. Learning while calm is very different than learning while feeling forced or desperate. Don't wait until a crisis in your life to learn how to trade. The time to act is now.” - Louise Bedford

“Many experienced traders contend that the most important elements of trading success involve the psychology or mentality of the trader, which include money management and its close relationship to discipline and position sizing. Somewhere down the list is a strategy to enter the trade which is where many beginners focus their attention.” – Chris Manson
