Aussie appears to be a little out of favour at present , we could see quite a dip if the figures today come out worse than expected , CBA expects deficit could be as wide as A$2.7 billion, a record high (consensus A$2.4 billion). Spotlight would then swing to current account deficit woes, with particular attention on frustrated export efforts also according to Westpac Huge build-up of speculative longs continues to hang over it.

Well, this has me waiting, myself. Sorry to not give you ideas. No I have no long term possie..bobl does however and he's good. If the chart would short to 1.29 it would tell us that the mother support line was reached and that we could happily long again for some time without getting ourselves in trouble. but it hasn't. It is expected to short tonite or tomorrow to 1.29ish. I have no position because of the squirrelly way it's been acting and I have no cash flow data to go on. I'd pay attention to Goldcoast martin and just becasuse he didn't nail it today (I stopped out too and it cost me some bucks but that's my fault and I should have stayed in to tp on at least something) then don't mistrust him.

What makes a big diff between chartists like me (a dime a dozen around here) and folks like martin is he has a very good handle on cash flows in and out and fund actions/intentions. I don't care who chastizes him here...he's a good man and knows his stuff...more than I for sure.

So..that's my take..sorry I can't give us a tgt and a stop..back to the lab to work on my time machine. Tks amigos

FRANKFURT : The European Central Bank, which booked a 2003 loss of 477 million euros (625 million dollars), saw its net loss widen to at least one billion euros last year as a result of the weak dollar, according to the Handelsblatt business daily.
If the numbers are correct, it would be the third annual loss posted by the guardian of the euro in the first few years of its existence. The wider loss in 2004 was largely due to the fall in the value of the dollar, since around three quarters of the ECB's foreign currency holdings are denominated in dollars. Last year, the euro rose by 16 percent against the dollar, representing an increase of more than 60 percent compared with the historic lows it posted in autumn of 2000.
As a result, the ECB was compelled to make 1.6 billion euros' worth of writedowns against its dollar holdings, Handelsblatt reported. Another factor was the low level of interest rates around the world, which knocked around 700 million euros off the ECB's net interest income, the newspaper continued.
The ECB declined to comment on the information. It might provide a preliminary estimate of its 2004 earnings when it hold its regular monthly policy-setting meeting on Thursday.
Already last week, the Bundesbank said that its annual profit had been whittled down to next to nothing as a result of the sharp fall in the value of the dollar. - AFP

title="put description here"
skip a space before you insert that, then end the front part of the link as usual with the usual >

If you ALSO put target="_blank" in the link code (skip a space before you insert that) it will pop your link up in another window so you don't leave GV. Slick? No?

gold coast martin 19:02 GMT January 10, 2005 Reply   
FWIW..leaving all short positions open until tomorrow with same targets as per my first post of of today....and taking an additional yen long @10412 with stop at 10376....target 10517....
..with euro still retaining hangover from friday and despite attempts to shake it of ,the lack of follow through to challenge 13150 level still leaves it in a punch drunk state with plenty of opportunity to be taken advantage of!!!!!..also with japan back tomorrow the impetus in the yen should be more sustained ...Hence the decision to leave all shorts and yen longs open overnight for another shot at my previously posted targets..
As far as anything positive to come from todays dull day ,it was only my posted "early retacement level of 13098" on the euro that materialised and also the support level of 13021 which has put a lid on the euro..although it was breached by 3 pips...it wil continue to be effective until todays close....this was good for a few pip raids up and down the ....g.t and trade safe....
Worth a mention is that with the aussie trade figures due to be released in aussie session and are expected to be on the wrong side of expectations we could see aussie shes 60-70 pips in an instant...g/l

Looks like Euro may be getting rising support at 1.3080 for today - althought I'd rather see it break that to keep chop-chop going for the day. Channel may be closing as 1.3120 has held the top.

BTW, its the sample size ( the data on which the analysis is built) that's disgustingly small.

