EUR/JPY regains 139.00 FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The weakness around the single currency is now taking a toll on the EUR/JPY, dragging it to weekly lows in sub-139.00 levels. EUR/JPY softer on B.Coeure’s comments The EUR is getting hammered following ECB’s B.Coeure’s comments regarding the European central bank would be considering negative deposit rates ‘very seriously’. The cross nose-dived 60+ pips soon after the news hit the wires, although the decline seems to have found support near 138.80. Earlier on, EMU’s Industrial Production figures came in short of estimates during December, albeit the EUR remained indifferent. EUR/JPY levels to watch At the moment the cross is losing 0.70% ay 139.01 with the next support at 138.45 (daily cloud base) followed by 138.17 (low Feb.7) and then 138.00 (psychological level). On the flip side, a break above 140.05 (21-d MA) would target 140.09 (high Feb.11) en route to 140.33 (low Jan.20).

Flash: Has the AUD bottomed? - Rabobank FXStreet (Guatemala) - Jane Foley, Senior Currency Strategist at Rabobank looked into AUD/USD, concerned about the Australian economy being vulnerable to negative shocks from China. Key Quotes: “The expectation of steady policy should help lend some support to AUD/USD going forward. The recent change in language from the RBA on the outlook for the AUD should also add support”. “Although the softer prices of commodities has weakened the country’s terms of trades, volumes of exports has recently surprised on the upside with iron ore shipments to China continuing at a record pace in December and unexpectedly lifting the trade balance to a surplus”. “On the back of recent developments we have revised up our 1 to 3 mth AUD/USD modestly and now expect a 0.89 to 0.91 range to hold most activity in this period”. “That said, the Australia’s economy is still vulnerable to negative shocks from China and based on our concerns for Chinese growth we are maintaining are 12 mth AUD/USD forecast at 0.86”.

USD/JPY back on the bid on Yellen FXStreet (Guatemala) - USD/JPY has seen a series of spikes of late only to be sent right back to where the pair came from in the same moments. In this event, the pair is volatile around Yellen. USD/JPY, on this occasion, flew from 102.28 to reach a high of 102.69 on the five minute chart but met fierce supply there which took the pair on course to the 102 handle within the following hour. Yellen released her Semiannual Monetary Policy Report to the Congress was published. The new Fed Chair Janet Yellen said in her first semi-annual testimony on monetary policy and the economic outlook to the US Congress that the situation on the labor market had improved but that the economic recovery still had a long way to go, sending the market mixed signals. She has been speaking and that has lifted the pair again. USD/JPY Levels The 20 DMA is 102.96, the 50 DMA is 103.47 and the 200 DMA is 100.13. RSI (14) reads 49.51.

GBP/USD slightly bid; Yellen takes the seat FXStreet (Guatemala) - GBP/USD spiked up to 1.6473 the high before meeting conservative supply on the way back to the mid point of the handle. Yellen’s Semiannual Monetary Policy Report to the Congress was published and now she speaks. The new Fed Chair Janet Yellen said in her first semi-annual testimony on monetary policy and the economic outlook to the US Congress that the situation on the labor market had improved but that the economic recovery still had a long way to go, sending the market mixed signals. Yellen speech insight: Steve Ruffley, chief market strategist at InterTrader. Explained that “Yellen will not be able to make any real sweeping statements or flick a switch to fix the fragile state of the US economy. The US economy is like a huge container vessel travelling at speed, set on its course by Captain Bernanke. He has left in the only life raft available and is sipping cocktails in the Soggy Dollar bar with one eye on the horizon. Yellen however, being the new captain, has the unenviable task of deciding what comes next. You can’t just stop QE or ‘drop anchor’ completely at this speed, nor can you just set a totally new course. Yellen in real terms has very little room for manoeuvre metaphorically or economically. What the most concerning part of all is is that she knows it, I know it and so does everyone else in the market. This means that rife speculation and volatility has once again entered the markets. Although Bernake did the best he could under testing conditions, he was less than decisive with his message to the markets on forward guidance (likely under the knowledge that he was due to step down.) Yellen now has to be clear on forward guidance and let the market know in no uncertain terms when QE will end. Only after the FED move on rates will the bond and stock markets be able to efficiently able to price this in, and once again return to trading in ‘normal’ conditions.” GBP/USD Levels The 20 DMA is 1.6445, the 50 DMA is 1.6419 and the 200 DMA is 1.5844. RSI (14) reads 59.73. Supports are ascending from 1.6295, 1.6325, 1.6348, 1.6384, 1.6420. Spot is 1.6455 and resistances are 1.6460, 1.6471 and1.6500.

