Looking at the Monthly charts, it was already evident that the long term trendline at around the 1.23000 level was rejected for the 4th time and in the process to conform the break to the further downside, this pair formed a H & S PATTERN evident on the weekly charts. However you might be asking why is the pair not trending down as its suppose to and instead...

In stark contrast to the Fed, the RBNZ is likely to strike a dovish tone in its March Statement, given recent disappointing activity data. Following the February MPS meeting, Assistant Governor and Chief Economist, John...
Hi guy's, in this week's video I mentioned the continuation higher in AUDUSD to fulfill at least the minimum requirements. This has been done and our original buy's have been succesful.

As this barrier is located slightly...

This is kinda hit and miss historically, I just did a quick statistics analysis to data release since end of 2013 and the missed forecast currently at 49%. Not very encouraging for a certain bet. The price action up until the announcement...
The USDCAD pair has been sideway after a quick drop and rebounce as 3 of the Fed members spoke dovishly. Today is gonna be a big day for CAD. Generally since Bank of Canada is expected to keep rate, the hint will be in the statement so we may see a bit more volatility back and forth during the announcement as people figuring out their next move. Looking forward...

Couple scenarios to consider here depending on the tone and remarks made by Yellen regarding monetary policy. Currently USD has been moving up but the move will only continue if Fed chair Yellen reinforces her comments made 2 weeks ago when they decided to raise rates again and stated they were still on track and serious about another rate hike in 2017 either in...
