But until then, let's apply some of Peter Brandt's lessons to forex trading...

As the European debt crisis rages on and the U.S. is dealing with high unemployment, there is an OBJECTIVE way to know which currency has higher odds of winning -- the dollar or euro

So far this month, the euro has lost almost 900 pips to the U.S. dollar, pushing the EUR/USD forex pair from near $1.44 down into the $1.35 range. That's a huge, fast move, one that every forex trader hopes to catch. How many caught this one? Hard to say, but...

Euro vs. Dollar: Sideways, But for How Long?
"Triangles appear to reflect a balance of forces" -- Frost & Prechter's Elliott Wave Principle

Every time a new wave of the financial crisis thunders over us, it restarts the debate about which of the world currencies is "the safest." Right now is no exception. So far the Swiss franc has emerged as a clear leader, after making new all-time highs against both the euro and U.S. dollar. Even so, the euro and the buck have locked horns as rivals for a while, and thus far neither one is giving up its turf.

Now that the U.S. dollar is trading at an all-time low against the Swiss franc, discussions of the Swiss franc's "safe haven" appeal are commonplace. But could you have seen the USD/CHF trading as low as it is today before the news? If you know Elliott wave analysis -- yes. Here's how.

On July 11, for anyone not familiar with Elliott wave analysis, there was no reason to think that a drop to new record low was about to begin in the USD/CHF.

On June 13, Standard & Poor’s lowered its credit rating for Greek debt -- again. Given this background, everyone wants to know, "What's next for the euro?" But while it may tickle the brain to look for answers in the "fundamentals," they can get you "stuck" when it comes to anticipating the trend. Here's why...

When the financial crisis hit hard in the fall of 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank made the now-infamous decision to refuse to bail out the Wall Street giant, Lehman Brothers. Today, the eurozone authorities are losing patience with Greece.

The U.S. dollar has gained 9 full cents on the euro in less than two weeks. That's a huge move, and people want explanations. And what the media offers boils down to "risk aversion," in light of "the bad news from Greece." And that sounds good -- until you check the timeline.

My method is a form of technical analysis based on the Elliott Wave Principle, which Ralph N. Elliott worked out via hundreds of hand-drawn charts, well before the dawn of charting software..."

The U.S. dollar fell on June 13 and 14. But around noon on Monday, the EUR/USD reversed from its intraday high and gave back about half the gains. From an Elliott wave perspective, what stood out about the dollar decline was its corrective structure.
