Trading the Holidays...

XMas, Easter, Thanksgiving {particularly the US Market Time Zone} Is Always a Crap Shoot. Has been for as long as I remember. Including Waaay Back to my Trading Futures Days.

This year I expect 'The Dogs' to be back from 'The Hamptons' early due to recent Global Ecconomic events. {Normally I would say Jan 15th}

By Early, I mean Jan 5th. Then take a couple of days to formulate their positions. Tail End of That Week will force them to "Lift Thier Skirts"

IMHO
Keep your Powder Dry...

That's what makes it so much fun... The only question I have is... what impact will alcohol have on their trading decisions that day?

But wouldn't it be the perfect moment for CB intervention ? Japan and many other countries are looking more and more troubled by the USD rise, I am pretty sure sooner or later, they'll send a signal to the market explaining they won't accept too much of a raise.
And holidays, especially now when there are not that much liquidity, could be the perfect time for a strong action.
