  • Weekly preview - Sell the Euro rally

    From investica.co.uk

    Read Full Story at investica.co.uk

    It is a case of déjà vu again and again this week as Greece will inevitably dominate the headlines. It will basically come down to German Chancellor Merkel’s decision whether to push ahead with a deal package which totally lacks credibility or whether to put Greece out of its misery now and gamble with default and Euro exit. It looks increasingly likely that Germany is prepared to take the gamble and let Greece default. If, however, the Eurogroup does decide to prolong the agony and approve the loan deal on Monday, then any Euro rally should be seen as a huge selling opportunity. The Eurogroup of ... (full story)

    • But why is the Euro up before the market open? It should have been 200 pip down at least.
      The marked is funny, have they really think about IMF and their less antribution in this "game" or possible standard?

    • That's right, risk on. At least such headlines are better than those tech analysis from fxtimes, lol. Good luck to your trade Mike.

      Germany FinMin has tone down his critism on Greece today, looks like a go deal tomorrow.

    • China news is bullish for risk + no bad news = eur short covering
      I'm waiting from the start of the year to sell at 1,35-1,36. From then onwards i'll bet my house on the euro crash. Now still too many shorts around.

    • dear friends
      it is clear that the e/$ will go north, because, on monday opening, the CHF/$ will move the market not any thing else, if this pair is down, that is meaning, simply e/$ will go north, and look , only for few tfx15 min x 6 to 8 only, then it will be held by the bankers in asia, then it will go down down down , i mean the e/$
      now as i have expetcet the e/4 is north, wait another 15 min x 6 to 8 bars, then it will go down - check now the curve-chart and say hi hi hi Samer

    • Just my observations...while I personally don't see how Greece can pay its debts and should default, my opinion doesn't matter. Europe is supporting Greece, china is, japan, and the US. Shorts just aren't the play unless something major happens to spoke the markets.

    • Wow,..I just finished the middterm and intraday analysis and can tell you guys one thing only: This is a huge short trap manipulating the EUR higher until enough traders have the conclusion that the EUR is going up and buy, just to slam it down (by the central banks)! if you have long positions...close it before it is too late, because you will not have time enough to close them sometime tonight when it slams down so fast or so slow that you will think that it will come back up again, while getting deeper in red!

      expect rather a price action @1.3183 downward, since the consolidation has already started and will probably continue the downward correction from here

    • Me,I'm a little old fashioned,I've got 4 timeframes on.
      The 4hr,1 hr,15 min,5 min.
      The MA's are the 15 ema,50 sma,100 sma,and the 200 sma on all charts.
      The Indicators are the MACD and Stochastics both on standard settings.
      I use candlestick charts.
      The news is set to Forex Factory and an optional vocal newswire through ZeroHedge.
      I look for divergence opportunities and major news opportunities as a swing trader at 50:1 leverage
      It's that simple.

    • Why bother to analyse, just follow the technicals. If your indicators show bulls, then go long, if rbears then short it. Just remember to put a s/l .Unsure? ..then wait till your're sure.

      You can be sure with headlines like this it will continue to rise.
      You can see why these jokers have to write articles, these calls are just pathetic. Had you sold you would be looking at a nice loss now of about 118 pips. Not to say selling a rally might not be a good idea just when is it going to end.
