The Anniversary

I have not updated the blog for a while, due to a number of reasons including that I have moved to the opposite side of the world… Since the bottom was reached one year ago the markets have rallied significantly until January 2010. Some people think this has been a Bear market rally and that [...]

Euro resistance

Early this month the Euro made a new high against the US Dollar. But the top had some significance to it, i.e. it the market had a rather significant reaction that was a great short opportunity. In this post I address how this could have been traded for a 150+ points profit.

Dow Jones sideways pattern

Since the major rally that we experience from the March 09 low the Dow Jones index has been trading in two sideways ranges. Yesterday (15 June 09) it traded sharply lower to the downside of the current trading range. Will the support hold?

The same level acted as support in August as well as late last year and early this year. In February it was sitting [...]

Euro trend turn

On 11 Sep 08 the Euro repeated a down range from late 04 to late 05. Ranges like to repeat themselves so this in itself is a good indication that the downtrend has turned. Further to the range repetition the low on 11 Sep 08 is exactly the same as the July 07 high (support/resistance [...]