Flash: The lack of faith in EUR/USD keeps fueling it - FXStreet FXStreet (Barcelona) - Goncalo Moreira CMT, FXStreet Technical Analyst notes that weak shorts were forced to cover with poor US employment figures coming out on Friday, thwarting any near-term attempt to get EUR/USD below 1.35 on a sustained basis. Key Quotes “As every week, we asked our dedicated contributors for their views on the FX market and the polled results reflect an increasing bullish mood in the short-term prognosis the highest number in eight weeks. Bears show the opposite behavior and reached the lower level in eight weeks as well. Both are coincident at 45% of the poll.” “As far as the one-month view concerns, it's the bearish mood which dominates 80% of the poll participants, and in the larger three-month horizon a less vibrant curve shows bearishness oscillating in the 60-70% range since November. In the most recent survey, only 20% of the participants has a positive euro outlook in this time horizon with all central tendency measures printing around 1.3300.” OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Feb 10, 2014 OctaFX.Com News Updates -

Flash: GBP could suffer ahead of BoE's QIR - Investec FXStreet (Barcelona) - Jonathan Pryor, Corporate Treasury Analyst at Investec, observed that the BoE's Quarterly Inflation Report due on Wednesday will be crucial for the GBP. Key Quotes "In the aftermath of Friday's weaker US jobs data we saw US dollar selling across the board before some bounce back - notably in USDJPY, quickly reclaiming a 102 handle after trying twice below 101.50. EURUSD steadied in the low 1.36s and GBPUSD has well and truly bounced from the 1.6260 support to reclaim a birth at 1.64 and open up for a retest higher - that support level is now even more important for the pair and when we break below it will likely see considerable momentum, which could drag GBPUSD close to 1.6000." "A potential catalyst for a GBPUSD move lower this week is the Bank of England Quarterly Inflation Report on Wednesday. Many economists expect Governor Mark Carney to change the current forward guidance rhetoric and potentially lower the knockout criteria for a review on policy, since the UK unemployment rate has fallen more sharply than expected."

Flash: USD/CAD is holding in a range – TD Securities FXStreet (Guatemala) - Strategists at TD Securities noted the price action around the USD/CAD. Key Quotes: “On the one hand, USD dips to noted technical support just below 1.1050 continues to draw out bargain hunters. On the other, the USD really can’t hold a bid above 1.11 for the moment”. “The overall undertone here remains consolidative but we are not—yet—convinced that USD/CAD has established a firm base from which the broader uptrend can start to advance again. On the data front today, we are looking for mixed data for the CAD—weaker trade which would be a negative, considering the BoC’s focus on Canada’s lost competitiveness, but better Ivey PMI data (a volatile series but the market may pay attention to a strong rebound from the prior month’s drop back under 50”). “Technically, we still think the short-term bias is lower—a break under 1.1042 should confirm—for a drop back to the high 1.09s. Resistance is 1.1125 (above here targets 1.12 again)”. OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Feb 06, 2014 OctaFX.Com News Updates -