No, we are well above Friday's close, you have to add that difference to the expected low, and subtract it from the stop loss point. I had hoped to get to 1.3150 before getting in, but we didn't today (at least not yet.) Ball parking the values (potential TP ~ 1.29, Sl ~ 1.33, gives an even split entry at 1.31.

This is based oon the analysis of the 4 week rule results; I estimate that there's on the order of 150 pips potential below Friday's close before hitting 250 pips above that close. Alas the sample size is discustingly small, so I might be out some serious bucks sooner than expected. But I'm just going to put it on the back burner & let it cook for a week or two. GL/GT

Paul,

Because of choppiness, I'm moving on touches to the BB on the five minute chart (or just outside)...

I've had two shorts from the 1.3120 area and a nice long from the 1.3078 mark. Each for 15+pip. I've done a few for 0-8PIP also. There were two for -PIP (4 & 7).

Have to get on the plane now, but tempted to short now for 10 pip, but probably won't because I lose 75% of the time I do that when logging off to travel. Hope it continues into tonight for when I'm back on.

thanks for your comments orlando, i think i'll wait for those prices to short it too.

of exactly the same opinion. long cable as well as older cable longs from friday around 1.3065 (not near the low, but happy enough just now). stop at 1.3040 for 1.3270 minimum. trail it higher if it goes.

Juan,

I'm jumping on a plane, so I'm flat right now, but I would probably re-short around 1.3110-1.3120 for another 15-20 pip expectation. I think it will be choppy all day.

Bahrain within 10 pips 16:15 GMT January 10, 2005 Reply

anyone shorting euro?

orlando jcr 15:59 GMT January 10, 2005 Reply   
I'm probably completely wrong on this, but here's my thoughts....

I think we'll be choppy trading on E$ all day with a high somewhere around 1.3022(25) which we've already seen and a low of 1.3050 (or maybe 1.3028).

The chops are nice enough to make 10-15PIP in each direction as I have made several of these since yesteray open - after a fairly slow start in Asia.

...Again, I'm not the greatest technician on this (martin, GEP, quito, et al would be much better) but that is just my feel. I've made my low target for todays trades and hoping to hit my high with this plan - unless of course I'm wrong.

Each of these small, sharp spikes up in EURUSD in the past hour have faded very quickly. It looks as though offers are being pulled near the lows of the range allowing spec interests to run prices higher . On we go +13100 those sellers reappear.

IFR: EUR/USD We are hearing reports that a 1 year exotic Double Touch option, with a base trigger located sub-1.2000, and a topside trigger set above 1.4500, has traded in very good size. The payout on the option is approximately two-and-a-half times the premium staked. 1.4500 is a synthetic approximation to the lifetime USD/DEM low of 1.3460 plumbed in January 1995.

Well...the good news is that the longer the market stays in narrow choppy range, the greater the possibility of a good move in resolution. To state the obvious, narrow ranges represent a battle of bulls and bears. Once one side gets the upper hand, the capitualation of the other side gets a more meaty move going.

Trade figures appear to getting some play in here but I still don't see a winner as of yet...no trades.

eur/usd...1.3247
usd/jpy...104.0867
gbp/usd...1.8903

These numbers are mathmatically based and represent longer term "change" points. Often these levels attrack the trade within the week. I am watching the next hour closes to take positions for day. Obviously, markets very mixed today which characterizes a trade potentially in transition.

Jake amigo, it's my wording that is confusing..the chart is consistantly and beautifully longing as martin said it would...the chop I referred to I see only on the 1 minute chart. You are correct obvioulsy..the chart is nice and trendy..UP. I should have been more specific in my post..tks, hope your acct is loving this!

