....Looks like this is done and gone for now. 80% on Board, ECB with preference and the other via CACs....going to court against the "whole" financial world that finally accepted the unavoidable (since 2 years ago) is not a bright option..... plus and to be honest, come on, they were playing with fire and they knew it. The had enough time to "clear" and run so they knew the risks .... with this deal they lost almost all like it or not...

thats the key point... what a shitshow this has been eh?

lol.... i always though financial markets were for smart people who could actually solve problems.... turns out the winners are just those who can just learn to control and mess with peoples emotions and kick the can on any real pertinent issues or just sweep em under the rug and sugar coat them....

but perfumed crap is still just crap at the end of the day....


anyhow i agree with Jon.... if this low holds.... then the NFP spikes below to the 3200 and launches north... exactly the opposite of last month where it went up to the 3200 and got smacked down south

FF reflects the best "universe" on how the financial markets work. Believe it or not, the parallels are amazing.

Some "serious" holders cleared/hedge as much as they could but they couldn't clear all for obvious reason (BNP, RBS,etc) others couldn't clear at all (ECB holdings) and the few others that are losing all, is just because they were stubborn and greedy ....like in FF those newbies/posters (and not so new sometimes) calling bottoms and holding and adding to losing positions...

In any case, yes agree with the general outlook for the euro. Definitively mid trend change (downtrend slope at least ) in play for the next few days and NFP is a good starting catalyst.

Bears are free to sell without the constrain of the Greece circus and bulls can start thinking to buy.... let see S&P amazingly and barely manage to close above break down in only 1 day and look ready to ride (daily and above) and keep the uptrend for a good new leg in bull territory.

Stocks intraday looks a bit overextended for "choppy" a NFP. A crack above highs will open 1400.xx without much fuss as last important stop before going for all times highs later ....'

hey guys... so we got the PSI data comin out in a few hours... which is all nonsense... but it still shakes the market around

anyhow it seems to me after yesterday we need a bit of consolidation before NFPs and another leg up.... so Im seein this thing kinda droppin off a cliff down to about the 3219, the (incorrect) top i called yesterday that i assumed would give us a stronger pullback than just a few pips... but such is a day of unidirectional moves.... trading against it is a bit like pissing into the wind

anyhow... Im short at 3277 and 3265 playin for 3219.... finger on the trigger to lock in or close all however.... dumb news bombs

finally... not sure if that was smart or not to wait for that consolidation... but i added 1 more at 3237 just cuz...lol

raise your hand if you think unemployment will be better. raise your hand if you think greece will not default.. that's the general media feed. what if they are wrong? what if its already priced in? after all we did move higher..

I don't know to who you are referring to but in my case TA is very clear. Range is 1.331x / 1.318x

Short term and MID TERM (including NFP) there is no real bull while we are below 1.331x. Momentum line for short continuation is 1.318x. Everything else in between is "noise"/range if you want to trade intraday.

Yes there is still a chance to move down but the odds TA wise (in charts) are reduced. 1.308x was barely tested and is very slightly open for the weekly range. 1.295x is marginally open for the Quarterly/monthly range but a weekly roll above 1.331x will close it 100% for the next few weeks.

I am only swing trading fx now as wageslave hours keep me thankgod away from too much screen time. I'm looking for a resumption of riskon scenario with for instance an e/u entry around 1.315 on news dip and a healthy multiweek trend to >1.37 and better.
