I guess AJ really wants that weekly EMA.
Break it baby break it.
Probably not as we're bouncing off DJIA support

Apperently.
Don't you love when markets become absolutely irrational?

Citigroup reports a writedown we knew about for a LONG time and it causes panic?

The part that is a mystery to me is the USD and EUR strength when they both reported bad economic data today.

Take a look at EUR/AUD and EUR/NOK and there's no reason for those moves today other than panic.

You have to trade according to techs and fundies. Risk aversion, learn it.

Made a ton of money on risk aversion this month, so you're preaching to the choir. Some of those EUR pairs recently broke through and settled on the other side of important Fib ranges, it was technical and today have reacted to nothing technical or fundamental other than risk aversion which doesn't normally account for such a large move in these specific pairs. As for fundamental, the Citi news was known and reported before today and the US retail news was known to be bad.

I'm willing to bet that the EUR/xxx pairs all drop through the rest of the week after today since today's movements were overdone.

Then again.. gold is falling off a cliff as I'm typing this, so AUD may be toast. If oil does the same, look out below for commodity currencies.

I think today was a particularly harsh day with Citi and US fundamentals data coming in horrible. Double whammy if you will. I'm looking for Cad, Aud and Nzd action again tonight. Either corrective or a continuation of this unwinding.

I shorted NZD/CHF and AUD/CHF this morning. Over 90 pips so far. Imvho, the sell off should continue.

Actually this only shows me that I still have a lot to learn about the aussies.
On the positive side it is only the beginning of the week.This move in AUD/USD may still have an upside.
There are no certainties only oppurtunities.

I'm doubtful of any and all xxx/USD upside before the rate announcement. I think AUD/USD will eventually reach the old highs, but not in this wave up. My comments were more focused on the EUR/AUD rise.

USD has a priced in 50-75bps rate cut for this month, so IMO it's going to bounce just like in December because investors are expecting too much.

EUR has a priced in possible rate hike and I see no way for them to increase rates in the current environment. So how is EUR going up so far against pairs like AUD on a day where bad economic news comes out of Germany? Risk aversion is the reason, but it seemed way overdone.

After that post, EUR/AUD is back down 50 pips though so obviously it was overdone. EUR/NOK and other pairs are still waiting on a retrace though.

EUR should go down this year according to several UBS insiders, WHEN it starts to go down is the question. AND do you TRUST UBS is the other question.

youalreadykn,

do you trade the EUR/AUD?

Btw, there is what seems to be an engulfing pattern contest between the bears and bulls on the AUD/USD. Watch out for that one. These kinds of power matches are usually followed by large and aggressive movement by which ever side wins the engulfing match. EUR/AUD went through the same thing in September 07.

I don't trade EUR/AUD, but I trade other EUR/xxx pairs. I mainly use EUR/AUD as an indicator for sentiment to use when trading other EUR or AUD pairs.

Interesting longterm chart on EUR/AUD though and a breakout does seem likely in the near future.
