I see a lot of distribution on the euro (futures) daily chart....and I see a lot of accumulation on the dx (futures) daily chart....a great base is forming on the dx and at this point I do believe the euro is over extended (not that I am right - just my view based on daily chart)...
What if the hike .75 instead of 25 ? just playing devils advocate....

Sure also my TA analysis is in Resistance levels and ready for a pullback at least. The FA side is a little bit more bearish as there are plenty of FA (debt related) that hasn't been digested in charts 'cause rates.

Trichet is a genius managing the markets so sure he can delay a selloff (buy time for the problematic countries) overshooting the rate on .50/.75 to break expectations or have a very hawkish gradual hikes speech that can prolong the move up until June hoping problems are cleared on the EZ (which IMO is almost sure wont), if not, debt and default are unavoidable in the Summer, all the hikes will be done and digested and FED will be ready to start increasing rates leaving the ECB without room to maneuver and euro ready to make a huge downturn.

we'll see

ever since i changed my way of trading, i see things a lot more clearly now.

the dollar continues to weaken across the board, it is not your EURO,GBP,CHF, charts that will tell you whats going on.

look at interest rates, commodity prices, oil and gold, as well as USDX

so far the FED seems content with the direction of the dollar and QE is still a go. the dollar index continues to tumble and therefore all the pairs gain on the dollar.

i dont see any reversals in this trend till the FED decide its time to strengthen the USD. so far slow recovery, high unemployement and money printing will continue to make money for the EURO longs.

there is logic to the EURO movement you will find it in the USD

the only currency not in sinc with the dollar movement at this point is the JPY, it was till the disaster happen.

Uh, who says there's no logical reason for it to go up? The U.S. is in massive debt and devaluing the dollar makes it cheaper to pay it off. There's also the whole issue with the debt ceiling and government shutdown.

There's also plenty of reason for it to tank since the euro is just as weak if not weaker. Trying to predict forex is a worthless endeavor, just follow the PA and manage your risk.

Agreed Chicky. Was just trying to point out from the perspective of somebody who is emotionally attached to the idea that the Euro should correct...it must seem illogical. But, under these circumstances, a shrinking account balance, and a firm and persistent commitment to short, can be correlated to that word...bait!

* In the interest of full disclosure, I have been building a longer-term short trade for some time now.

sisse's got it, when the FED move the ECB will be in trouble so far, problems are avoided. in the mean time trade the bullish trend, sell the EURO when its time to sell.

howeve for precautions i closed my >200 pip profit on this baby, i want to make wait on the markets reactions tomorrow, for now i am profiting of the gold movement by trading the AUD and CHF seems to be ready to follow the weakening dollar

I don't disagree with you at all.......every move starts from somewhere. I do not want confrontation from anyone and nor am I saying I am right.....there are many factors at play here - and as we are still in what I believe is a currency war......it will be the great minds that will battle it out for eventual victory - but again as I type oil, gold and market futures are dropping like a rock after all of them hitting 30 month highs......the euro has also hit multi month highs.....and like I mentioned before as commodities like gold and oil drop the us dollar rises forcing other currencies lower......and I do see a great base forming on the dx - so we all have our views and insights.....I do appreciate your thoughts - very well written.

i dont see commodities dropping
gold is at 1459 and oil 108, the exact price doesnt matter, thats what i have learned, that in trading 1.4200 is the same as 1.42500 as long as the trend and the overall movement continues upwards, fluctuations will happen, 1.4300 is a different story, prices move up and down knock and revisit, as long as 1.40, 1.42,1.43 are seen it means the overall direction of the EURO is up. till otherwise noted.

as of commodites they are higher than yesterday and higher than the day before therefore they are moving up. the USDX is lower therefore the usd is moving down.

i have made more money playing the GENERAL direction of price than mathematical trying to pin point aticipate, play fractals fibs, pivots MACD stochastics and all that bull shit

sisse's got it,.... when the FED move the ECB will be in trouble so far, problems
Just a quick note on that....

When the financial crisis started, CBs agreed to coordinate interest rate down at the same time to +/- the same levels to avoid exaggerate artificial monetary advantage on FX on free riders and also to send a strong message to the markets.

Tomorrow is the first time that the EZ (and probably the UK if not tomorrow next time) will DIVERGE from the FED, meaning CBs monetary policies are back in play (like 99% of the time are except in extreme circumstances like the global financial crisis, etc).

That's why is so important tomorrow 'cause the ECB will make the first move and a new map will be open for most of related FX pairs and crosses... if you have been long enough in the markets (not only when the financial crisis started) you know that rates and rates differentials and expectations trigger most of the longterm, stable and solid trends in a currency....which direction? I wish I knew in advance ....lol

And where will this genius Trichet lead The Eurozone in your opinion? How will this situation be resolved? Maybe you can name a good example from history?

Does anyone feel that the US government closing down due to overborrowing ,and are unable to get the limit of there lending raised.

Oil break $109

Eur raise rates a minimum .25%

2 reasons dollar bear ,one reason bull eur.

I hear this pair over extended from traders .

Overnight we broke out of a 3 week,200pip range .

Certainly enough time for trader to get in and out of positions and re-enter in the direction they feel appropriate.
Which unless we break back into the range looks like up.
So far there has been no real attempt to retrace never mind reverse.

If this was fake pop higher we would have been well on our way down already.
making green pips large and red pips small this is my goal.
