For six weeks now, the euro-dollar exchange rate, known to forex traders as the EUR/USD, has gone nowhere. The dollar has gained big since late November, but while we've seen some big ups and downs lately, they made almost zero net progress: Today, the rate stands near $1.3650, where it was in early February. What's next?

Elliott Wave International presents Part II of the interview with its Senior Currency Strategist Jim Martens. -- Vadim Pokhlebkin: I've seen online ads that say, "Trading forex is easy." Do you think it's easy? -- Jim Martens: Well, I’d go back to the question you asked me in Part I of this interview. Easy? No. Easi-er than equities? Yes. In forex, there are fewer markets, so fewer choices and less news to be concerned with -- so, fewer surprises. We just want to find the one currency that looks the strongest against others and one that looks the weakest. Found them -- now pair them together. Sounds easy, but keep in mind that...

Elliott Wave International presents Part I of the interview with its Senior Currency Strategist, Jim Martens. Vadim Pokhlebkin: Jim, readers often tell us that they want to make money trading the markets. There are lots of options out there. Can you tell me why I'd want to look at forex and not, say, the more "traditional" stock trading? -- Jim Martens: First, currency markets are much larger than equity markets...

Over the past week, the U.S. dollar has squashed all rumors of its demise like a bug on the windshield of a speeding semi. Last check, the greenback stands at its highest level in nearly nine months. As for what's causing the currency's new lease on life -- well, that depends on who you ask. In the eyes of the mainstream experts, the U.S. dollar is rallying on the wings of a hawk named the Federal Reserve.

Currency traders: How often have you woken up, read the news, put on a trade -- only to see it go the “other way”? A recent example was the debt problem in Greece. Trading off of that was like trying to catch a greased pig.

On November 26, 2009, the U.S. dollar did "the impossible": It stopped falling, reversed, and staged a strong rally -- to the complete surprise of the mainstream financial world. At the time, making a bullish call on the USD was all but laughable, to most investors -- yet EWI's Senior Currency Strategist Jim Martens did it anyway. Watch this free video clip to find out why.

It's the comeback story seen the world over, and no, I'm not talking about the New Orleans Saints winning the Super Bowl. I'm talking about the long-time currency underdog -- the U.S. dollar -- overcoming the mainstream odds to pull off a surprising rally to seven-month highs.

On January 27, the EUR/USD (exchange rate between the euro and U.S. dollar and the most widely trade forex pair) slipped below $1.40 for the first time in six months. In other words, the dollar, considered by most analysts all but doomed a short while ago, now stands at a 6-month high against its main competitor. Ironic? Paradoxical? You bet. Here's more on that from Robert Prechter.

In this classic 5-minute video, the editor of Elliott Wave International's Currency Specialty Service Jim Martens tells you about so-called flat corrections -- a common Elliott wave pattern that sometimes comes "with a twist," as Jim explains using charts of the U.S. Dollar Index and the GBP/USD (cable).

What moves currency markets? "The news" is how most forex traders would undoubtedly answer. Economic, political, you name it -- events around the world are almost universally believed to shape trends in currencies. Today's (Jan. 14) new story, for example, is high up on the roster of events that supposedly have a major impact on the euro-dollar exchange rate. But let's take a closer look at it.

Just one short month ago, the financial powers-that-be were reading the greenback its last rites and directing the currency to go gently into that good night. From March to November, the U.S. dollar had plunged 20%, its steepest eight-month selloff in 23 years, and stood at a near two-year low against the euro...

Wave structure is the very basis of Elliott wave analysis. To an Elliottician, every seemingly "random" wiggle on a market chart fits into an Elliott wave pattern. The 13 known patterns are divided into two broad groups: impulsive and corrective. Simple enough, right? Now let's look at the recent action in the EUR/USD, the most widely-traded forex pair, as an example of how you can put this information to practical use in currencies.

There’s one wave in the Elliott wave sequence that you as a forex trader don't want to miss: the third wave. We've recently witnessed a real-life third wave in the U.S. Dollar Index, which measures the strength of the dollar against a basket of six foreign currencies -- take a look at this chart.

Long since thought of as "the rotting corpse" of the currency markets, the U.S. dollar reawakened to new life this week by rallying to its highest level in more than a month. For many -- namely those affiliated with the financial mainstream -- the dollar's revival came as a huge surprise.

The Elliott Wave Principle is a detailed description of how financial markets behave. The description reveals that mass psychology swings from pessimism to optimism and back in a natural sequence, creating specific Elliott wave patterns in price movements. Each pattern has implications regarding the position of the market within its overall progression, past, present and future. The purpose of Elliott Wave International’s market-oriented publications is to outline the progress of markets in terms of the Wave Principle and to educate interested parties in the successful application of the Wave Principle. While a course of conduct regarding investments can be formulated from such application of the Wave Principle, at no time will Elliott Wave International make specific recommendations for any specific person, and at no time may a reader, caller or viewer be justified in inferring that any such advice is intended. Investing carries risk of losses, and trading futures or options is especially risky because these instruments are highly leveraged, and traders can lose more than their initial margin funds. Information provided by Elliott Wave International is expressed in good faith, but it is not guaranteed. The market service that never makes mistakes does not exist. Long-term success trading or investing in the markets demands recognition of the fact that error and uncertainty are part of any effort to assess future probabilities. Please ask your broker or your advisor to explain all risks to you before making any trading and investing decisions.
