Weekend Technical Analysis July 4th 2009 – Forex

This was one crazy week in all markets. To recap Monday morning we had ramp job in Crude due to a Short Squeeze. Apparently a “Rouge Trader” was short 9000 QM Futures contracts lol. It was an obvious short squeeze because at the time crude was ripping, currencies were just sitting there with absolutely zero volume and liquidity. Here is what to look forward to next week.

  EUR/USD made a major push this week and broke through 1.50 but was unable to close above there. Main support is still 1.4850 area for now but a daily close above 1.50 should bring euro bulls to the table. GBP/USD made a huge move which looked to me to be profit taking and/or [...]
