oh right i saw that thing in zerohedge. i get the feeling tho that they just be selling anything they own to raise some liquid euros.

I saw last week or so the Central Bank of Belarus (Ukraine? helll i get em all mixed up) was selling off the spare office furniture just to keep the lights on. hard times all around...
Nm I found the article.... Now I'm even more pissed.... Thanks lol

Morning...

They will need a bit more than that now. After the rally in equities, there are quite a few that won't be that happy with a new risk leg so they will keep the media in check.

Now the EZ is global via EFSF and it will require (and cause more damage) even more than just Greece to make a new panic leg in the euro. We'll have serious money from the briCs (CHINA with capital letter), big Middle East money and the US via the FED credit lines ...They are making very hard for a run on risk short term (I guess that was the whole point for the EZ politicians)

we'll see

it just seems some analysts or bloggers or news reporters are trying to tear it apart and prove something. it was just interesting to see the articles that popped up this morning.

in any case that was just an observation. I am playing ES for the little pullback off 1290..( in @ 1291.9) I know you have that level as well..

really just ready for the weekend..

I know the bloggers on doom and boom since 2008 ...they are always the first to call them but the last one to admit the opposite but because of the sharp moves up and down since 2008 they are always "right" (with a miss of 1000 points in some cases but hey who cares you were right ...

Well you are trading "spot" and in the ES that 1290.xx level is not tested yet. Agree on the pullback but is weekly/monthly roll in a NFP week so we need to be very patience. The minimum momentum lost today will put a hard break until next week...Here is my early chart for ES today..

One important thing to notice (warnings) is that last daily broken R wasn't tested neither the breakout point from the big leg yesterday opening the doors for a couple of pullback bars in daily....

oui bien sūr.... pourquoi pas

Thankfully has been a very solid week without grabbing a tick on the fantastic moves yesterday afternoon. Mostly is coming from the smooth ES rally in the last weeks.

When stocks rally and form a trend is IMO the best and easier trends to ride. They don't have the shock and adrenaline shot effect of a euro selloff on risk but they break/retrace to break /break/retrace to break, etc making a relatively smooth trading process....

I hope yours is going good too mate...
