yeah but as a basket it was used before the actual currency is my understanding. so the chart will go back before the paper euro because it was exchanged before as "common market". i guess electronically. if im wrong send all responses to jay walker. he handles my hate mail.
Just in order to help out a bit - with that question - lowest has been print at 0.82250 (!) as an ECN or INTERBANK RATE - and that has been on Thursday, Oct. 26th, 2000 - and I do remember that very well...

Moreover - it is not a question of inception - as the EURO has been officially launched on 01.01.1999 - and the first time all BANKS were forced to trade that has been on MONDAY, Jan. 04th, 1999 - it has nothing to do with the time point that some coins has been printed as well...

Nevertheless - the EURO has been tradable even before this time point - it was usually known under ISO REUTERS Key "XEU/USD"...

Official Start Date of "EUR/USD" has been January 1999

that's my take also.. before the paper euro, a trad-able system was in place. that system is the reason the dates on my charts predate the euro.

Well - I can help you out a bit again. This has been - because it was a certain logistic problem to print all the Coins and Banknotes and to bring them in all those Countries.

But from January 1999 - all Bilanzen - or Balances - in all those Countries that were members - were written in Euro. Even then - when some of us could pay as usual with Deutsche Mark or Netherlands Gulder or French Francs and so on...

So from January 2002 - all countries has got sufficiant supply in Coins and Banknotes...

And as GATOR has mentioned - it has been traded before that Start Date in January 1999 as well - but it had not the same name.

It has been known as ECU - has a french sound if pronounced...

And there was another little difference - all Countries that were participitiants - they had still their own Principal Rules in Currency Policy Issues. And they were forced to keep their own Currency in a CORRIDOR of about 3% Range ...

That was the reason - why England fell out of that system - if you remember Mr. George Soros - he had quite a good nose for that effect...

using that figure as the starting point i think 3055 area is a mofo. so im a bear with my back against it. many are using ma ect. if they flip to a weekly are monthly tf it may change their minds. if we cross it i will be a reluctant bull. this bank stress test has sucked up the euro. so today its already priced in. tightening liquidity can bring commerce to its knees. every action has a reaction. banks hording money can bring ez to its knees. so then the choice will be, to loosen banks reserves or print.

just something to watch. 2008 was a lack of liquidity. gold dropping and oil may be part of it atm. other commodities are down also. with liquidity drying up in ez the economy may take a big hit before they react.

EUR/USD :

The "WEEKLY STANCE" for the EUR/USD pair is for us within this WEEK No. 30 as follows:

Structures suggest a test towards 1.3008 - 1.3024 again or 1.3051 in case of an extention. But as long as capped below 1.3046 - 1.3053 it is more likely that marked could see a pullback to below 1.2950 - 1.2941 or towards 1.2756 later or even a sell off towards 1.2698 or 1.2597 in case of an extention. Breach of above 1.3097 - 1.3164 would cancel the downside.

The "DAILY STANCE" for the EUR/USD pair is for us within next 24 hours is as follows:

From a Daily prospective the uptrend is still intact - and it should continue towards 1.3008 - 1.3024 again or 1.3044 at first. This is valid as long as 1.2978 / 69 may hold. Limited upside potential at first - while capped there below 1.3024 or 1.3039 / 47 zone. If not crossed beyond that - one more pullback and re-test at 1.2950 / 1.2943 or even a pullback to 1.2930 - 1.2904 is possible then. Cross of below 1.2902 - 1.2890 would be considered as a bearish trigger which could accelerate the downside.


Highest has been 1.30464 until now on Tuesday as relief over the results of the "STRESS TESTS" of Euro-Zone banks still offered some support at market during TOKYO SESSION and early LONDON SESSION. But this could be prior to an "END OF CURRENT TREND" soon - and it seems that risk aversion might be increase once more again soon...

We don't trade the SAMURAI SESSION today...


Nothing more to say atm - Cable is a bit more easy to handle / to trade within these days...

Both - Euro and Cable - but Aussie and Kiwi too - they do have still positive Trend Potential. CAD is neutral with mild positive bias - and Swissy and Godzilla is switched from bearish bias into neutral potential again...

That's it for now - und tschüss - good night

2010-07-28_ASIA DAILY FOREX OUTLOOK - Majors (01h30 CET).pdf (17.5 KB)



EUR/USD - to consolidate after hitting fresh 11-week high of 1.3045 yesterday. Pair supported by improved investor confidence in euro zone's financial sector after results of stress tests of European banks; news BIS would relax capital & liquidity rules; stronger-than-expected German August GfK consumer climate index (surged to 3.9 from 3.6 in July, vs 3.5 forecast). But EUR/USD gains tempered by diminished investor risk appetite; EUR sales on softer EUR/GBP cross. Data focus: German July provisional CPI. EUR/USD daily chart still positive-biased as MACD & stochastics in bullish mode, although latter near overbought, suggesting sideways or higher EUR/USD trading near-term. Support at 1.2949 (yesterday's low); breach would expose downside to 1.2874 (Monday's low), then 1.2791 (Friday's low), 1.2730 (July 21 low) and 1.2707 (July 15 low). Resistance at 1.3045 (yesterday's high); breach would target 1.3093 (May 10 high), then 1.3124 (38.2% Fibonacci correction of 1.5144-1.1875 Nov. 25-June 7 decline) and 1.3342 (April 30 reaction high).

This summer the planets form a rare “Cardinal Climax” alignment, which puts financial markets at risk, says Arch Crawford. Publisher of Crawford Perspectives since 1977, the veteran sky watcher uses a mix of technical analysis and astrology to gauge which way equities and other asset classes are headed. To learn more about this unorthodox investment process, I recently spoke to Mr. Crawford about some of his best calls, what day the Cardinal Climax strikes, and how to prepare for the turmoil he expects. Here is an edited version of our conversation.