In the past when the floor is reached after the first plunge from an overbought E/$, a major 500-700 pip up correction happens in E/$ rather fast in 2 days. At the rate we are going up on this pair we are gaining 70 pips in 11 hours. Interpolating this, 150 pips in 24 hours if we want to play with numbers and if it doesn't go hyperbolic. I REALLY want this chart to short to 1.29+ so as to form a good solid basis to long. At this point I have no bias however. I don't know whether to enter long here or just wait for the short that is predicted by viis and martin. Remember both Friday were RIGHT ON THE MONEY. (pun intended) Dolphin had a super position as well in the face of my doubt.

Wall Street Analysts Get Record Pay Cut After Legal Settlements
Jan. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Wall Street analysts suffered the biggest pay cuts in securities industry history after U.S. regulators barred them from issuing research that was slanted to help win investment-banking assignments.

Average annual pay for a senior analyst in 2004 dropped about 50 percent from $1.5 million in 1999, said Gary Goldstein, head of New York-based Whitney Group, an executive search firm that specializes in Wall Street. Combined research budgets at the seven biggest U.S. securities firms fell 40 percent to $1.5 billion in 2003 from 2000 as companies fired analysts and cut their compensation, according to Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. in New York.

Citigroup Inc. and Merrill Lynch & Co. are among 10 firms that agreed to pay $1.4 billion in penalties in April 2003 after being accused of using biased research to gain lucrative underwriting and merger assignments. Since the settlement, analysts have been transformed from a revenue source into an unsustainable cost.

``The golden age for analysts is over,'' said Manny Goldman, 66, who provided research on the beverage industry for 28 years at several firms, including Sanford Bernstein and Paine Webber Inc. in San Francisco. ``I saw that with fewer initial public offerings and fewer mergers and acquisitions, there would be a focus on cost cutting. It's not as much fun anymore.''

I can't foresee a single move of the chart..it just wiggles and squiggles on its own. It still is a longing chart from Monday asian opening and the day candle has no top "wick". I see no short in sight YET. I wish those who say to short the chart would hold off lest someone lose $.

fwiw came across this with repsect the China guessing game-

South China Morning Post reported on its Web site that "China probably
won't adopt a fully convertible currency before 2008 because the
government isn't ready to manage foreign exchange" - citing officials
such as Cheng Siwei, vice chairman of the National People's Congress
Standing Committee.
"China would only make small adjustments to interest and exchange rates
this year if changes are needed to maintain stable monetary policy",
state-run Xinhua news agency said, citing a senior official with China's
top economic planner.

And this is true for both sides of the E/$ styx;

Thus, the odds for this week are:

1.35 below 1%,
1.34 below 5%,
1.33 below 20%,
1.32 around 50%

While on the other side, it's still Terra Incongnita.

Economic Snapshot

Good morning everyone from FXstreet.com. Crude Oil closed around the $45.3 level on friday, while US Dow Jones Index holds below the 10.630 level again. Check out Latest Forex News section to review overnight economic stories.

Forex Technicals at a glance

Euro/Usd : At the time of this writing, the pair is trading around the 1.3100 level. Sell-off continued, following technicals, after the US NFP data was released on Friday. The number that came out was below expectations and should the conditions have been different, I’m quite sure it would’ve dragged the greenback down, hence my opinion that, “generally”, data is used to confirm an unfolding technical aspect for any particular currency pair. The Euro extended its losses well till the end of the session, making new lows as the week was to its end. It hit the lowest point at 1.3025, and, if fibonacci retracements were calculated from late august’s low (instead of year’s low), up to the highest point at 1.366, we see that Friday’s low at a.3025 coincides with the first fibo support level at 1.3025. At this moment, the division between those who think the Euro is done and will head for new lows and those who think that it might go to low 1.29’s but from there it should give new fresh highs above 1.40, is substantial. I’m of the opinion to watch the charts closely and adapt the view –if necessary- once key levels are broken. For now, Eruo could be forming (just speculation) the right shoulder (only starting to) of a head-and-shoulders formation on daily charts. To confirm it, it shouldn’t get pass the 1.3350 level (1.3450/1.3500 would definitely negate this view). If it doesn’t, the formation could be completed, and would target around 600 pips ... but as I said ... it is just speculation at this time.
Indicators watch : Indicators watch-level 1: EUR Negative (december 31, 2004, when it triggered a negative signal for the pair). Indicators watch-level 2: EUR Negative (same date), but showing signs of oversold status.

