Weekly resistance would be better served at .2300 > or < Zone but you get the idea

edit: and I am referring to the opposing idea charts on this page MAC's and Hut's both may be valid - just trying to point this out.

I am leaning toward EUR up and GBP up but need further confirmation

E.C.B trillion dollar bailout is the game changer for the Euro. It might not work in the long run and the currency may still be history in 5 years as many predict however, for now, a 38.2% retrace to 1.31 is not much to expect from the central bank bailout of PIIGS

1.27? The broken trendline projects price to target 1.31. The recently completed head and shoulders also projects price to 1.31, the exact 38.2% of the move down from 1.5140. With the E.C.B backing it all the way, its going to at least 1.31. You can take that to the bank.

Chart 1 is a week old and shows the trendline break, price projection and the head and shoulder scenario before it even formed.
Chart 2 is current

True, these are great points.

It may not. Yet the dollar is no bargain either. The US government is printing money to throw at every problem faster than the presses can run, this is not the solution. Both currencies may be doomed in 5 years.

Which first? Take a look at DXY possible rejection

If so this will send Gold to 2k

But for now, and some setups next week.

MAC,
Here is an updated Weekly potential resistance chart.

Which allows for appx EDIT (typo 300 pips) maybe about 60 pips north until the clash. Otherwise it happens now. EDIT

The little star is the first attempt. clearly it was rejected and the price sank.

Putting E/U resistance at 1.2600+ potentially - EDIT ADD -> then perhaps some retracement of friday's move followed by breach of this level...

Nice chart. There is going to be resistance for sure. That round number in particular is critical as you have accurately determined. 1.2650 is the 23% retrace and should cap this rally for now if price gets above 1.2600. It will be heavily defended by the bears but, they will have to concede if it is taken out. The ensuing short covering rally will cause a huge move as you have suggested.
Quoting XTrade

If the inverse H&S proves to pan out and we close above the resistance line.
The EUR/USD will rocket.
There really isnt much technical resistence between 1.27 and 1.31. Dont forget the fundamental game changer I mentioned that will drive this move which is more important than these techs.
I zoom in to the 15 min chart to trade and will be trading the significant levels in both directions while maintaining a long bias. It doesnt really matter to my trading if my longer term opinion is correct or not, price will bounce and/or break at the significant levels, it always does. I have buy orders in place below the pa at support targeting only 20-30 pips

I am not touching the Euro at the moment, too much short squeezing going on and many specs.
Any thoughts on these:
Sell the yen by buying USDJPY.
Buy the CAD by selling USDCAD
Sell the GBP by selling GBPUSD (GBP moved much further than expected to in the last 2 weeks).
Are you sure?

That's the COT index though. The big players are long but the index is showing an overbought scenario, looking at the last few times it got to those levels the GBP reversed its price path.
For the YEN, date needs to go back a bit further.

I was inform through Peter Bain Forexmentor that if the COT index are at extremities either long r short. It is time for us retail traders to follow the fund managers. I didn't know that. What is the difference between net position and COT index? Which responds upon declaring the COT report last fri?

hi guys
seems EURYEN move in a descending channel. the upper line of channel is where two pattern going to form(ab=cd , reciprocal), so if market reaches to illustrated zone, maybe we could count on sell

i think marked prices (1.5290, 1.5380) in attached picture have reversal potential (at least 100 pips)

Who is Peter Bain? When any index is at the extremities, to take that advice is suicide. If the net position changes from short to long then you could consider going long but it would be better to have got in before obviously and use that to stay with the trade.
Anyone else have an opinion?

He does a course. Had good success with big dogs at 1 extreme say heavily long and small traders heavily short so when big dogs started unloading they had some market to shift their positions off to.

I thought otherwise as shown on the current week. if you notice price for USDX is down down down and Yen is up up up. So far looks good.

Thats not quite right. It is large traders versus commercials. When they are at extremes you bet against the large traders. For example, commercials will be extreme short after a rally because they are hedging against that price rise. The large traders are at extreme long contracts because they have been buying into the rally. The commercials unload their positions as their business deals settle and they no longer need the hedge. This usually causes price to drop, sometimes a little and sometimes alot. Extreme positioning preceeded the EUR/USD drop from 1.51, thats a 3000+ pip market turn. The small traders are irrelevant as they cannot inluence the market
