… Taken from my Weekly Outlook Report February 22~26, 2010… After this analysis we saw perfect SELL entries on both EUR/USD close to 1.3700 and GBP/USD 1.5580 area… If you had a chance to read this report before the drop, you’d have been on the right side of the market.

Last week’s most notable news was probably the surprise rate hike by the Federal Reserve on its discount rate, from 0.50% to 0.75%, which raises the costs of borrowing from banks to other banks.

RBA(Reserve Bank of Australia) is expected to release its Meeting Minutes for the rate decision 2 weeks ago; and if you remember, it was a surprise to the currency market as a whole as RBA hiked it’s Cash Rate by 25 basis points, from 3.00% to 3.25%. As with most analysts, I didn’t expect RBA to hike rates until 2010, and I was genuinely surprised by this decision, and of course, market responded with a frenzied demand for AUD and pushed AUD/USD pair to new 2009 highs.

Fed. Chairman Bernanke is scheduled to testify in front of House Financial Services Committe in Washington DC on the semi-annual policy report. If Bernanke is hawkish in his tones over future economy outlook, then we should see risk appetite sentiment where USD should gain substantially against JPY; however, if the chairman’s tone were rather dovish, or expresses his concerns over the prolonged recession and contraction of the economy, then we will likely see risk aversion sentiment driving the market, where JPY should gain against USD.
