A good answer will be highly appreciated Question 1: Why we tend to go short when price goes up? Question 2: Why we feel hungry after drinking?
Answer 1
It is our culture to fight the price change. It is like college students fighting against tuition increase and home owners cancelling home policies after price hike.
Retail traders tends to fade the trend because they want to catch a top or bottom to make a killing. There is nothing wrong becasue money can be made by selling the top and buying the bottom.

A good answer will be highly appreciated Question 1: Why we tend to go short when price goes up?

Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws that together laid the foundation for classical mechanics. They describe the relationship between a body and the forces acting upon it, and its motion in response to said forces. They have been expressed in several different ways over nearly three centuries,[1] and can be summarized as follows:

  1. First law: When viewed in an inertial reference frame, an object either is at rest or moves at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.
  2. Second law: The acceleration of a body is directly proportional to, and in the same direction as, the net force acting on the body, and inversely proportional to its mass. Thus, F = ma, where F is the net force acting on the object, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration of the object.
  3. Third law: When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to that of the first body.

To me it explains why clearly.Everything in universe is influenced by physics including our behavior.In simple terms high price contains energy within that must dissipate eventually specially in an environment that price has done exactly that repeatedly in the past.

why everybody thinks 1.38 is so high for euro?
it was at 1.50-58 few years ago..
isn't it even a bullish triangle (monthly)?

Just love this conversation and think Davit hit the nail on the head. Am going to try to expand though my english is very bad for such a topic. We could say its not matter, but energy transfers which are creating universe. Matter is just a short term stance of energetic pulse, and as universe is expanding and is going to contract in future, so do all tiny parts of it.

Yep sure, macro and stuff, but this is fun . To base the idea on normal level, right now exporters is Europe are kinda loosing, thanks to this action. You thinks they are going to make reaction? And is it a good idea to short universe?

Saying something like that without fundamentals purely looking at past history says nothing. What happened in 2011 2010 2008 is unique.
Just because price was 1.50 in 2011 means nothing now.
Lets put this in context.

1.Euro zone is still in recession
2. German/French manufacturing down
3.High unemployment 12% and some Euro countries like Spain as high as 27%
4.Economy needs cheaper currency to boost exports specially for Germany which basically holds everything together for Euro Zone

Is 1.38 too high? Yes to me.Euro should be around 1.28-30 and it will get there.

It is still unique. Its like, the only reason for beeing up here is US overinflated stock market. We could go all way back to 2007 housing crash and since then, it is still the same. Banks all across the world have balance sheets full of toxic assets priced pre crisis. CBs are doing all in their power to clear these toxic assets. FED and BOJ are simply buying both housing sector and government bonds and ECB lowers collateral requirements, makes swap deals with the rest of CBs and then shoots some LTRO. All of this is still a result from 2007 and those balance sheets are still not cleared, as in the meanwhile, we got into recession in whole southern Europe, so the balance sheets got hit once again. In effect, we need more cash, much more, so I dont expect this printing trend to vanish anywhere nearby. Till it lasts, US banks are going to be receiving huge amount of cash, and USD will be weakening. As I ve said several times, this is creating enormous pressure on European exporters and think EU should react. After their reaction, we are about to get correction on E/U, if there is an insider as usuall, move can ofc start sooner. Imo PBOC swaps with ECB like two weeks ago were the first sign and now we are waiting for several options a) european commission is going to give a go to bank lending out of ESM b) ECB is going to launch new round of LTRO c) we are going to get real negative interest rates.

You are partially correct that none linear does not work but that's true in smaller time frame.Once you zoom out and look at the chart on weekly and monthly then it becomes obvious that every action has equal reaction applies.If it didn't then we could have endless highs and endless lows.

yes...
But since there are no guarantees and we cannot clearly see future outcomes, there is always an unsettling feeling in our gut. We want to win, but even more we want not to lose...

u take anytime frame ,market moves in the same way ie up ,down,sideway.whether its short time frame or long time frame structure is the same.its only in magnitude and time they differ.so non linearty of system is nothing to do with time frame and more to do with the structure of the markets.
with longer time frame u don't see non linearty becos of the time it take for it to reveal.for example if u look at earth it looks flat but basically its curve or take lehaman,AIG,merryl lynch,,these r long time frame player but look at them what happen to them.
