USD Daily Forex Analysis for Technical Traders

The USD ended the day weaker across the board but intraday volatility and whipsaw kept traders on their toes; most traders noting that large order to sell USD were moving through the markets and thin conditions exaggerated the moves.

Most desks report that stops and aggressive long-liquidation hit most pairs to drive prices lower across the board; USD/CAD took a major hit dropping over 400 points for a low print at 1.2124 before a bit of short-covering brought the rate back to the 1.2200 handle. Conditions were thin as expected and some traders report that firmer oil prices help support the Loonie and EURO today.

More lows overnight; but buyers show up. Hook reversal showing from the toolbox today suggests aggressive traders can buy the rate soon.

Rate possibly getting spillover effect from GBP. Overnight news shows inflation not as bad as expected also helping to lift the rate a bit. Support possibly from option trades; but those are cleared. Official interest noted traders say but rate continued to sell-off.

Rate is an absolute screaming buy in my view—I can't see further weakness being ignored by the buyers but conditions are not right I think; possibly overnight tonight into Wednesday.

Bounce off the lows yesterday and today leaves a healthy bid wick suggesting some upside coming soon but volatility is still high. Traders note liquidity is still thin.

Traders note quality bids on the dip suggesting a bottom is in here somewhere but buyers have been stepping up for 1000 points now; many likely sidelined.  Aggressive traders can buy anytime but expect more whippy action. Two-way action likely to continue.

USD Technical Analysis for Daily Forex Traders

The USD is two-way into the New York close as traders continue to fear global recession and potential intervention from our trading partners. Rumors that the BOJ was ready to sell Yen to stop the recent sharp rally against most major pairs helped the USD score gains against the Yen but the potential correction has likely run its course and sellers of the rate will return near-term once the US FOMC releases the latest interest rate policy tomorrow; traders feel that the recent volatility in the majors has likely run its course near term as volumes begin to show signs of improving.
