Looking pretty bullish today. Will it break the 0.99 resistance?
IMHO it will. If it does, opens more upside next week.

9954 is 50% retrace of recent fall,

Normally, I would agree (with at least 9650 area). This, however, is not really a normal situation. Even thought expectaions have come down for another intrest rate hike this year, the rate differential is very high on this pair in relative terms. While we can expect brief periods of risk aversion due to various world events, the financial world's need for yeild makes it pretty hard to see and extended round of selling for this pair.

exactly.. awesome.. with gov buying up bonds and rates dropping and minimum buy of 100,000 for each brick of foreign bonds where are we gonna get yield we must accept risk.. with equity risk being seen as less risky than gov bonds which we can see by credit default swaps.. people are going to be more interested in buying equities and buying yield and even other currencies to yield a return or even just prevent capital errosion.

the best usa can hope for those at this point is stagflation with the situation we are in tho look for usa to become new japan for carry purposes.. as japan learned you cant tax and leverage and spend your way out of debt...which is what usa is planning or already is doing..

Erm... that's a little deep for me... could you explain what it sums up to?
I agree with the reasons behind the A/U strength mentioned above but you also have to keep what the "big" investors are doing in the back of your head while trying to navigate the market.

what it means is that if you look at a chart of interest rate cycles from about 50's or 60's to now.. you can see the interest rates cycling down to 0%.. what has happened is that the usa has used up its ability to create artificial inflation to create risk app in the market place.. so now they are flooding the market with cash and buying bonds.. what this does is devalues the dollar to create market places for united states good to increase production/meet production and create jobs/ and create risk buying in the market place by selling down the risk free rate or at least is suppose to.. credit default tickets show investor thought behind probability of defaulting .. corporate bonds show less defaulting risk by the market right now than soveriegn debt.. which is bad.. if something has a higher risk generally you should be paid for the risk.. and this divergence in risk is caused by the gov.. and the debt vrs growth in the united states.. it is costing more debt wise in the usa to drive growth and so we are expanding growth slower than we are expanding debt.. which is raising our debt vrs gdp levels which is not good because as of right now there is questions to if we are even able to meet our interest rate obligations.. this is showing that we have reached a peak were artifical inflationary enviroments are no longer going to be able to be created without significant reactions occuring.. us goverment is at the point where we must contract as a nation/restructure debt/pay it down/and raise rates create legit grow cycles again.. but no president wants to be the one to accept this burden and be burried by the american people.

so welcome to the next japan.. extremely high debt vrs gdp.. huge soveriegn issues.. flooding the market with cash to drive down currency and nothing happening.. stagflation..doing just enough to keep the economy from doing.. anything

Usually the min retrace up is 38-50%, no reason to even think about a short yet. Mike Haran
