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

By Vadim Pokhlebkin
8/22/2011 5:15:00 PM

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.

It's not the "bad news" from Europe that has been pushing the euro lower

By Vadim Pokhlebkin
5/17/2011 5:15:00 PM

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.

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.
