EUR/USD

Despite the improvement today, market sentiment for the pair remains quite bearish. What we could potentially be seeing is the early stages of a consolidation or correction in the pair. Given that the pair spent most of the last week on the decline, it would not be surprising if it was the latter.
A look at the weekly chart would support this view with last week’s candle  a marabuzo  being very bearish. It’s worth noting that this can often be followed by a small move in the opposite direction despite it being so. The key test comes around the marabuzo line   the mid-point of the candle  as this holding is seen as being a bearish confirmation signal.
The first level of resistance for the pair comes around 1.0907, Friday’s high which also roughly coincides with 7 July lows. The rejection at this level on Friday could have been seen as confirmation of the ongoing sell-off, but the lack of momentum and failure to break through the 1.0820 support suggests otherwise.

 

Canadian dollars

Foreign investors sold a net 5.45 billion Canadian dollars ($4.22 billion) in Canadian securities in May, Statistics Canada said Thursday. Meanwhile, Canadians acquired a net C$5.58 billion in foreign securities, targeting foreign equities and U.S. debt instruments.
Ovearll, the transactions in May resulted in a net outflow of funds of C$11.03 billion from Canada.
The monthly international securities transaction report offers a gauge on foreign market sentiment toward the Canadian economy, and Canadian investors' take on global prospects. The outlook for Canada has dampened considerably on a pullback in commodity prices, and a failure by non-resource exports to pick up steam and offset a decline in the price of crude, the country's top export. The Bank of Canada cut its benchmark rate on Wednesday by 25 basis points to 0.50%, and downgraded its Canadian growth forecast for 2015 to 1.1% from its previous 1.9% call.

To be successful traders

Most of you may have read trading books that state that increasing volume is good for the continuation of the trend. While this is true, there becomes a point of saturation where the markets cannot sustain the trend and start to reverse. Think of what makes prices rise.  There has to be a buyer and a seller for every transaction. However when there are many buyers chasing a limited amount of supply due to a limited number of sellers, prices will rise as the buyers outbid each other to buy the shares. To be successful traders, you must look for the highest probability entries at demand and supply. Many times our trades will be confirmed immediately after we enter with large candles and professionals entering. We can help to time our exit at our target demand or supply when we see large candles signaling the amateurs’ entrance into the trend.

EU and IMF lenders

German Chancellor Angela Merkel urged Greece and its creditors on Friday to keep pushing for a cash-for-reforms deal after Brussels negotiations hit stalemate, as European leaders heaped pressure on Athens to give ground.
Time is fast running out for Greece to reach agreement with its EU and IMF lenders and avert a default at the end of June that could see it tumbling out of the euro zone. But talks ended without a breakthrough on Thursday night and the International Monetary Fundteam abruptly left Brussels.
Both sides tried to keep hope alive on Friday and a Greek minister said he hoped for an agreement on June 18. European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said the ball was in the Greek government’s court, while the Eurogroup chief demanded “serious proposals” for reforms.
Greece needs a deal to unlock aid or loosen curbs on how much it can borrow in short term debt before a 1.6 billion euro ($1.8 billion) IMF repayment due by the end of this month.“Where there’s a will there’s a way but the will has to come from all sides so it’s important that we keep speaking with each other,” Merkel told a conference in Berlin.Despite the warnings of imminent default, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is showing no signs of alarm.
