Definitely a correction is in the cards, but the indexes especially US markets simply refuse to comply since October 2010. I had commented about the same here - http://www.wazua.co.ke/f...amp;m=138557#post138557

Paulson has also noted the same on the long term S&P chart. You can get more info here as he also discusses the USD index (EUR/USD correction plus equities due to $ strength) and the looming gold correction - http://www.elliottwavema...wrap-january-14th-2011/

On the weekly charts the EUR/USD 50% fibo at 1.3572 while the daily SMA100 lies at 1.3522 which also happens to intersect with the upper bollinger band. The daily the correction target aims at 1.3220 - 1.3180 where I expect a final bull move towards 1.34 - 1.35 levels at which point the weekly 50% fibo, SMA100 daily plus daily upper bollinger band will offer some solid resistance for a short opportunity.

As for commodity pairs, I prefer selling AUD/NZD. The weekly and especially the monthly charts are very bearish. This pair has some distance to correct all the way to 1.26 before so solid support comes in. Failure of support at 1.2600-50 level would lead to a larger correction to 1.24 - 1.2380 level. This also means the Aussie will be weak during January.

@ hisah . u must be very rich s&p 500 has been rallying since dec 6 th to be precise.Gosh !!!!! w/ financial stocks leading the way.i am also shorting aud pairs heavily..once i get the go ahead from the correction on s&p 500 . USD/Jpy on the daily chart if u'll look is forming a bull flag and has been held quite well by that 0.50 fib level...i am waiting patiently for a breakout coz you know bullflags lead to very volatile moves.
As for eur/usd i still feel that it very bullish as today's move was capped to the downside by the 32.8 fib level...i think its poised to move even higher...
BOC (bank of Canada) giving interest rate kesho so be on the look out for breakout trades on usd/cad thats been dorn\mant for a very longtime ...Tommorrow we are in full swing w/ u.s resuming trading

Happy tradin.

I am tempted to enter a weekly EUR/USD short after the reversal at 1.36 level just as I had anticipated on post 642. But there is still scope for the bulls to attempt a run to the weekly 61.8% fibo - 1.3720. I failure here would be more bearish than the current 50% fibo failure. Unless the EUR/USD hold above 1.3750 for 2 daily closes, I maintain my bearish stand - too much debt trouble in Eurozone.

Short order put for a weekly short on AUD/NZD at 1.3150 (if it is reached). TP1 - 1.2850, TP2 - open, SL - 1.3210 (monthly
high).

@Fxtech - USD/CHF currently looks bearish as per candle patterns, but the weekly RSI is positive and the monthly RSI is neutral. I don't think we will see a major weakness on this pair considering EUR/USD will struggle to hold the 1.37 handle and the USD index shows scope of pushing up. Once EUR/USD confirms this scenario, I'll play the inverse positions - long USD/CHF and short EUR/USD. You are right to state the $ is no longer safe haven (too much US debt issues), but the whole FX game is pegged on it and the current global debt issues means a rally in the $ is likely due to credit crunch version 2.0 once QE runs dry in Q1 2011. I don't see scope for QE3.0 since QE1.0 & the current QE2.0 have had no effect at fixing the rot in the system. At some point the US fed bank has to hike rates and it will be painful to the markets. I've always wondered what happens when the $ is killed, how will FX work with a basket of currencies as a peg? The game might be changed to fixed rates and that means an end to FX trading. It is on this premise that I always make monthly withdrawals (profits) just in case...

Gold/Silver are a short sell beauty at the moment, but with sovereign debt crisis in Europe and state defaults in US, I can't risk a short.


S&P finally touch 1300 and reversed - the daily was overbought as well as the weekly. Dow is also overbought on the daily and weekly. Nasdaq is now bearish on the weekly and I'm already short from 2302 (NASDAQ100) TP at 2190. The last time the US market had this stack divergence was in Oct/Nov 2007. I expect a correction on all these markets in coming weeks, but the Dow is more compelling for a better short reward.
@QW - I didn't make any money from the S&P rally in Dec. I have stated severally on various post here at wazua that the US markets are irrational to say the least. I'm bearish the US markets as well as the euro markets plus their euro currency too.

@ hisah. u make me laugh . whilst u were bearish on eu ( eur/usd) it has rallied over 800 pips since it touched 1.28 level..i am long and will be targeting 1.4 level pretty soon..the Chinese have really rallied the eu and i hope they can push it further.Here's another reason why i am long euro/usd.

http://forexforums.daily...s-active-traders-20.jpg

More on aud/usd . AUD/USD is taking a breath, currently exhibiting a weekly doji candle following volatile price moves within the range. The strong candle pattern reversal (dark cloud cover) from the 1.0256 swing high continues to mount downside pressure.

Everyone has a right to your their own opinion and we don't necessarily have to agree. The market is made up of both buyers and sellers and each trader trades differently. I look at both the fundamentals and technicals and I'm not a short term position trader. From the EUR/USD daily graph you've posted the MACD histogram strength is bearish and slow stochs are overbought. That a divergence signal and the trend is about to change, in this case from bull to bear.
Something to think about. If EUR/USD climbs up to 1.40 or past it due to the Chinese buying has the eurozone sovereign debt conditions changed? Can the EUR/USD or the euro sustain this Chinese buying bull momentum with these stonecold econ fundamentals? Didn't the Chinese buy into Greece debt just before the euro slid to new lows 1.19 from 1.3 (EUR/USD) back in May/June 2010. The bigger pips are on the short side than the long side if you trade long term and the monthly chart confirms this from the candles pattern - quite a nasty November 2010 sell candle that is yet to be bullishly engulfed, plus a hanging hammer with no floor/support for Jan 2011.

As for Aussie, the selling has to slow down now and a bounce should be in play for a few days. But the trend is downside and having reached 1.02 on AUD/USD, the bulls target was overextended and banks will be tempted to unwind (take profit) on some aussie carry trade. And when gold and oil are slipping, the aussie too gets hit hard. Have you noticed that the AUD/JPY pair correlates to the S&P?
