Social investment network

Just before I write about the currency pairs I will place a link to the social trading platform called eToro Social Investment Network; it is a platform where traders socialize about trading CFD.

At the moment is eToro giving away a 20 dollar coupon which can be used on their trading platform. The coupon is at this link .

EUR/USD and USD/CHF

The EUR/USD and the USD/CHF are often a mirror; the currency pairs move in the opposite direction. Is the EUR/USD bullish is the USD/CHF bearish and vice versa.

It is a rule which means that they can move in the same direction as well.

EUR/USD and EUR/GPB

The EUR/USD and EUR/GBP move most of the trading time in the same direction but could also move in reverse direction.

USD/CHF and USD/JPY

USD/CHF and USD/JYP are also currency pairs that often move in the same direction most of the trading time.    

It is a rule which means that they can move in the opposite direction as well.

An example:  How to use the information about the correlation between the currency pairs?

Watch the EUR/USD chart pattern; is the pattern bearish or bullish? Is the pattern bearish? Watch the USD/CHF chart or the USD/JPY chart for an entry in the market.