OctaFX.com - King of the Road Top Ten Success Stories! As every award has reached its winner, we would like you to hear direct voices of every TopTenner, talking about the experience of OctaFX King of the Road real account contest. With no delay, let the winners speak for themselves: 1st place: pedagangteguh Indonesia "I wouldn’t dare to claim a victory first, being among 6500 contestants. Still with Allah help I succeeded and I can say that time I’ve spent competing was fascinating. I dedicated my trading to EUR/USD mostly, giving my full attention to real time charts and indicators, also reading some related news - NonFarm payrolls, CPIs. I traded following the trend: using this strategy, it’s crucial not to panic and remain confident. By the end of the contest my progress was so impressive I couldn’t believe my own eyes - I was not a relaxed trader though - I kept trading my own way till the end, not giving emotions a way to reign over me. I can say that I consider this victory one of my lifetime achievements. I learned to stick to my plan and be determined and I can advise you not to be discouraged by mistakes but to apply all your knowledge and talent to make your trading profitable." Royfaizal Bin Razali Chong, 2nd runner, from Malaysia: "It’s unbelievable. I feel so excited and it’s like a dream to be the 2nd in the competition! When I joined the contest, I only took it as fun. Because I'm still a newbie in this forex industry. In terms of experiences, I perceived most of the contestants to be better than me. That’s why, I didn't expect any excellent results from the contest. I like to compete with myself. A desire to be a no.1 really kept me motivated to carry on. At the beginning, I only spent a bit of time in my account. However, after my account made it to the top 10, I have put all my time in it, especially few days before the contest's end. I was using a strategy which known as BBMA. Two indicators of Bollinger Band and Moving Average, respectively. My daily life is helping me to become more disciplined in my trading. Now, trading is like a job for me instead of a hobby. I have been almost 2 years in the forex trading. I have learned my basic forex trading from babypips. The key factor to success is the forex strategy itself. Most of the traders keep looking for the profitable strategy. But do they really believe the strategy can generate profitable income for them? My advice for them is to come up with own forex strategy and follow it thoroughly before asking any profits from the forex strategy itself. Your contest was a good platform for the traders to compete with each other, so I’ll recommend traders to participate in the next one 100% absolutely." Trader from Poland, Krzysztof Goc occupies 3rd place: "That’s a great feeling to be so highly ranked, the prospect of winning a prize was for me the best motivation. Though trading is both work and hobby for me. I love doing it. I am in the market for four years. During this time I learned different things. Above all, respect for the earned money because sometimes it is easy to earn but even easier to lose. But that's not all, I'm still learning and I'm trying to grow as a trader. Contest consumed a lot of my time: I had a lot of trial and did not worry about failure. The victory was the only important thing. Competitions Strategy I used can be described as: catch the hole/peak and use aggressive pyramidal positions. Competition is a different world. The competition is traded otherwise than on a daily basis. I have a policy in daily trade - to reduce the risk of losses. In the competition you don’t care about insignificant loses compared to what is at stake. The key to success is consistency and clearly outlined target. I took part in different competitions but this one was special to me. I changed my approach to forex, discovered new trading opportunities. I am very happy that I could take part in this competition." 4th place – Indonesian Trader Likartono: "I was surprised and am very happy to be a Top 10 King of The Road Real account contest from OctaFX. Currently, trading is my additional job. However, when possible, trading will be my main job. Though, until now, I still do not have good technique. I have not encountered any spectacular trades. It can be seen from my accounts affected by Margin Call. When I started my trading, I never imagined I would gain extraordinary results. During this contest," 5th place on the list: Satria Agung Wibowo from Indonesia "It’s unbelievable. I’m so happy. I can survive on big 10 with some good traders that joined & participated in this event. Trading is like hobby for me. I can get more money beside my primary job as a constructor. The contest trades took around 2-4 hour a day. I try to focus on my trading technique. I trust this technique. Even though I didn’t get the best place. I’am using breakout candle technique on London Open market. Most losses I got were on Sept 2013. I would advise traders to focus & discipline on trading technique you have." 6th: Jordan’s trader Motie Hayajneh "I feel very happy to be in the top 10 list. Forex trading for me is an extra-income source. I started trading forex 6 years ago. I learned to be disciplined. And when I saw the contest, I decided to be in the top10 list. Contest took few of my time, but I was always monitoring the rankings page. My most spectacular trade was on gold with a strategy based on technical analysis. A profitable advice to OctaFX traders is to let the profits run and to stop the losses as soon as possible." 7th place: winbasa Indonesia 8th position – Mahbubur Rahman Bangladesh: "I am Mahbubur Rahman and I feel so lucky to win a prize in a live contest.

Forex is my night job – I use the RSI and news at forex factory to trade. It took me 2 years to get a system with many losses, and now I get more profit, I have learnt that if I’m not patient, I get loss and loss.
