Careful observers of the forex market will remember that over the past few years, whenever the U.S. dollar would fall to a significant low against the euro and other competitor currencies, the chorus of dollar doomsayers would get louder. And then, as if by magic, the dollar would rebound, to the surprise of the skeptics. Except, there is nothing magical about it -- this free video explains more.

Elliott Wave International presents Part I of the interview with its senior currency strategist, Jim Martens. -- "First of all, currency markets are much larger than equity markets.

Two weeks ago on Halloween night, while little kids were getting spooked by scary costumes, many of their parents were terrified by the prospects of the U.S. dollar sinking further against the world's leading currencies. Against the Japanese yen, on October 31, 2010, the greenback struggled to stay above the lowest level since World War II.

Bank of Japan's previous attempt to stem the yen's rise came on September 15. (We wrote about that.) As the chart shows, the USD/JPY steamrolled right over that intervention attempt. And the October 5 interest rate decision hasn't bucked the trend, either.

Central banks interventions in currency markets are always a major forex event. Of course, you never know just when a bank may step in. But with the right forecasting tools, you don't necessarily have to know. The series of forecasts you see here are all bullish on the U.S. dollar and bearish the Japanese yen. And, EWI's Currency Specialty Service posted them hours before Japanese intervention...

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. The editor of EWI's Currency Specialty Service Jim Martens picked up on that in a Monday morning intraday update...

The hot topic: the yen's sudden winning streak to one-week highs against the U.S. note. According to the usual sources, one main factor has flipped the yen's bearish switch: A falling stock market -- namely, Japan's Nikkei index.The problem is, there's no consistent inverse correlation between the Yen and stocks over time.

The New Carry Trade
How long the new "carry trade" funded by low U.S. interest rates may last?
By Jason Farkas
10/12/2009 4:45:00 PM
As the recession has taken hold, short-term U.S. interest rates have been pushed down to .25% or lower. This encourages those who want to borrow to do so in U.S. dollars, which is exactly how the low Japanese interest rates of the past boom cycle encouraged borrowing in yen. But markets can move fast when they head down, and when a carry trade unwinds, few things move faster.
