Are you tracking the ES? .....Itchy very itchy fingers to load in the ES. Fiscal cliff deal is so close and moreover I think we are going to overshoot positive in NFP. All eyes on that 1400 for the reaction (to 144x) ... This time we have gold aligning to the same side. 4 US Majors (Gold, Oil, ES and Dollar) aligning to that final move of the year ...

Dollar leading intraday but ES TAwise is not ready yet ....Patience patience...

sisse
If the dollar rises, would we expect oil, gold and es to rise with it?

Just HOW close on the cliff? Today close? This week close?
I mentioned before in the thread..... My call is for +/- next week. Take out Christmas week, Washington closes on the week of the 15th (hey poor hard working politicians need to get back home early for shopping) add some of the serious comments and talks in last few weeks (not that easy with all the political BS and circus from both sides ...but that is mostly noise) and see how key markets are holding strong in thin air and you can deduct that the "rational" time should be around the corner.... we'll see

That would likely mean EU is at or near its top... no?
Thanks
In my books Euro is only moving via dollar. Top on the swing? not really. TA wise alone a fast break on the knee jerk reaction can extend as high as 1.334x which is my last level untested in this quarterly outlook .... Top on daily and intraday? well it needs support of correlated markets. ECB/NFP looks like a good catalyst but I am not interested at all "in catching a top" at these levels ....not until at least further FA short term data.

If the dollar is strong, I would expect lower oil, gold, es and euro.

Not clear on how everything can align for a last push.

OK thanks. Thought you were picking up chatter on the wires that something was imminent.

I still can't help but think 2013...perhaps a month or two (three) in before a resolution. I'm sure the Bernank (and others, of course) doesn't mind the effect all of this is having on the direction of the dollar right now. Certainly cheaper to service debt...and they have a lot of it.

Well Obama was on the wires a bit more positive but nothing imminent....since last Thursday markets has stop reacting on every comment from the politicians ... They have make a circus (like the EZ counterparts) out of the market and the American people ...but well thats the same everywhere ...

In any case, IMO we will get some kind of agreement before going over the cliff in the 2 or 3 key issues but they will leave the technicalities full of "semi open" holes to retract if things go wrong .... for the Real issue, like in europe, they will just kick the can down the road.....

That...I'm down with. Same page here.

I know US elections are always a circus, but almost a little reassuring to see that EU counterparts aren't the only ones that make a balls of (albeit) HUGE decisions. But...a little sad that that poor can getting kicked in the ass over and over is the common solution.

Thanks mate...always appreciate the insights of a good mind.

Indeed.

Already played out to me, though. No meat left.

Those Batman heads can be nice entries. Double top with exhaustion.
