Consolidation in the Majors

Posted on October 16, 2008 at 13:05 in Analysis by James Chen

As of early Thursday morning in New York, recent price action on the majors has essentially been characterized by consolidation. Some traders and analysts have been looking for a continuation of the dollar strengthening trend. Others have been waiting for a substantial correction in this trend. With all of the commotion and confusion in the global financial markets, currencies seem to be in a state of flux, unsure as to the next direction. As the current consolidation matures, direction will once again come back into the market, most likely in a major way. Price on the dollar-based majors is coiling up like a spring, preparing to make a decisive push. Relevant price levels to watch are forthcoming.

UPDATE: As of early Friday in New York, the abovementioned consolidations appear to be continuing, some pairs having formed triangles. More support/resistance levels to watch are forthcoming.
