Amazingly, Fibonacci is the nickname of Leonardo Pisano, the renowned Italian theorist of numbers. Though he is one of the pioneering mathematicians, his discovery has tremendously boosted the forex trading by letting the forex traders made enormous amount of profit through the assistance of its technique.
He was the prominent member of the Bonacci family in the 13th century and one of the greatest mathematicians of the Middle Ages. At the same time, Bigollo was another most used name by Fibonacci, which literally means good-for-nothing or a traveler. Later, this pioneer played a pivotal role in conferring significant contributions in the field of mathematics and eventually reviving its prominence.
Fibonacci's father Guglielmo Bonacci was a custom officer in Bejai, an Algerian town. Before Fibonacci travelled to Mediterranean coast but his earlier education was mostly North African type. During his interaction with innumerable merchants, he later discovered different arithmetic logics and the benefits of Hindu Arabic system. This system in the course of time proved to be very valuable and replaced the Roman numeral system.
The Fibonacci numbers
The Fibonacci number series includes the consecutive addition of first two numbers to give the third one. For example, 0+1=1, 1+1=2, 2+1=3 and so on. So the Fibonacci numbers are 0, 1,2,3,5,8,13, 21, and 43 and so on. Amazingly, these Fibonacci numbers have their role in Forex trade and currency marketing. They aid in the charting of curves, rectangles and triangles through which the forecasting of the forex market is done.

This morning the major stock market indexes are all under pressure ahead of the opening bell. Problems have once again emerged out of Europe and many investors are really wondering if these countries are really out of the woods. As you all know by now when the European Union faces headwinds the U.S. Dollar Index will usually catch a bid higher. That is certainly the case this morning as the U.S. Dollar Index is trading higher by 0.51 cents to $82.56. When the dollar rallies the major stock market indexes will often deflate and decline. Usually, the commodity stocks will decline first and that can be seen this morning ahead of the opening bell.
Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc.(NYSE:FCX) is trading lower this morning by 0.80 cents to $77.70 a share as the dollar trades higher. United States Steel Corp.(NYSE:X) is another leading commodity stock that is pulling back ahead of the opening bell trading lower by 0.40 cents to $45.59 a share. The United States Oil Fund is also under pressure ahead of the opening bell trading down 0.42 cents to $32.70.
Simply put when the U.S. Dollar Index rallies higher the major stock indexes will usually deflate and trade lower. The opposite is true when the U.S. Dollar Index declines the major stock indexes will inflate and trade higher. Until this inverse relationship with the U.S. Dollar and the stock market unwinds and decouples the dollar is still the centerpiece to every major market move. Now we shall see if the dollar can hold it's early gains after the bell rings at the New York Stock Exchange.

Ms. Dunham married Lolo Soetoro the following year, a man Madsen says assisted in the violent CIA coup against Indonesian President Sukarno that claimed a million lives. Obama’s mother taught English for USAID, “which was a major cover for CIA activities in Indonesia and throughout Southeast Asia,” Madsen reports. That USAID was a cover for CIA covert operations in Laos was admitted by its administrator Dr. John Hannah on Metromedia News. Madsen says the organization was also a cover for the CIA in Indonesia.http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig10/ross-s3.1.1.htmlRead more…

109.50 remains as res, but potential reversal pattern appearing. short term trading back to 107.70-50 could be possible I think, infact probably the safer bet given the long term downtrend. There is minor congestion to get through.
