Welcome to the FXCM/DailyFX analyst thread!

In this thread, I will regularly post analysis and trading signals from the DailyFX Analysts, DailyFX PLUS Trading Signals, and any other news and analysis I may find interesting which applies to forex trading. I may even contribute my own humble trading analysis from time to time when I find something interesting.

Any commentary or trading ideas you have is also welcome, and I look forward to discussing the market with everyone. Please note that the FXCM/DailyFX risk warning applies to any opinions, news, research, analyses, prices or other information in this thread.

Cheers,

Jason :)
 
Dollar Likely to Lose versus Euro, NZD. Watch Gold Prices and AUD

According to the Weekly Speculative Sentiment Index (SSI) Report, the US Dollar may have set an important high versus the Euro and New Zealand Dollar, but watch the price of gold and the Australian Dollar for further USD-buying opportunities.

SSI Snapshots - EUR/USD

According to the latest readings from our Speculative Sentiment Index (SSI), the ratio of long to short positions in the EUR/USD stands at -1.68. That means there are 1.68 short positions among FXCM's retail client base for each long position.

In other words, only 37% of traders are long, while 63% are short. We use our SSI as a contrarian indicator to price action, and the fact that the majority of traders are short gives signal that the EUR/USD may continue higher.

Dollar Forecast Improves, SSI Shows it May Rally Across the Board

The US Dollar has held key support levels versus the Euro, Sterling, and Japanese Yen. David Rodriguez's weekly summary of forex trader sentiment (SSI) and changes in position shows why it might continue higher against most major FX counterparts with the exception of the Euro.

Retail FX crowds remain steadily long the Australian Dollar versus its US namesake with the Speculative Sentiment Index (SSI) showing there are over 3 long positions for every short position. A contrarian view of ‘herd’ sentiment leaves us with a similarly steady bearish trading bias.

AUD/USD currently trades just above key support at $0.7250, and further breakdown offers little in the way of concrete support until the psychologically significant $0.7000 level.

USD/CAD Posts 3rd Highest Volume Day in 2015 As Oil Plunges

From a pure volume perspective, high volume days that occur when the trend advances helps to validate the larger trend. This activity shows that market participants do not want to miss out on the move and would rather buy now before being forced to buy at worse prices later.

On the chart above, you can see volume has risen as the trend matures and last week’s move through the 2009 high aligned with the third highest volume day for 2015 further validating the probability of trend continuation.
