Great call! It's happening already!
Where do you see e/u retrace to?
it's always difficult to call a level for a retracement , max 1.3130 but it will be a-b-c ,one up, one down- one up till 1.3130 , may be less or more, not very sure

GBP is a stronger pair than Euro. I think gbp/AUD long would be a better option.
All the best

I think thing's changed comparing to the last couple of months, I see a top in US.equities , I expect the fall accelerate sooner than later. Having said that I favor selling A/U N/U A/J N/J C/J and buying U/Cad,
The Chart is S&P500 futures,

ps. I think Yen might outperform USD but this time it would be so limited as I see a major long-term bottom in U/J as I explained months ago

It still amazes me how precise the market can be at times. U/J looks confused. It doesn't know whether to succumb to risk aversion or to get with the program of US$ strength.

Bloomberg TV were saying that the Whitehouse will probably start complaining when E/U hits 1.25. It's nearly done twice it's average weekly range. The violence in Greece is just awful - three people killed inside a Greek bank that was set on fire by the protesters.

Euro is dead , they just don't know it yet.There is no way to run a currency with one Central Bank and different treasuries and different nations (extracted from Soros's comment) , the situation will escalate if Spain and Portugal really need a bailout.

soros needs to lighten up.......

the euro may or may not die , most things do, but for sure it is not dead today.... and it would not surprise me to one day to see a single world currency and a single world central bank..... actually it would suprise me if we didn't...

all that aside, seems odd the euro is standing toe to toe with the chf.....

Hi there, I sent you an email yesterday, let me know what you think.Thanks.

hey shahab.... noticed the email.... will take a look and let you know.....

one thing for sure, there might need to be some sort of self adjusting/adapting ratio if you plan on using the lsr as a trailing stop ..... otherwise a large gain can quickly be a large loss.....

there are times when it can be 200-600 pips away..... it's 323 right now on the eurjpy.....

thats enough pips to choke a mule if the market were to turn on you......h

what's temporarily leaving the euro must go somewhere.... yen is a safe bet..... this is squeezing a lot of yen shorts.... creating a spiral.....


so the money leaving the euro is taking the path of most profitable resistance.... ie, yen and/or usd.....h

The way NU jumped 60 pips in 15 min after the unemployment news, it looks to me that there is risk apetite and the the present reaction may be eur or gbp specific. All the trend following methods I follow still points downwards for AU, but a daily close above 100D sma(.9091) would mean long again. Probably by tomorrow's close things would be clear.

In some other note I have a feelinig that Obama administration would shore up the jobs number and we may see a 7-8% unemployment rate by the end of summer. If that happens, aud/usd is a good long term buy near .90. Thats solely my opinion and assuming China's housing bubble does not go burst. In that case aud/jpy would be mother of all shorts
