Since it's directly linked to currency demand, I've put up the following three Forex charts. The first is a Weekly chart of GBP/USD. The British Pound has been dropping against the U.S. $ since November 2007. It's currently trading in the lower one-third of the Fibonacci retracement...below resistance at 1.58 and above support at 1.54...below both the 50 and 200 smas...and below the 5-Year TPO Profile POC (red horizontal line), which is roughly in line with the 200 sma.
The second is a Weekly chart of EUR/GBP. The Euro has been dropping against the Pound since December 2008. It's currently trading in the middle one-third of the Fibonacci retracement (taken during the same time period as the first chart)...below resistance at 0.86 and above support at 0.83...below both the 50 and 200 smas...and below the 5-Year TPO Profile POC, which is just above the 50 sma.
The third is a Weekly chart of EUR/USD. the Euro has been dropping against the U.S. $ since July 2008. It's currently trading in the lower one-third of the Fibonacci retracement...immediately below trendline resistance at 1.306ish and above support at 1.3...below both the 50 and 200 smas...and below the 5-Year TPO Profile POC.
Since the flow began out of the Pound and into the U.S. $ during 2008, the Pound has firmed in the lower one-third zone and is attempting to hold above major support. Since 2009, the Euro has been dropping against the Pound and is attempting to hold above major support. Since July 2008, the Euro has been dropping against the U.S. $ and is attempting to hold above major support. It would appear that currency wars will now begin in earnest...with the U.S. $ as the potential victor, overall, for the next year, or so...ones I'll be watching, as mentioned in my previous post on December 14th: http://strawberryblondesmarketsummary.blogspot.com/2011/12/us-vs-british-pound-sterling.html
