Well, we may may see USD weakening but I don't really see the return of GBP to a position of strength until we find a new "bubble". I don't see it retracing more than 38.2% of this big slide as there are still weak fundamental issues in the UK. I do agree tho that there has to be a limit to the cable slide but it could be as the analysts are forecasting 1.28 IMO if we reach that level there will be shedloads of profit taking and we will bounce quite spectacularly. For me it's ride or slide... I shalt follow...
but let's say they decide that they will introduce the amero, alot of people, banks etc may start to dump the dollar and regardless of what UK is like it may fly. But you are right wherever she goes I will try and follow.
please DON'T copy my trades I am still learning

Hey all,
hope everyone's having a successful end to the week.
I've been giving a lot of thought to the dollar strength lately, trying to come to a conclusion as where it's going.

Out of interest, what do people think?
Is the dollar rally running out of steam? Are we seeing the start of a dollar sell-off, or is this just a temporary calm before the final storm?

Just a couple of weeks ago, I was convinced that we'd see 1.3xx, but the nearer we get, the less sure I am.
hey man, i still see the daily target 1.4435 and the weekly 1.43 but it might take some time for that because i am seeing it running out of steam... it will take time, we'll see what will happen

no evidence whatsoever yet to short, waiting for a bearish engulfing on the hourly charts to go short

If, and that's an incredibly huge "if", they introduce the amero, it won't happen within the next decade. The US cannot risk further destabilising the confidence in the dollar, as the consequences of their creditors dumping Treasuries or refusing to participate in future auctions would be catastrpohic. Long term interest rates would soar, dollar would weaken and inflation would strangle the economy, as the prices of commodities rocket.

Look at the vicious downtrend in crude oil over the past few months, where it has gone from $147 to under $50 a barrel....
your right "can't" was probably to harsh a word, anything is possible at the moment.

Oil is playing a major part in the currency markets today it just surged to $50 and then ran into a brick wall for now

I would say you will not see an Amero in my lifetime and I am 50. There are too many people in power who would die before they saw a Euro type currency. I can also tell you having just traveled to Egypt and Jordan that the dollar is stronger than ever and getting stronger. I will say what will hurt the dollar is economic irresponsibility that we have seen in the last months. At some point the dollar will lose value just based on the fact that we have so much more promised out than is coming in. We can't just keep printing it.

I have closed my short at 980 but I am reluctant to consider a long from here and during the US start even tho I think it will go up. The US just provides such spectacular market collapses that I am waiting for a good short with Micho.
