@QW - NFP today will be a none event as much as the jobs print will be bad - already priced in by the risk off mood. The EURUSD cross having tanked almost 400pips yesterday should bounce a little today, but I wouldn't be shocked to see it test 1.44 before proper buy support comes in. At 1.45xx it is still in no man's land.

The silver massacre continues and if it closes at $33.60 today that will be a 32% back-flip. It has already surpassed my buy target of $35, but the selling is not yet complete. Yesterday oil too fell down by more than 10%. Seems like the commodities market has hit the fan for now...


Update - NFP prints a positive jobs figure; more than expected and the EURUSD immediately spikes down to 1.4450s. Meanwhile USDJPY spikes up to almost 81.00.

CADJPY is a better trade from 83.70 if the pullback allows.
The ugliest 4hr chart I've scoped after yesterday's euro massacre is the EURAUD cross. This one has acres of room to tank.

update 2 - CADJPY long position order triggered @83.70. SL - 83.00 and TP - 85.00. Will keep it alive till Tuesday. This is a small position - lot size 0.2.

The Greek debt restructuring talk that started yesterday after market hours are not very encouraging to euro bulls. May 2010 saw Greek default knock down the euro. May 2011 we are back again full cycle... Same script different time and with an additional character - Portugal. In short it is time to start selling the EURUSD rallies. If the EURUSD cross bounces to 1.47 - 1.48 I levels I go short. Will update the trades when taken.

Asia session on australia pre open sees EURUSD ticked down to 1.435x. All 1.44xx buy stops cleared?! The Greece drama begins... Closed CADJPY @ 83.40, 70pips loss.
I'm staying out of this madness for now since EURUSD is already down almost 800pips in 3 days!? It feels like silver...

Today trading may be uncertain. Albeit the gains being seen in commodities, silver now $35.7, and gold $1501.3. We cant rule out occasional strengthening of the dollar due to flight to safe haven tendancies as was witnessed last week and positive NFP figures on friday, and therefore some choppiness. Therefore, today I stay out of the market. UsdX now at 74.6. Will be looking for small retracement opportunities on the euro, gbp and aussie later on in the week.

@Ceinz - Commodities took too much in the chin during the sharp selloff and will retrace some, but the selling bout is not yet done. Better buy opportunities will present themselves in 3 weeks time. If you look at the silver exit volume as it raced to $48-50 levels, I expect that supply to take a while to clear. Same case with gold at $1560-1580 and brent oil at $125. The longterm bullish channels still hold, but in the short term, going long now means you get chopped out many times. I hope you still holding on to the short EURGBP trade. This one looks to test 0.86 before proper support comes in.

EURUSD - is excessively oversold in the short timeframes, should bounce at least to 1.44 - 1.45 before sellers come back.

For the USD trade, I'll take some small sells on the EURUSD when the levels mentioned above are hit, but the AUDUSD is my favourite for the USD play. Above 1.08x I'll be short as I expect gold, silver and oil to be overbought by then in this current brief rally. I'm also scoping the AUDCAD for my swing trade. If it can test the 1.05 level the better to confirm the double top on the long time frame - monthly. The aussie all time highs look like the euro all time highs back in 2008. The crash of this crowded longs party will be interesting when it unravels... This is why I've been an aussie seller in anticipation of the bullish fallout... I'm also seeing the same thing on the singapore dollar and the rand...

Thanx bro for your advice. Unfortunately I exited the EUR/GBP trade early, 1 position my sl was it, it was a bit tighter, the other position was exited at market, I got about 100 pips on both.Should have been patient, price currently holding at previous support 0.8750.
I lost the silver I was aiming to go long at $30-32.
I've been looking forward to the AUD/CAD trade since you mentioned it earlier at 1.04 - 1.05. This, if it goes well, will be my first long term trade (> a week)as u are aware I have been more of a short term person. Good take on the AUD highs/ drawing similarity to euro 2008 highs, will be on the look out for the 'bulllish fallout'

Position 1 pips (600pips = 200x3 of 0.1 lot sizes) booked on AUDUSD short at 1.0810 taken on Tuesday. Position 2 (lot size 0.5) SL adjusted to breakeven and sell target revised to 1.05. I'm looking for 10k this month and I'll get from this aussie... Am I aggressive, yes...

Will be looking for short term opportunities/ day trades within an hour after American open on GBP, Aussie and Silver depending on how the F/A s turn out.

I am waiting to see how ECB and EU handle the anti-aid loggerheads from Finland. I'm also waiting to see what 2nd package Greece gets in order to determine if ECB will be forced to reverse their stupid April rate hike move with all the foul defaults follow through. If the package is full of debtor traps (expected), then shorting the EURGBP will be my play in anticipation of the ECB reversing the rate hike.

Waiting for Australia preopen to see how the IMF MD arrest works its magic on markets and the EURUSD. Euro bulls must be wondering what they did to the money gods 10 trading days ago when all was rosy...
