with a new low i target 1.0812... thats a hell of a move. and many times we pullback before a move after a b/o... atm the pullback is about 220 pips.. this usually isn't enough for such a big move.

i dont disagree. but more times then not we retrace after the break. we did this time +-220 pips.. that usually isnt enough % wise on a big move. oil has my head fu.. it indicates higher. the euro should follow.. its gonna do what it does. i am bearish. but the things mentioned makes me skeptical atm. also 2909 wasn't as meaningful the first time we crossed as it is today. it and 2962 are future stronger #s then they show atm... we are between them atm..

it def is interesting how we really are pretty due for a decent retrace like u are insinuating from a PA and larger TF perspective... but it just seems like we keep getting dead cat bounces comparitively with the endless black hole of horrid news out of europe feeding its demise... frankly i dont see how this thing hasnt cracked 2008 style and fallin like a brinck sub 1.2 already.... its like jesus himself is holding the EU up.... amazing

maybe, or maybe jeebus is holding the usd down, since the godless liberals took prayer out of the schools and spread their gay agenda across the airwaves.

Morning all.

Catching up with charts across the board so a bit "slow" and "blur" outlook here until I get in sync after the long Holiday.

In the Euro same macro view since the rate cut
Quoting sisse
.... Rate cut unlock a whole new set of levels for next quarter .......

1.237x (floor) 1.271x (key) 1.298x (first target) new weekly FA Support levels highlighted in the charts..but that's for later so just the heads up for next quarter.

sisse
On a more short term view. Price testing weekly S 1.288x but is a weak one (inside bars) and the monthly/weekly S 1.271x (Key) is v close. Intraday and weekly range reaching exhaustion levels and in S so looking for a pullback to 1.313x in daily for considering shorts. A clean break without retrace will only extend my time on the sidelines....

GL all today and this year...

thats true bro but nothing is going to stop true deflation in the US ... its like japan... everyone jumped on the UJ after it broke 120 back in the day and it just kept being crushed...

the EU COULD drop to parity... but it will def be a bumpy ass ride nomatter how u slice it...

e banks are selling assets still. when they do to foreigners, the foreign currency is converted to euros. causing a buy and a euro demand. oil going up also weakens the usd. it weakens it as we can see st.. it also raises the deficit in the usd comparably to when oil is cheaper. since we import oil it hurts the usd. since we import cheap crap from china made from/packaged with oil made plastics. it just adds more. a small percentage in the rise in oil adds a greater amount to the usd weakness. because % wise the u.s. imports more.

it usually but not always works against the yen when oil rises also.. since they import 100% of their oil.

well that is the big reason these bond auctions are such big news.... we are seeing the Euro tumble every time an auction fails to attract much foreign demand of the yields rise to literally unmanageable levels

so its a battle of waning foreign interest in Euro asset sales vs the market pricing in massive scale QE by the ECB and their balance sheet just keeps growing and growing to try and back ever rising soverign yields that are unsustainable...


also the oil moves are going to be radical for sure since the Iran thing is heating up... def watching how they manage the straits of hormuz(sp?)...

I'm really just gettin back on the horse today, scalped a few pips. Have not read any finance news since b4 xmas. i think there's a summit coming soon, or an invasion, maybe an alien papal abduction, need a clue somehow. I watched the Secret Circle marathon on CW all week, saw the republikkkans suckin up to the Ioway homeland, boy I cant wait till we get a godly man in the White House what will nuke all the gay whales and take back our oyul from the muzzies, then we'll see a strong doller bahgawd

Thanks mate, I did have a great time out of the screens.... I hope you had a good one too.

Well yes with the auction but ADP/NFP rules and will mark the beginning of the trading year in my books.

On the bond side. This link will be handy, especially until the Key and big March auctions ....http://europa.eu/efc/sub_committee/e...9/index_en.htm
