Bears and bulls are playing EURUSD

EUR/USD

The euro is trying to catch up with the growth of other currencies against the dollar, but all this looks funny or even dangerous for those who stake on growth of the single currency. Yesterday EURUSD managed to rise from the daily low of 1.3150 and hit the high at 1.3217. As a result, the movement made less than 70pips and by now half of this growth has already been recouped as trading is again below 1.3200. Actually, there wasn’t any particular reason for growth and the market players mainly ignored the news as the published stats represented a clear signal more…

EUR: sucked down in the bog

EUR/USD

The single currency is sinking deeper and deeper in the bog. It is remarkable how systematically and gradually the pair is being pushed down. Apparently, capital movement is going on at the level of structural changes in the plans of investors. It means that inside the market behind such little movement of rates stands really big money. And this money wants to sell the euro rather than affect the currency rate. The single currency still has to deal with one important level, that is 200-day MA, which is now at 1.3140. The market touched this level, but quickly bounced off it. more…

Impudent bulls and bears

EUR/USD

Yesterday bulls and bears were again measuring their strength against each other, trying to budge EURUSD. Either the parties were equally strong or they were not willing to continue the fight, but after a steep drop the pair in a while returned to the previous levels. Impertinence of bears showed itself when they intensified their pressure on the euro right after the release of relatively good news from Germany. The Ifo statistics indicated growth of the Business Climate Index to the highest level over the last 16 months and, therefore, exceeded expectations. In August the index has risen to 107.5 against more…

Fierce fight of bulls and bears

EUR/USD

Yesterday was marked by an interesting fight between bulls and bears. The dollar has a good chance to grow due to the coming stimulus rollback by the Fed. At the same time, the single currency is also getting some good news. The preliminary PMI rates for the largest countries of the eurozone proved to surpass the expectations and grew against last month’s rate. Manufacturing PMI for the whole eurozone hit 51.3, but the biggest contribution was made by improvement in Germany, where that index rose from 50.7 to 52.0. However, these rates (exceeding expectations, by the way) failed to prevent the more…

EUR got stuck in the corridor

EUR/USD

In the absence of any significant news trading in the markets is usually nervous and technical levels of support and resistance become particularly important for traders. Since neither Europe nor the USA didn’t publish any important statistics yesterday and are not going to release any today, the market, being left to itself, is drifting in the corridor of 1.3300-1.3370. This range can’t be called very narrow, but note that since the end of Thursday the market has jerked to its bounds and stayed there for a while, preferring to return to the area between 1.3325 and 1.3355. As there are no more…
