An interesting week for the pounds to dollars pair which ended the forex trading session on the weekly chart as a narrow spread up candle but with deep wicks to the top and bottom. The high of the week ran into resistance from the 40 week moving average whilst the low of the week found [...]

As promised in Friday’s market analysis of the daily chart, I thought we would look at the weekly chart for the dollars to pounds pair, as this may provide a clue to the future direction for the pair in the medium term. As we can see, and certainly helped by the NFP data on Friday [...]

Little to add to last week’s candle chart for the pounds to dollars currency pair.  Last week’s candle provided a small hammer which finished well below all three moving averages but provides little in the way of direction for this week’s trading and only confirms that British Pound bears failed to break the 1.3500 level.

Last weeks candle saw an up bar to add to that of the previous week, which reached but failed to penetrate the key resistance level at 1.4800, although both the 9 week and 14 week averages were crossed. This is a very tough decision at the moment, and much will depend on the early part [...]

Last week saw a wide spread up bar on the pounds to dollars chart, which reversed the losses of the previous week, but provided little in the way of information for us as traders. The closing price on Friday failed to penetrate the 9 week moving average, and therefore based on the weekly analysis, the [...]
