EUR/USD Grows Positive Income/Spending Data

Friday, August 28th, 2009

EUR/USD rose today at a relatively slow pace after posting its biggest daily gain since August 3 yesterday. The rather good personal income/spending data that came out in U.S. today helped the traders to decide in favor of more risky and yielding assets, including the euro. EUR/USD is now trading…

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

After a last weekend free of any chart patterns from me, you get two today. Both patterns are quite nice: GBP/JPY offers a good bullish opportunity with already a good entry point without even waiting for a breakout, USD/CAD is in a classical falling wedge, but the breakout is…
