More often than not, simply using a daily high or low as an indicator can be the most effective form of technical analysis. Even non-technicians are well aware of this simplest form of technical analysis and use these levels in their day to day trading.
EURO/DOLLAR DAILY
The key level to watch over the coming session in the FX market is undoubtedly the 1.2515 (1.2513 exact) low set back on February 18 in Eur/Usd. The level represents a recent trend low, the low for 2009, and the lowest point since November 21, 2008. As such, we would expect to see some major stops built up below the latter with a break of this level to more likely than not expose a direct retest of another more important low at 1.2330, the October 28, 2008 multi-year low.
