hello guys...i see that the low has held while i slept even though the ecb cut rates. so...what did trichet say this time to keep the euro relatively strong? better said...rangebound


btw...what is up with the financial system today?..whoa that is dropping hard
What's even more perplexing is that the Euro should have dropped according to fundies but shows upward pressure, only held back by the U.S. stock market.

i at least am aware why the us stock market crashed ...."china plans no addition stimulus plan money"..something along those lines. as far as financials go...moody's downgraded the top 3 banks causing a chain event in the whole financial sector dragging them all down



Citi for 99 cents anyone? ....its cheap



As for the Eur/Usd.......still havent gotten ahold of what was said in Trichet's speech...if anyone has a link to the official manuscript please feel free to post it

13:59 EUR/USD: Trichet No Pre-Commitment On New Non-Standard Measures London, March 5th. Trichet has no pre-commitment on the new non-standard measures that the ECB are discussing. However, this is hardly a shock given that speculation is rife on a rift in the ranks of the executive board members. With no unified stance the Euro is likely to fall further and EUR/USD is already looking to toy with the 1.24s. 1.2450 remains key to the longer-term directionality, with an ACB a decent buyer ahead of the options at the price on the last EUR/USD move lower.

Say goodbye to S&P 700 guys, I have a strange feeling we won't be seeing it anytime soon. The triple witching on 20th (Iraq war anniversary btw) could be the bottom of Finance stocks imo (with other sectors lagging behind them ~ 3 to 6 months).

i will post this technical analysis chart even though i have no intent to place any trades until at least end of us session as today is the end of the world as we know it!.

the 5min chart says it all really...fast moving pa with an inverted h&s in the making. Shoulder line is at 1.2530 and neckline is at 1.2565. A break of this level will fuel a run up to 1.2650 or so again..pretty much the high of the day. On the other hand if 1.2565 holds (and as we can all remember by now it is a very strong support that once broken should become strong resistance).....we could see a new low today. To be seen. I am currently flat and hold no bias while I try to comprehend the complexity of the mess the economy is in today...the China news bothers me....even they dont want anything to do anymore with the US...

EMA50 H1,TD,daily pivot, H1 ganhillo must be broken to jump up

I'm using fxcm trading station and the spreads I saw earlier ranged between 2.9 and 8...to 8 and 17 in a blink of an eye....

Anyone know the reason? I'm a scalper and it really screwed me up. I normally dont check that out unless I'm on for sunday.

Anyone know what happened for it to raise that spread up? Volume is still high...

They are finished. Value of liabilities totally outweigh their assets.

The next attempt to save them from the dreaded nationalisation could be the abolition of the nasty mark-to-market accounting. Talk about shooting the messenger...

Heres what I see playing out:

The dollar rallied with all the green news releases from the top of the current downward channel.

On the 1hr chart we see a slightly descending wedge forming. We will probably have good scalping opps here as we approach the Asian session. I dont think this wedge will be broken until Asian begins.

With NFP coming out tomorrow we are likely to see the Asians push price North out of the wedge and possibly a move toward a new swing high around 2800-2850.

I will be taking all profits as price approaches the bottom of this wedge or on a break out of it, and I'm hoping to see the pivots play ping pong with price as Asian session nears.

.
On the same token we have the CHF/USD at the bottom of a channel and looking as if it wants to push north as it fell below this bottom two times already and has crossed back and found it as support once again.
