GBP/USD: Buffalo Bounce As Buyers Dig In

Thursday, Mar 14, 2013


Good Afternoon,

The fundamentals keep on keeping on. See weekly claims for a dose of supportive data.

Technically, we have the SPX just below that all time high print of 1575. The question now seems to be how far will it go through it before retracing? Speaking of retracements, I will talk about those in tonight's IBFX webinar.

Where will traders sell into the pound rally?

Thursday, Mar 14, 2013

The British pound has begun to correct its three-month old downtrend and it’s during the past three days that the talk of a pound reversal has found an audience. Do three sessions of higher highs justify reversal talk or is this simply an opportunity for the bears to pile back in?

Scuttlebutt: The Pound is going to turn around?

Tuesday, Mar 12, 2013

Within any trend - especially one as strong as the pound’s fall - there is a time that either the technical, price-based, or fundamental view starts to look like there may be a reversal or at very least a slowing of the trend. Pick your trend: greenback, euro, yen, or pound sterling all have had various reasons to reverse but not necessarily done so.

USD and SPX: Inter-Market Relationship FOUND!

Thursday, Mar 7, 2013

Good Afternoon,

I have been searching for the inter-market relationship and I found it. It was the OPPOSITE of what it had been in the past, but yet, so obvious!

First up though, the increasingly positive fundamental picture - see weekly claims today. And funny enough, you haven't heard a word about the unemployment report tomorrow as all the talk is about record highs in the DOW. As with all other "micro" economic data, I expect a downside surprise to do absolutely nothing and a good report/upside surprise to get SPX to the 1550 level.

GBP/USD: How Far Will It Retrace?

Tuesday, Mar 5, 2013


Good Afternoon,

All time highs. Was there ever a doubt? Remember, we still have the SPX (which is chock full) of companies that are savvy, lean and performing well just below its all time highs. So another 50 points in the SPX gets you another 300-500 points in the DJI, which is well over 14,500.
