Risk-averse traders have been hedging their long EURUSD exposure since the Greek debt crisis emerged. So it’s not surprising that EURUSD put options have become increasingly more expensive than call options. Indeed, EURUSD put options are 1.5 percent...
I have been waiting for further NZDUSD weakness but the pair has remained above 0.6800 which is the level I am targeting for entering a short position. The pair continues to trade along the 200-Day SMA at 0.6942 which is a major technical level and a...
One of the few cross currencies that are so stretched at present and with the daily RSI well below 30, we like the idea of looking to build a long position a little lower down. The market is now at its lowest levels since 2008 and is fast approaching...

I initially sold GBPUSD at 1.5765. Prices are now pushing through near-term support at the bottom of a falling channel established from the swing high in mid-November having re-tested major support-turned-resistance at the 1.58 figure and I will remain...
A few weeks back I raised my stop on my short EURUSD position to account for any bullish sentiment that may occur from the prospect of a Greece bailout which proved wise as the pair would retrace its gains and decline an additional 150 pips. A failed...