Gbp/Usd : At the time of this writing, the pair is trading around the 1.8755 level, with the GBP recovering ground against the dollar after hitting fresh multi-week lows on Friday at 1.8645, joining the Euro on the ride down after the NFP data release. The double top around 1.95 worked efficiently and weighed on the pair for some weeks prior to the subsequent sell-off. It is currently battling to recover, and hold above, the support line that comes from a previous resistance level around 1.8755. Talking Fibonacci, if we take the low of october 2004 and connect to its recent highest point above 1.95, and calculate the fibo retracements in that upmove, we see the GBP currently trying to hold above the 50% retracement level (around 1.8640), its second support level, after having broken the 38,2% level (around 1.8855) quite easily.
Indicators watch : Indicators watch-level 1: GBP Negative (dec, 21, 2004). Indicators watch-level 2: GBP Negative (late december, 2004), showing oversold status and signs of possible retracement.

Usd/Chf : At the time of this writing, the pair is trading around the 1.1800 level. On Friday, we saw quite good technical behaviour by the USD against the swiss franc. It tried, without success, to break down double-bottom’s neckline around 1.1680, and finally it spurt up after the NFP release. Target for the double bottom has not been met yet, and it is situated around the 1.21 level. However, taking Fibonnacci into account, we’re around the 38.2% correction level of last downmove (from october 2004), which could provide some resistance for the moment.
Indicators watch : Indicators watch-level 1: USD Bullish (december 30, 2004). Indicators watch-level 2: USD bullish (january, 4, 2005), ), but it shows signs of fatigue at this moment.

Eur/Gbp : At the time of this writing, the pair is trading around the 0.6985 level. The pair dipped well below 0.7 confirming the signs of exhaustion showed by Indicators watch 2, and the fact that was trading out of the uptrend channel for quite a time it proved to weigh on it. It is in no-man’s land at the moment, in the middle of the channel.
Indicators watch : Indicators watch-level 1: EUR negative (change today). Indicators Wacth-level 2 : EUR Negative (jan 3rd).

Indicators watch-Level 1 : Trend indicators Direction.
Indicators watch-Level 2 : Momentum Indicators Direction (working in pairs).

Valdez/ Yes, I see this small correction upward as a buy from the commercial side picking some needed olives as to make sure, rather than the specs taking new postions-for-profit...
Thus I'm letting it mature, after two swims with the flow.

Hi Dolphin, agree. There are legitimate yet conflicting views today in this whirlpool. Dangerous. Knowing money flows is the only way out of this, not charts. I am a chartist by default becuase, unlike martin, I have no money flow information. So that variable, money flow I feel supercedes all of us chart boys. GT to U my friend.

Valdez/ Hi! So it's the early condor that flies off with the chick...

Your long and inspiring post of yesterday's morning, (the Fuji Yama, with a calderon), and some cold weather made me do at least two full hours of studying of the montlhlies on dozens of crosses.

A time frame I almost always avoided.
It was enlighting.

With range lines centered around 13.5 and +- 10%, and EMA at 12... convinces that we haven't seen the low of the euro Friday evening, among others... unless we accept the notion of records over records, before they occur, and without special reasons...

Thus, Thanks!

Bahrain, timing is perfect for a 2 day rally to 1.34-1.36 as you said but that is if this is obeying my model...of 2-6 updown cycles before a 1 month short term trend change. On the other hand 1.29 is still in the running. Two conflicting views, either of which could make you a lot of money or cost you a lot of money if you get on the wrong side with wide stop. I have no ego..my model is just a model..egos are too expensive for my blood.

