Yesterday I turned off charts a few minutes before NY close ...and you saw what happened, lol .... and today is probably not going to be different in between US close and Asia opens....

Normally the ranges and volatility get too small this time of day for my style of trading but the PA the past few days has been quite hectic and unpredictable.

Enough is enough for me...I am turning the wheel again next week Tuesday.

yes, and the little liquidity that NY has will dry up even further, some sharp moves should be expected...
Agree and TAusually gets very nasty with low liquidity and strong factors in play, especially when is outside normal hours 'cause all the usual noise/levels from the day are gone (pivots, OHLC, and whatever else is there for intraday trading).

Very heavy trading the last few days "after hours". The uncertainty/volatility on Japan intervention (plus risk on the nuclear problems) are keeping markets very lively so London usual "games" has been completely sidelined both on open and close.

true sisse, look at last night, between sessions, it really all kicked off...

lol, these violent volatility swings are hard work...

What do you mean on repricing that in?

sisse
I mean that anything denominated in USD is strong, since it (whether "it" is a euro, or corn, or copper, or Caterpillar bulldozers) is cheaper to buy elsewhere. Oil, if not rallying, is overbought, in that view.

Therefore, I implied that the E/D was not necessarily showing Euro strength per se, but USD weakness in the excursion now happening.

Thx. I see what you mean. I have a different view on what was going on (its more related to short term risk on the oil side and on Japan potential intervention and the collateral impact over USD related instruments) but your point is very valid.

While the world watches Japan, the Middle East risk- and uncertainty- continues to bubble.

The JPY action bothered me about the USD; I guess I'm not smart enough to understand why a shock to the economy of this magnitude (and no earthquake puns here; it's too tragic for that) should force the JPY to a record high against USD.

Those points taken, are you also basically bullish on the EZ and the EUR itself?

Area 1.4009 ... 1.4006 ... that is fully ok for me ...

In other words ... I did cash it there again ...

And thus we had twice a little chance to have fun again ...

Btw ... near term pivots will come down now a little bit as well ...

So near term risk is growing at the downside ...






Re-loaded at 1.4035 and 1.4037 again ...

And unwinded at 1.4009 and 1.40066 once more ...

Das war's dann für heute ...

Yup 135% pct of yesterday's range, but so far for the week only 70% of last week's range.

And coincidentally 71% of last month's range.

110K bid now, up from 80K half hour ago. And wheat up over 50. Dollar bear day.

I've got to go, too, back later.
hey OQ, just looked at the options and I'd say K is bid 8-10 cents higher...
