Uneventful day across the board with currencies and Gold at centre stage this week. Lots action and major flows clashing with each other. We are going to have big shake outs across the majors in the upcoming days as neither Dollar, Euro*, Yen* and Sterling* look comfortable or sustainable for much longer at these levels. Gold will be in the driver seat of the FX board until ECB. sisse {quote} Mid term 1.061x is the only level in play since January nothing has changed.

23.50 taken out pre market i guess that leaves C out of the equation. Disapointed, expected more momentum plays from this one. I do agree with some points made on previous page about being overvalued, we have seen same with Tweeter and few other similar stocks but generally market "fairly" prices asset over very long run, on short term if something is hot it does what it does. Anyways lets see what else we get.

A quick heads up in the FX board. Sterling* entering in critical levels one more time since July.

There is very very very little below in Sterling for a few hundred ticks if the 1.21 handle is taken. We are testing Brexit panic low in play and we are days before the UK jump into the abyss so key level to track even for those not in positions...

On the rest of the board, an uneventful sessions as we are getting ready for the mover and shakers for the rest of the Q. We are going to set the high/low of this month this week in all major including Gold.

23.50 was taken in after hours yesterday I believe. I thought C was playing 23.0x-26.5x. Maybe I misunderstood "the bottom $23.0x of the opening range".
Either way I don't guess stops hit during AH or PM would take us out of the iteration. Not 100% on that though.
I think C is still in (for now).

Edit: 23.0x taken in PM looks like it could be over for C right at the open.

{quote} Too many 'RUT' hands with stop limits waiting below 1.051x, isn't it? .... je je je No for real, definitely 1.051x held very strong. On the TA side alone, the bad news is that everybody including most lagging retail will have now that level marked as key. On the FA side is clear that real money is starting to look for Euros with US and UK going on the protectionist route and outguessing 'good' elections results to buy value and left just dust for the rest .... On the TA side, 1.051x is raised now. It may never get tested again or...
Hi Sisse,

I have been one the silent lurkers following this thread that discovered this thread only a few months ago. I have been catching up the last few months by reading backposts on one screen and charts on another screen to see the levels you and other participants of this thread where talking about.So i could put the posts in a context. I have a question regarding your post above, i am sorry if you have answered it already before hand and i overlooked it during one of my long reading sessions.

In the above post you say the following : '' On the FA side, we are entering in FED hikes as done deal mode which if you remember will be the last major RMT in the first cycle for normalisation (the one that has the most impact in rate differentials and currencies). FED hiking will make me extremely cautious in Euro from then forward ....for today and this week is just pure technical week as we are positioning for FED hikes via Trump trigger yesterday. sisse''

So if i understand it well you are basically saying: march hike is almost a done deal and almost fully priced in. March hike is the last one from the first cycle of normalisation and after this one there will be a much less positive dollar effect from the hikes that will come after.
Is this what you are saying?
How can we determine when we complete the first cycle of normalisation? Now we know it because you say so but how can we know it the future?
What is the logic behind the fact that the first hikes in a cycle have more effect then the latter?

Best regards,
Nik

No. Next hike is a done deal just meant that we got the expectations for next hike pass the threshold of no return. No more, no less.

In simple words, there is no more speculation of 'if' but just waiting for the actual announcement and how many points higher the FED rates will be when spring is over.

Done Real is undurstood by me no more effect any more. After Your post i think, it was the reason of last trigerred and continioning short trade which may survive more or end with any other reason any time. Is it right?

{quote} Yes ...maybe not as low as your chart for the 'zig' leg but around +/- 1216.xx will be enough in my books.... {quote}
...and I will take that in Gold. Clearing the core of 'zig' leg after the test 1220.xx leg for those following from last week. Right on time for NY and the main movers and shakers of the week just leaving the final crumbs open to complete the extension but the 'meat' of this part of the leg is gone.

Well done all that caught it from the highs....

Watch-out you get too close to the market ...my 2 cents ...you should be tracking for the rest of the week Gold first and for today only Sterling* as it's flirting with WTF levels that could carry the board before any reports ....
