The Really Useless Thread

First round of closes. EZ Equities barely held a neutral close (DAX and CAC ) but they will need a very generous help from ECB and Italy next week to avoid a painfully bearish yearly close.

FTSE also barely held in Neutral but it looks awfully hard to hold for much longer. OIL and Commodity rally is very bad news for the UK (the last thing they needed for next year) and they are floating on air until US and EZ flows are cleared this year. Let's just said for now, that the odds of today next year being remotely close to the current levels are pretty much evaporated if things on the Brexit don't radically change (or even shift) .... for now yearly close first but the perfect storm is on top of the Island ....

Tracking Energies and commodity close next ....

Yen* is irrelevant for the current moves.

While Sterling* got a very bad hammer via inflation (OIL and commodities). BOE will have a very hard time devaluing Sterling further as the shock in inflation next months (real wages and consumer spending) is going to be very bad already, now with further external inflationary pressures this is going to be a fck up scenario for next year...GU will mainly move and softly as collateral of Dollar for the foreseeable future.

{quote} Sorry to ask again what's rationale behind 1.061x, please.
Short term Daily Resistance zone from 610 up to 685 being tested by bulls. Close under 610 st bearish. Close between 650-685 st bullish, close over 685 st big bullish

That's what I got on it. But maybe dangerous to listen to my take.

When JPY gets going it can really get and keep going, looks like those market participants are not aware of that. However when those XJPY rallies correct they correct heavily.

...and we rolled no surprises across the board. All flows and levels panned out flawlessly as expected since US election flows.

--> Equities held the break ATH, making things a lot easier for the ECB/FED final combo of the year combo.

.... I am expecting to close above ATH highs this month before ECB/FED [check] combo but it will become 'unswingable' (just quick in and out with the herd but extremely hard trading environment) to the long side on a break at this time and with the current circumstances. I still think Europe will trigger the global selloff in Equities sooner rather than later. Trump will just add to the fire and potentially trigger the a downtrend later on the chain... sisse
--> GOLD held 1170.xx, leaving a quick exhaustion in and out for the actual FED play but all constrain to ECB tapering or no. A dovish ECB will put as in wide chop zone for a few months ...

Quote
Officially we are turning the page in currencies, next chapter in Dollar is inflation picking up and how many hikes for next year after Trump but before we have ECB in full control. [check]

Expecting the currency board to start shifting from Dollar to Euro* [check] until ECB.

Quote
We couldn't completed Yen final ext target by crumbs but expecting to be completed with Tokyo [check ...it went a couple handles more]

Quote
Euro trading air and completing 1.061x [check]

I hope some can get something out of this.

--> On the rest, we are ready for December. Expecting a very moving month, NFP could trigger soft capitulations moves for DEC hikes but the real short-circuits or unlocking of further targets come with ECB and Italy in the upcoming days.

--> Also expecting the end of year to be flooded with political BS especially from the UK Government that will use 'Christmas extra air time' as last chance to use a key populist platform to keep the masses inline for what is aligning as the perfect storm next year.

--> From the Trump side also expecting lots of noise and dick swinging and political posturing for Dec and early January. Strong and aggressive announces expected during the honeymoon period but at the same time carrots for the big bastards via tax cuts and sticks with each new dinosaur that joins his inner circle and key positions of power....

Beyond that is for the yearly wrap up and expectations ...for now: All maps crystal clear with same levels, same trades, same all....

I loaded intraday new ones today. Full target on GBP now done from my view, flat now.
AUD and NZD atm opening potential downward moves. Gold also on sight, altough for now relatively small target.
hi guys,

long time just reading the heavy material by the senior member trying to digest them all without disturbing the thread ....thankx all for the info and big thankx to sisse ....

Very moving European session across the board with Equities extending the lows but more importantly OIL taking back the $50.xx handle while GOLD flirting to be the first to trigger the exhaustion leg for ECB/NFP combo.

Sterling* short-circuiting as it was expected with the heavy rally and high expectations in Commodities. Inflation will hit massively before article 50 at this pace.

Finally and also important EZ numbers printing very solid numbers and without the political risk (and the brexit fiasco) in the horizon we should be ready to start flying 'very high' next year. Italy will play a major roll on the ECB tone of voice and choice of words next week.

Expecting Euro to start jittering in the next couple of sessions as short term risk hedges take over for the weekend. Failure to take the 1.05xx handle by NFP will leave us with a wide range for the risk play so managing positions accrodingly for the W close ....

NY coming with nothing in play this time except continuation across the board....
