One more thing... gold is near multi-year lows.
gold will be driven down under the weight of USD strength, but that won't last 4ever. We will see another boom\bust\boom\etc for gold if we live long,,,,but I'll stick to what I know best.....

this is starting to look as a dead cat bounce on low TF´s - no bull power to cross the 38,2 lvl or to even touch 50.

{quote} actually what do u mean Sisse by the "irrelevant close at these lvls"? Because we broke the main support and any close is bearish under the 1.082xx? plus question - the NFP wave has a gap on my chart ...
The mid term leg was in play. 1.082x was never on the cards for the last couple of weeks move (most if not all bulls hands were more than cleared way above ...remember when we switched from neutral to sell in the mid term leg on the last Q close and later when we marked the HIGH of this Quarter....). Its 'irrelevant' because 1.073x is just an intermediate target from the swing and doesn't have any Technical or Fundamental implications beyond the obvious healthy area for profit taking.

Euro will struggle to break 1.061x without more QE or rate cuts from the ECB and/or hikes from the FED. The initial shorter term break leg (1.097x) will be only over with support of German and US inflation numbers this week. Real support is down below 1.061x/3x and last breakout is up 1.094x with ext 1.110x.

Basically an overshoot/undershoot inline in those numbers will open the retrace making 1.073x the flip area for the DEC ECB and/or FED plays while an undershoot/overshoot will open a direct fast leg to 1.061x before DEC feed by minions trying to catch the bottom and getting smash buying in 'oversold' mode ...

--> However, fundamentals are completely different than those previous cases.

In my view, bastards went overboard with the rally since FED started to chicken out (no surprises there ...greed like usual in manic buy environments ) back in March.

--> The FED overstayed with hikes and we all are going to pay the toll for that. Markets and the economy needs to adjust to a more healthier and realistic environment without 0 rates before the US can have sustainable growth. FED could have killed the move back in march or even June and now we have emergent markets on the brink and commodities putting very heavy pressure across the board via inflation...

--> From a trading point of view, most of the range down was already covered in August so assuming hikes DEC and with Technicals aligned we are set for a bumpy chop zone down until normalisation is under way and prolly until the US elect a new President. We wont break below 1790.xx max as there is strong fundamental forces that justify holding that area but neither i see a sustainable break up in the current conditions for the foreseeable future ....

Just in case history repeat itself, a quick chart S&P / CL just for the sake of comparing the latest two major down turns on how equites led OIL on its exhaustion legs down in both cases and how Oil led the recovery before equities find a bottom...

hey sisse, thanks for your detailed post, I hope I may find time to respond. But meanwhile, re: Oil, I have a hard time seeing wti $26 print in the coming months......even with another major leg up in USD strength, even with the Saudis holding the line on the oversupply scheme.....but, then, I have to nod at that epic drop on the 10-yr, weekly chart below....$147 to $33 in 5 months...........holy smokes, if they can do that then hell they can surely drop it from $44 to $26.....

Nobody is really talking about the 168th OPEC mtg as a watershed, but one might speculate on it, combined with the Dec FOMC (12/16) - but really, if I am betting on a bearish scenario there, I would bet on the fiber drop, or on the SnP drop, it's not likely we would see wti $26 without massive drops in both....

Seems like big players are really in RMT mode.... Waiting for a test of low....

Don't see much in November .... Movement over with such a gud slide...

For me market is just in relaxing mode with very lighter intraday corrections ....

Not much to see until inflation & German number.. Will react accordingly what draghi speaks tomorrow....

wti dumping, down here $42.xx it will pass through, I'd bet, and go sub $40 by next week, ....will OPEC blink if they meet with new lows printing? Crashing oil will snuff the hopes of a strong rally in US equities, maybe swing the Fed out into Q1 2016

Do you know when they are invalidated? That is your edge.

Remember, the GU was only a "probably", make sure you aren't being fooled. It wasn't a perfect set up, so don't expect the rest of the movement to be perfect either.

No. I have never mentioned that before . Plus you are talking on a potential trade that is way out of scope both Technically and Fundamentally for trading right now. In chess is ok to think 5 or 6 moves in advance but this is trading you only need to 'forecast'/'align' with the current 'leg/wave/move/etc' for trading and for the potential start of next one to clear the current position ... 26.xx for longs is locked for now ....

Why comparing ECB with ES? wouldn't make more[all] sense to compare it with Fesx, CAC or DAX instead ?

--------------------------------- --------- ------ --------------------------------- --------- ------ --------------------------------- --------- ------

As widely expected in the euro, minions trading, and pair sleeping around 1.073x all week long but we are ready to start the week today for tomorrow key reports from both sides of the Atlantic.

Nothing new from Draghi either. He just confirmed dovish tone and both QE and rates will be in play for the next meeting. A flop in German #s could be enough to clear the QE leg even before the announcement in DEC (basically sell the rumour and clear with news) but equally powerful is inflation numbers from the US that will also provide plenty of fuel for FED hikes DEC.

If we get both sides confirmation we may witness some major moves to the lows of the year in rather quick sessions....

For now 1.073x holding the european session unlocks the retrace with NY for tomorrow early morning news .... Here tracking closely Euro for positioning for the news play first and then for heavy loading for the mid term leg ....
