USD/CHF Continuing to Drop

I will start my analysis for this pair today with the weekly chart.  Price fibbed recently just shy of the 50.0 and now is coming into contact with the 13 and 21 emas and I would like to point out that the 13 is crossing above the 21. 

It will still take some time for price to touch these emas since we are talking about the weekly chart at this time but I will expect a reaction when it does.  Meanwhile, the 5 ema is just above price rolling down and I can see that soon price will get crunched in between these emas. 

Moving on to the daily chart I can see that just yesterday we touched the 55 ema and made a bounce but now we are heading back down a bit.  Price is riding the 5 ema down meanwhile.  The 55 and 144 emas are overlapped with each other at this moment and the lower Bollinger band is also in that zone, however, the lower Bollinger band is open and pointing down. 

On the 4 hour chart as well as the monthly pivot chart price is riding down the 13 ema with the 21 ema stepping in as needed.  Price just recently broke below the S2 pivot at 0.8815 and fell to the M0 at 0.8764 and has bounced and up against the 5 ema.  I expect to see price drop further. 

On to the hourly chart also the weekly pivot chart price is below the M2 at 0.8808 and we have had some ema crossovers to the downside and price is now riding below the 5 ema.  I also want to note that the lower Bollinger band is pointing up but we have a ways to go before we get to that area. 

Finally, on the 15 minute chart also the daily pivot chart price has broken below the central pivot point at 0.8798 and has retested it and is dropping further.  The next pivot level below is the M2 at 0.8768 and the stochastic is in the trade zone and price is coasting below the emas so I maintain my bearish bias on this pair. 

At the time I am writing this analysis this pair was in the midst of a reverse fib to the upside at the 38.2 level and this could force price back up to the daily central pivot before it continues to drop further.

IG Index Reduces Spreads On Forex Pairs

IG Index have brought good news to a lot of forex traders this week with the announcement that they are cutting spreads on many different currency pairs once more. They were already really competitive, but now you will be hard pushed to find a spread betting firm or forex broker that offers tighter spreads.

For example the dealing spreads for the EUR/USD and USD/JPY pairs start at 0.8 pips, whilst the spread for the GBP/USD and EUR/GBP pairs start at 1 pip. This is a big improvement because Ive used IG Index to trade these pairs with a spread of 2 or 3 pips in the past.

The only downside is that these low spreads are not fixed at this level all the time.

Dutch Come Out in Support of ECB as Lender of Last Resort

Currencies continued with their downward trajectory against the US Dollar into the final day of the week, and it appears that many of the major currencies are now fated to retest their key October lows against the Greenback. The latest bout of risk liquidation has been brought on by a number of factors including Germany Merkel’s ruling out prospects for jointly issued Eurobonds and her firm opposition to the idea of the ECB being a lender of last resort, along with Fitch’s downgrade of Portugal to junk status. Throw in some dovish comments from BOE Miles in reaction to the global slowdown and the Eurozone crisis, and some concerning comments relating to the Japanese economy, and the overall picture is not looking good for risk.
