Another reason negative ECB rates will make no difference?? Draghi is full of BS {image}

There are no large deposits with the ECB. So this measure is of no effect. Thanks S for this info

Except that now I guess everyone will expect Draghi to do more next time so it'll sell off in anticipation maybe? sell the rumour again?

I'm not longing the euro not for anything. It's too risky and might just be too clever by half.
I haven't been trading currencies for that long, but to the best of my knowledge, it's rarely a good idea to fight a CB that is engaged in activities to weaken its currency. Soros fought the BoE and won, but the BoE was trying to defend the pound (keep it up) rather than push it down.

All that said, I'm surprised by today's reversal on the euro, but the week is yet young and maybe the bulls will step up to the plate after trapping a few bears.
I have no clue what I'm talking about.

Just checked the options. There's enough volume & OI to sell some calls. I'll be looking to tomorrow.
Thanks for the idea!

I hear you BW. As always you want to be on the same side of Draghias per the euro currency. As you know EW helps to map what is going on in the markets. Once you think you have a handle on the markets then you trade accordingly. The general theme of my euro chart is to wait for the retracement to be done and then go with the big move down. Screen watchers can take the upmove but the retracement upmove is usually fickle. frustrating and misleading. When the next move down starts we jump on board and hold on for the ride down.

The support area is holding. Perhaps price will move up from here for a bit...

Guys you might want to subscribe to this:
http://www.freelists.org/list/thedailyshot
It's free; and you get an email every day with just a few very brief but salient points. I only came across it and subscribed to it a week or so ago and unlike many things (e.g. those PDFs that Jim C so kindly sends our way but which I hardly ever read because they are soooo long) the Daily Shot email is very brief and hence easily digestible.

In today's email, one of the points is this:

Thanks BW. Will have a look. Hope it turns out to be like the J Cominskey Rants recommended by Stewrigh. I enjoy those light hearted factual rants.

Thanks BW. Thanks S

By the way the euro did not hold support area and is attempting to retest Draghi's bottom (low!)

Everyone's buying the rumour atm - they all expect Draghi to ease some more and when he does they'll buy lol

Eurusd - Good argument but price is not (yet) playing ball. I was looking for a 3 wave retracement off the 3500 lows past the 3680 high where a better sell can be laid on. The idea is getting tested to the extremes as price shot down through support. The last stand before 3500 is where price is at right now. We'll see what happens

LOL Olu, you're obsessed with the euro. I don't think a substantial bounce is gonna happen now. If they were going to take it up they'd have done it already. It would be really odd to reverse (from 1.35 to 1.37), then reverse (from 1.37 to here), then reverse again (higher from here eg to 1.39), and then reverse again (back down).
Really, it's too damn complicated. I think too many people want to get short at higher prices. They missed the boat and are too scared to pull the trigger here.
The ECB move is a game changer. I think we are early in the move. Plenty of pips to be had on the downside.
There is no reason why E/U can't get to sub 1.30 again, or even 1.20. Might take a couple of years, the way these markets are these days, mind.

Could see some consolidation hereabouts though; if it gets back up to say 1.36 I might start adding a little short on E/U (currently flat; but still short E/A from yonks ago).
I have no clue what I'm talking about.

No BW. I am obsessed with trading . With the euro idea I am going on about it because the EW idea has not been negated despite the move down. I will not say one more word about it if the 3500 low is broken - except an admission that the idea was wrong.

Mate, I'm just kidding I'm obsessed with trading too. And keep the E/U charts coming, I don't look at it as much as I should.
Remember when I said about E/A that it was good to put a small position on because the trend had clearly changed, but we weren't sure if the countertrend pullback was over at that point? I think that's true of E/U or other Euro pairs at this point. A small position that you're not going to freak over if we see a little countertrend squeeze but rather you'll look on that as an opportunity to add at higher prices.

IWM: Almost perfect double top incipient right shoulder (i.e. I'm expecting it to become a right shoulder; no guarantees at this point).
I'm expecting a probe back up there to the red line, perhaps later this week. I think they're going to let the air out of this balloon slowly for now..frustrate all the put buyers, make em keep on paying up for that protection

I like this one. Can you provide an updated chart that will include today's fall? I know(!) that the powers that be are supporting the stock market and therefore agree with you about the idea of slowly letting the air out of the baloon
