Looking at the COT index data again reveals apart from EUR receiving record bear sentiment extremes, silver too has bearish sentiments last seen in 2003. Huge reversals are going to be experienced soon on EUR & Silver. Interesting to not that bearish sentiment extreme on CHF is resetting. Maybe time to look for swissie longs. Today SNB has a speech @1500GMT; I wonder what they have to say.
Trades I'm scoping for in Q1 are long EURJPY, EURAUD, GBPNZD, silver and gold.
For shorts, AUD, NZD and ZAR. Aussie & Kiwi will be dragged down by chings slowdown. As for ZAR their econ too is slowing down & the world cup effect is now gone.
EURUSD looks poised to break below 1.28 and that will confirm 1.24 - 1.25 will be tested. The gap up @1.25 needs to be closed before I can turn neutral from bear on EUR.
