Summary
The USD is ending the day heavily mixed to start the week. Initially firmer in overnight Asia the Greenback gave back hard-won follow-on gains from European trade at previous S/R areas against most major pairs. Cable advanced on cross-spreading demand to post a high print in New York for the day at 1.9635 making the day an outside-range engulfing bar on the daily; a strong potential reversal signal from the two-month lows at 1.9441 earlier in the day. Although the trade was considered a strong signal the volumes were not impressive suggesting the rate will follow-through only modestly the next 24-36 hours. EURO rallied back to the potential sell-zone in the 1.5550 area for a high print at 1.5572 before dropping back a bit on the close. Traders note stops in range triggered on the rally over the 1.5450/60 area overnight; lows at 1.5365 went unchallenged in New York. Model account demand also seen suggesting that momentum traders are coming in on the buy side. Also active in USD/JPY, model forex traders likely had their stops too close to protect themselves against a reversal suggesting that the EURO and the Yen will whipsaw traders the next 24-36 hours. Look for a pullback in both pairs; EURO/JPY also active overnight suggesting the USD will remain under pressure against the Yen near-term. Highs in USD/JPY at 104.05 were offered rumored by semi-official names and the rate is off the highs to finish New York. For the most part, the Greenback had a solid two-way day against most of the majors and despite the two-way action is holding between established support and resistance. The GBP likely will follow-through to the upside a bit but sellers are expected to show at the 1.9680/1.9720 area. EURO has likely made the high for the week seeing as no real stops over the 1.5550 area were seen today and that is precisely where they would have been if shorts were active over the weekend; aggressive traders can look to ADD to open shorts in EURO at the 1.5550 area OB today and tomorrow. Looking ahead, expect technical trade to dominate ahead of WednesdayÂ’s CPI data; TuesdayÂ’s data likely no factor.

Comments
Bounce is developing nicely, rally over the 1.5400 handle significant. Rate holds opening range on the fall-back; solid sign of no sellers left. Rally back from dip under the 1.5400 on stops suggests more losses are coming but a corrective bounce is needed (which is developing now) Support at 1.5280 is firm near-term. Look for rotation higher to end about now—the next 24-36 hours. Rate clears close in stops again. Strong long-liquidation break is still coming; Watch for two-way volatility. Short-covering rally stalled where expected in the 1.5550/1.5600 area again; look to re-short in that area now.

Comments
Rally back from the Friday lows likely a Head-Fake; double –top has formed and a strong sell signal suggests a potential short is now confirmed at the 105.00/50 area again. Rate has broken trend line support. Traders note that the market continues to trade technically and expect stops to be run in both directions near-term; expect more volatility. Looking for the rate to briefly follow through higher for a short-covering rally through Tuesday but fall harder into mid week; likely in the 10460/80 area. Day traders may get a lot of opportunity as the rate will likely cover a lot of the same ground twice on the hourly time frame. Stops could be in size at the 102.50/80 area. Resistance at 104.80 area remains significant now and rallies should be sold.

Most trading
systems are based on historical formulas which have worked in the past.
However, what has happened before may or may not happen again. You can
lose all your money trading stocks, futures, and options and you must
decide your own suitability as to whether or not to trade. Only trade
with true risk capital you can afford to lose. Only trade markets you
can properly afford to trade. Properly funded trading accounts typically
perform better than those that are not. Never risk more than 2-3% of your
account on any one trade. Always define your risk before entering a trade
and place a stop to limit your risk.
There are
no guarantees or certainties in trading. Trading involves hard work, risk,
discipline and the ability to follow rules and trade through any tough
periods during a system’s draw downs. If you are looking for a guarantee,
trading is probably not for you. Most people lose money trading. One of
the reasons is that they lack discipline and are unable to be consistent.
A system can help you become consistent. Ironically, worrying about the
monetary aspect of trading can contribute to and cause a trader to make
trading errors. Therefore, it is important to only trade with true risk
capital.
