It's not a fundamental reason, but those gynormous bars in the equities a couple of weeks ago carried a lot of momentum. I wouldn't be surprised if the lows got tested at some point in the next week or two.

I hope no one is seriously thinking the Italian elections have anything to do with selling in U.S. equities.

Please, please don't say you think that.

Sunday so monday i expect a surge up after the prior dump, someone should confirm this statement with evidence. Trade your own risk. I generally stay away elections as good retail hunting time for stops.

Nice Mr Prez.

Post a couple of historical charts if you believe as strongly as you do backing up what you claim. Otherwise we will think you are only talking out your azz.

I guess all the volatility since January 29th in U.S. Equities is ALL because of the upcoming Italian elections.

Long term debt, huge new yearly spending bill, unfunded tax cut and huge trade deficits plus yet another debt level ceiling debate in mid March coming up but no it is whether Giuseppe Meatballs or Giovanni Pasta gets elected is the big focus.

Guess how many FREAKIN Prime Ministers has Italy had since WW II ............................... sixty LOL two.

I did post charts earlier showing that the Italian election in 2013 resulted in heavy USD/JPY volatility and the daily chart shows that there was a gap. Same thing happened during the French elections.

Clearly, you can’t look yourself and you probably only trade demo money lol. Also, you can’t explain to newbies that their account can get blown up if they leave their trade over the weekend.

I'm more upset I didn't find a way into shorting the EU, especially looking in hindsight of price turning short where the pre-London buyers got trapped and got out.

UJ doesn't seem to know which way it wants to go, and probably will not until Powell gets up there and does his spiel. If I was forced to go one way, it would be short the UJ, but I see no entries to doing so right now.
