fxtech wrote:@hisah sorry I have been out most of last week and coming week I might also be out bt once I'm done with one, two commitments I will be back I found some interesting correlation on the EURUSD daily chart going back till 2004. Everytime the EURUSD has closed on 27 or more higher lows, the reversal is more than 500pips. In 2004 it went up for 30 sessions and reversed sharply on the 31st session. In 2008 it went up for 27 sessions and reversed on the 28th. Yesterday was the 28th session which made a sharp reversal. The only difference being it still closed above 1.3955 required to break the higher lows sequence. So far the 1.40 objective has been surpassed all the way to 1.4150s. Next week if EURUSD recoups losses to 1.41, I'll fade this level expecting a reversal and a strengthening dollar. If this plays out well for 2 days, I'll look for euro crosses shorts that I mentioned before. I've also noted that EURGBP failed on testing horizontal resistance @0.8840 and falling weekly trendline from the Dec 2008 top. Also the bearish weekly spining top formation is above the upper bollinger band. These are too many bearish indicators on the long term timeframes. This is hinting GBP strength over the EUR. This pair can easily reverse back to 0.8570. If the EURUSD reversal is aggressive, that target could be surpassed. Finally if AUDCAD and AUDNZD close the month at the current candle formations, the reversals will be spectacular.
Quite interesting the IBM stock resembles the EURUSD daily trend - http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=ibm
Also ever since JP Morgan announced hot 3Q results, it has been heavily sold?! http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=jpm

Finally EURUSD prints a lower low before retesting my 1.41 short target after 28 daily sessions on an upward momentum. The USDCHF pair is still struggling to hold up, but should be assisted by this EURUSD trend break. $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

Very choppy price action on the $ pairs. The most recent example to this price action was 1st week of August 2010 when the markets (equities) topped and lost a chunk before rebounding in Sept. This looks like a classic stop run before a larger move lower. The USDJPY is once again at new 15yr lows, but USDCHF and USDCAD have held on to the slight gains made this week. Such $ divergence warns of a turn. Interesting chart of the Dow Jones - http://desmond.yfrog.com...xsize=640&ysize=640
I have a sneaky feeling we might see the classic "buy the rumour, sell the news" when the US Fed announces the stimulus plan on Nov 2nd since this has already been priced in by the $ selloff and US equities rally from end of this Aug when the hint was declared. $15/barrel oil...

I also noted the AUDUSD. Closed the 3 week AUDCAD long position @ 1.0060 - the monthly objective & upper bollinger band. Now looking to sell it back to 0.95s. EURAUD has broken above the descending trendline. If it can close above 1.4380, objective will be 1.47s. EURGBP is struggling to break above long term falling trendline. If it can hold above .8700 it will breakout, below this level will increase selling pressure. Also looking to add to USDCHF long, looking to long GBPAUD (risky) and short AUDNZD. The yen crosses esp USDJPY is indicating selling fatigue. This one will rebound sharply with/without intervention. Goldman Sachs also have an interesting view on the EURUSD yet again http://www.zerohedge.com...shirakawa/Noyce%201.jpg

I'm also looking at CHFJPY. Below 82.50 should see the franc weaken across board & a strong yen. I'm looking to go long AUDCHF. If EURUSD gets back to 1.4050 today i'll short it. These are all short term for now. USDCHF is the only long term i have open for now. $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

Wow! I never expect 3 big figures on my risky GBPAUD long. I had opened them without setting a target. USDCHF is so far working fine. I can see that I missed out on the GBPCHF weekly bullish setup. I'll try and find a better long entry tomorrow now that it will close above SMA50. Target should be in coming days 1.5840s (SMA100). EURGBP is now at risk of breaking below 0.87 level. Below that hints more GBP strength is expected. If USDJPY closes at today's highs, bullish reversal will be on the cards on the day and the weekly is also about to turn bullish with a hammer candlestick. $15/barrel oil...

This week will be powder keg full. No trades until the FOMC risk event decision is announced. The rumour mills are placing the stimulus between $500B - $4Trillion on the US fed bank purchase purse. Since global equities have already priced in this stimulus, if the announcement is disappointing, a large correction will ensue. This will see the $ bets swiftly unwind. If this scenario plays out, I'll be buying the $ esp against the euro and aussie and short S&P and Nasdaq. If the opposite happens and the fed announces a super-size stimulus the $ will get cooked and I'll just add to my gold & silver positions and avoid shorting the equities. May reasons for avoiding to sell the $ is due to the fact the $ selling is at extremes which has small room for solid gains. The same applies to buying the global equities at buying extremes. So for now I'll wait until Nov 3rd. During the announcement I'll also keep an eye on CNBC's mad money show. Whatever they propose with solid support (bullish or bearish) will mean I'm on the opposite side of their trade idea ;-) $15/barrel oil...

$600B stimulus is a flat. I'll continue to buy the $ as I expect equities to come off since this is already priced in. $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

I can see another a major buy opportunity on the USDJPY. To make it better, I hope it can break the all time 15yr low at 79.75 before Bank of Japan panics and kills off the sellers with a huge intervention. I'd expect BoJ to intervene since the major exporters will incur losses from expensive export sales which will slow demand for Japanese products. An expensive yen will also worsen the deflation Japan is experiencing. And anyway exchange intervention is now back in fashion $15/barrel oil...

Opinion on Euro/Dollar? short euro or long? Noticed German figures were below expectation. ..Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven...Matt5:16 - 1769 Oxford King James Bible 'Authorized Version

I'm a Euro bear (looming eurozone defaults - I'm watching Ireland bond rates spike up every week) so that is a short for me. The fed has also fried the $ with the latest hopeless $500B stimulus. But based on the number of eurozone countries sitting on a ticking near term debt bomb, I'd rather be short the EURUSD. Also based on sentiments the Euro bulls are too many while the $ bears are too many. Trading the sentiment inverse is therefore more profitable.$15/barrel oil...

?? I mean buy the $ and sell the euro. The aussie too has a lot of bulls, but the australia fundamentals cannot be compared to the crack house called eurozone on a debt bomb countdown. The best $ play is the USDJPY since i expect the BoJ to initiate another massive intervention before end of this month. $15/barrel oil...

@ProverB - I hope you sold the EURUSD. Its working like a charm this week. Since there is a G20 meeting today, I'll take profit on one position and move the stoploss to breakeven (1.3840). I want to avoid a loss on a spike high after the G20 meeting announcement over the weekend. My target for this position is 1.3420. If the $ index can reclaim the 79 level today, that would boost this position which means equities will sell some together with commodities on $ strengthening. Domokaya - I was on cable too selling EURGBP. Profit limit hit @ .8510 from .8685. I had stated in this post sometime in Oct that if EURGBP fails to clear .8840 (intersection of monthly longterm failing trendline & horizontal resistance) and hold above .8700, risks were down to .8540. The target has already been surpassed to the .84s. Sidelined for now, but might jump today on GBPNZD - small long position. $15/barrel oil...
