01 Feb 2012 Daily review by myfxpedia.com:
First day of the month and the Euro just keep marching on, just astonishing. Technically, the pair is way overbought and correction is overdue couple with that is the fundamentally the Euro Zone is screaming for lower Euro not higher if they seriously want to see a healthy recovery. At this current rate we would be a seller of the pair and not chasing the price in buying into this pair at current level. We will continue to accumulate in small lots sizes, we only need to be in with small lots size because of the higher it push the bigger the fall and this pair is also swap positive for going short.
With yesterday announcement the US unemployment claims came out slightly above expectation this put downward pressure on the dollar, in turn, trader pushing the Euro through 1.3600 barrier. Earlier today during Asian trading session we had the release of Australian PPI which came below expectation and China PMI also came below expectation and the news has put further downward pressure on the AUD. Now next Tuesday we will have Rate decisions for the Aussies and with the high AUD of late has came off the boil since last week we may assume the current prices has in part factor in of possible Rate cut for next week and if next Tuesday the RBA decided to keep rate on hold then we might see a retraced toward 1.0500 very quickly and if the global economy looking gleam then a Rate cut would further send the AUD lower. We will look out for next Tuesday on Rate decision.
During London open today we will have GBP manufacturing PMI which if below expectation will surely put further pressure on this oversold currency of late. So, we will now exit our GBPNZD for about 20 pips profit and will set for a pending Buy order at lower prices in case of a spike down on news. A spike down on news in an way oversold currency could as well prove an opportunity to pick up on cheaper entry.
Well, you all probably been tired of us keep warning you of the approaching correction in the financial market and frankly we still hold on to that view as a matter of fact, with this bullishness and overshoot Equity market we do smell a rat somewhere so no, we do not buy into this market bullish perception, not until we have a decent corrections. Some of you might ask what should we do and how do we approach the FX market once correction kicking in. Well, we will look to buy into USD, JPY, sell the risk currencies such as Euro, AUD, NZD and if we play with the Cross currencies we will look to buy into currency with higher GDP against country with smaller GDP.

Technical Analysis:
We end the month with a record pips collected for the month of January, although, we still holding on to pairs that we plan to trade with daily cycles. Even though, we are currently in about minus 700 pips but we have been through this path many times before and each time it happens we usually set a new record month. So, finger cross that February will be the month of another new record in the making.
USDCHF – yesterday it came down and retested the low that was set back on 2 January 2013 then bounced up, the situation now looks as though it has formed a double bottom with a Bullish Divergence on H4. Our stop is 15 pips below the last low. We just got to be mindful that today during NY session we are having a Non-Farm payroll announcement which normally moves the FX market. So, our stop stay @ 0.9060. Chart Below:
