Russian Central Bank admits defeat. Could be a lot more Ruble weakness. However, with that said, seeing as the rate makes new lows (highs USD/RUB) almost everyday and with headlines like these, I think we're very due for a bounce.

Short 40.0011 (avg.).

What's your target on this btw ZebraSquirl? Do you revise as it makes new highs? For example, if we didn't break 40 I can see a target of 36; but now with a breach and if we go 42, I'll only be targeting 38.

38.204 to be exact ... . A little bit of resistance there ... . I've moved it back and forth a couple of times, but told myself to just be patient. Swap is good, and I don't have a huge position ... .

Another Day another new low for the Ruble. I'm seeing price at 40.86. Adding a little here, have a small position and avg price of 40.15 now. Any dip below 40 and I'm in profit. You adding at all ZebraSquirl?

Latest research I've been doing sees the USD/RUB at maybe 42 if oil keeps weakening. I don't see much more downside for the RUB.

You can see how I added several small positions at the top of the previous range. Now that it has broken out of that range, I'm going to wait for it to establish a new range before adding (which could naturally be some time):

My net position (which is all of 4K, microscopic by most standards) is currently at 39.756, so I am fine with waiting. In the mean time, I will let the positive swap accrue.

Patience ... patience ... patience ... .

I think the dollar weakness is likely to be temporary, but unsure ... . U.S. equities markets are extremely volatile on the Greenback side of the equation, which may lead to some flight out out the dollar.

As far as Ruble strength/weakness is concerned, oil was again down today (Brent Crude (Nov. 14 contract): -1.48%/WTI (Nov. 14 contract) -.81% as of 18:00 EST). http://www.bloomberg.com/energy/, which isn't good for Ruble strength.

That being said, my short position in the pair is the one pair that didn't worsen today, so I guess that's worth a happy face.

It can also have more to do with the RCB's "Dollar-Auction Plan," which is a form of indirect intervention. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-1...14-months.html

I'm not sure how excited to get about this; they're saying that they're going to start this program in "about a month."

almost new high.
is it possible that intervention could really prevent a big depreciation? why not try rate hike instead?
no other killers to me but emotion

Sorry guys .
I was out celebrating with my grandma the historical minimums for Ruble. My grandma got drunk as she celebrated her uncanny accuracy. She bought USD at 34 roubles few months back . Now she started looking for a reason to exit. I am ashamed of my prognosis about ruble . During historical event you need to forget about technical analysis. Further direction from here is anybody's guess.
