Be careful. None of us have been here before. The eur/Usd has never been here. ...
No doubt, it is bad. But it has been worse.

Your comparing history to unwritten history. What's happening now is future. Just remember that flip from 1.6 was in a uptrend. It completely slapped it down. This time we have a banking crises in Europe, + war, the EZ oil tax, a Fed ready to raise. Last time the Fed was cutting as eu fell. Oil was 14x at the high, last time.

I'm just looking at the chart. The chart tells me things have been worse for EURUSD. However, things could get much worse than that. I do not rule out the possibility. Bottom line, the Euro is apparently screwed!

running inflation numbers from 2008 high on Crude Oil - would mean near $210
low in 2016/2017 on EUR/USD - was 1.036 area

plus we did not have such a huge war in the last 70 years

more flexibility is required.

Understandable. We look at the past to help determine the future. We try to get an edge on where its going. Looking at that chart I saw a defined uptrend, before the large drop.. Looking at the past few months I see the trend is already down, With a bunch of bad news coming. Every recession since the 1960s was proceeded with an oil spike. If there is to be a larger war in Europe. Nato mostly in Europe will need supplies. Someone has to supply it. What has changed for the U/S is the U/S will supply more oil than before. The EU will have a greater cost for oil comparably. I'm too tired to write this for the millionth time. 2008 and today are not the same. The usd is in a better position today than it was in 2008. Even before a war. A war just accelerates things.

The drop that started 1.6 dropped the textbook 23.x. Almost a exact fib retrace. To me 0.8 looks like the attractant. 50% from the high 1.6.
When pa couldn't hold 1.2 I had this as a possible retrace. Because its just normal. Now with all this other crap. Its chances are much better.

The Euro is extremely weak, so I am expecting EURAUD to continue its path downward following a brief pullback. I will be looking to place a sell stop order. I think it could go down another 200 pips or more.

Morning, leaving a pending long closer to daily S2 - 1.0792.

I simply can't believe where it is trading at the moment but looking at brent and other commodities, everything is at insane levels.

Any long setups you have on your mind mate? Or just keep following the strong downtrend?
Very difficult to short at these levels for me.

nothing yet. maybe the lows in 2016/2017
for now just shorting to the death but decreasing positions

and if we break 1.08 with stops
i do not believe in EUR but i do think at some point USD will get weaker.

but i will use other pairs for that

i am actually looking not for a chart but o a news that can make some sort of capitulation

like - No fly zone on NATO
like Kyiv lost to Russia something that can get a direction

Until then no longs.

just like this

smaller and smaller until either it crashes or just doesn't move.

but not touching any longs setup. maybe something comes at 800 who knows.

Are you suggesting news as the bolded can cause dollar to sell-off? Sellers are having a great time. I just bought some GU this morning and it dumped. Lol...

i think it's easy honestly - trend is very well respected execution may be a little difficult but that's why i am going with smaller positions and taking profits

we need some really depressing news so we can get against

European stocks are obliterated

for sure we are pricing in some sort of World War.

and what a rally will be. so yeah we need to be careful.
but Europe is in a very big problem and US for the first time i think is doing things different rather than declare war and ask questions after

but a huge rally will come for sure

yeah i think we need a capitulation move on a depressing news or a total declaration of war.
it's still uncertain yeah i also think GU is a better long than EU but. waiting
