Since February 22, EUR/USD (the euro-dollar exchange rate and most-traded forex pair) has rocketed almost 300 pips -- to close the week near $1.3840.
That's a move any forex trader would have loved to catch. But those who only looked at the mainstream forex news headlines on February 22 probably missed this rally. See:
- Euro zone teetering on brink of recession (Feb. 22, Reuters)
- FOREX-Euro ends flat vs dollar as Greek realities weigh (Feb. 22, Reuters)
- Euro, shares weaken as growth outlook darkens (Feb. 22, Reuters)
You had to be crazy to go long the EUR after reading that, right? Fortunately, you do have other options. For example, that same day, Elliott Wave International's forex-focused Currency Specialty Service sent this intraday update to subscribers:
