Fed Governor Christopher Waller speech (voting FOMC member): He believes an increase in the target range for the federal funds rate will be warranted shortly after our asset purchases end One big uncertainty about this outlook, of course, is the Omicron variant. We still don't know how serious a public health threat it will be, so we don't know if it will slow the U.S. economy, as the Delta variant briefly did, or even possibly slow progress toward maximum employment. Cutting the other way, we also do not know if Omicron will exacerbate labor and...

{quote} Lets not forget techs.. Pa. didnt break real tech levels.. Those big boys use specific levels like 1323. A isolator etc is just saying "I'm gonna kick your ass". A true level like 1323 just sits in a corner sipping on whiskey. Pa was ejected from 136x and fell below 1323 now. Timing is the hard part. I wouldn't be surprised to take out 1260 today. See what happens with 1292..
The sad thing is, I closed already for London fix.

the only thing i see hitting dollar at this point is Stock Market going down.
and this is easy but also stocks have been hit already so maybe a bounce Santa Rally happens.

if Markets go up FED will say Market are pricing in the rates so eur/usd should go down

If Markets go down we will speculate that FED will chicken so EUR can go up

but that' just speculating on short term because at this point ECB is way beyond the curve
so at this point its just a matter of selling rallies imo.
i hope we do get some rally because looking on the last 5m candles. we just go down and that bearish pennant we talked about now look almost as breaking

i would not touch any longs at this point even if we go to your 1.08

Its still in that lower range. It made all the closes. to make me believe. Its going lower. So I will try to find a snowball to ride down. With the 1 min a 1250 and the h near 1300.. I can't say it will bounce. So maybe just add little ones until you get a large position. If it bounces 1291 and 97. That too looks promising with a st limited ceiling above 1300. Pa has closed below the week S. But it still didnt make a LL. In which I believe it will. I used to believe in Santa Clause too. I think its going down like a crack ho on a Friday night. So possible bounce entries.. 1250/55, 1288/94, 1291/94 heavy 1295/99. If it passes.. see if it closes below in a rejection. More so below 1291. The week did its job with the close below 1260. 1260 may be all we get too.. Its not an exact science. 1260 has a shot to shut down any bounce. I would use the 1250/99 area as a place to look for a position type short. Last week 1340/71. But we would be at the mercy of a Bullish breakout. Had the week closed above 1223, I think it would go north. Had the week closed below 1260 South. It closed below 1260.

UK study sites omicron is no less severe than Delta. But much more contagious. If true, this is not good.

LONDON — There is currently no evidence that the new Covid-19 omicron variant is any less severe than the delta variant, according to the early findings of a study by the U.K.’s Imperial College London.
“The study finds no evidence of Omicron having lower severity than Delta, judged by either the proportion of people testing positive who report symptoms, or by the proportion of cases seeking hospital care after infection,” a research team led by professor Neil Ferguson said Friday in a blog post accompanying the study.
The study used the data from the U.K. Health Security Agency and the U.K.’s health service for all PCR-confirmed Covid cases in England between Nov. 29 and Dec. 11.
However, the data included only 24 hospitalizations of patients suspected of having the omicron variant, with researchers saying “hospitalisation data remains very limited at this time.” The study is yet to be peer-reviewed.
The study estimates that the risk of reinfection with the omicron variant is 5.4 times greater than that of the delta variant.

Seems like early trading is pretty bearish RISK OFF.
could hit the dollar short term so maybe we do get a bounce in EUR/USD.

look for #omicron headlines in US.
