    • I'll hold my gun today until BB finished his speech or not trade at all. I may lose out on pips along the way before that but hey its Friday - good luck to those trading for its wacky Friday and anything can happen on Friday + it's usually a risk-off day although the past 2 Fridays were risk-on for euro.

      I still think euro will try to keep above 1.32, whether its a last attempt as support (4th bottom this week) today I think there is still a down trend. But as usual BB can send Euro high above the 1.33 again - but this can be counteract by the German bank who is pegging 1.33. So it's a war between the FED and Germans.

      Bear in mind what what happened after the Greeks got their first bail out?? Becareful if you are new traders. Don't follow blindly

    • Sell stops down through 1.3230 with bids infront around 1.3235/40.

      Offers up at 1.3290/00 and there are expiries at 1.3300 (the magic number again)

      US is definitely trying to kill off euro! Let's see how Europe will counteract FED!!!!