FWIW usd should turn lower either now or on a probe to a very limted new high. Even if the new trend in the USD higher is the case then at least a significant dip should develop in the week/s ahead. 1.3270 (38.2 fib) min upside on eurusd if Fridays low holds @ 1.3022 holds.

viies/ Hi! After some thourough cheking of the last 777 weekly E/$ candels; nowhere (both sides) is there such a move as last weeks that does not extend into the same direction in the following week or weeks.
Thus, 1.29 is in the pipe.

The retracement from the last days oversold level is an unknown however...

However oversold on D and 4 H, I'd rather wait for Trichet to talk before attempting any thing more than eventual random piping.

Although the euro has broken key support and has room on the downside to 1,2915/25 and maybe 1,2695/05, the daily charts are severly oversold because of the speed of this move. Would not sell anymore at these levels at the moment, but rather look for better levels or some unwinding of indicators.IMHO

good morning world!
short euro from 1,3075. target 1,2950/60.
selling agressivle up to 1,3155.
stop at 1,3164. from there till 1,3285/90 I would like to see developments but basically it is still bearish there also.
key stop and reverse at 1,3294 today. which is 99% sure we dont see it today. first level to sell at 1,3100/05. next at 1,3140/50 area.
downside favoured as long as 1,3285 coontains

Two interesting charts - the GBPUSD based on the short term history continues to want to go very long; basd on the longer term history, it wants to short significantly. I've close my position & will stay out till they start getting along.

Also USDCAD, on the longer history chart, is showing two strongly competing potential paths. Again, I'm out, but it will be interesting watching that one develop.

I can't remember where I read it, but one of the links from fx--street suggested it. I can't find it right now, but I had set an alarm on my platform to inform me of the position and I jumped in. It had an asia range of 1.3085-1.0328

I'm more of a short term player, so I won't be looking for that type of range...

Evidence that recent USD bounce has further to go in coming weeks: USD Index, at 83.42, rose Friday above December peak of 83.18 which triggers double bottom (December troughs); downtrend line from October has broken, weekly oscillators bullish (momentum posted positive divergence, MACD staging bullish crossover). In coming weeks, index has three reasonable targets: 84.94 (38.2% retracement of fall from May 2004 peak), objective of double bottom at 85.40, and top of long-term downtrend channel from early 2002 (now 85.60). reuters news

Well, really 1.3107 should hold it but if it gets near there and stochs and macd's have turned down at the time I will probably hold it still. Watch usd/jpy in asia for clues...104.50/55 should really hold in Asia timeframe and I look for it to long from there. 104.80-105.00 likely in Asia IMO

Australian Dollar Drops on Speculation Economic Growth to Slow

Australian Dollar Drops on Speculation Economic Growth to Slow

Australia's current account deficit -- the broadest measure of international trade because it incorporates trade, services, tourism spending and financial transactions -- is 6.5 percent of gross domestic product. New Zealand's current account deficit as a percentage of GDP is 5.6 percent and the U.S. is 5.8 percent, according to Brian Redican, senior economist at Macquarie bank Ltd. in Sydney.

``Australia's economy is slowing while the U.S. is showing signs of picking up,'' said Darren Heathcote, head of trading at N.M. Rothschild & Sons (Australia) Ltd. ``I've got no plans to buy the currency'' as it will fall to 74 cents in coming weeks.

Trichet, Group of 10 Bankers May Say Dollar Remains Growth Risk
,A HREF="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10001096&sid=atN1txxGM5wk&refer=world_currencies">
link
Trichet currently chairs the G-10 discussions, held every two months under the auspices of the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, which serves the world's central banks. The ECB president said after the group's Nov. 8 meeting that the euro's appreciation against the dollar was ``not welcome.'' The G-10 bankers agreed that global growth will probably slow ``a little'' this year after an ``exceptionally dynamic'' 2004, Trichet said then.

Re. Cable, we are still seeing a strong upward bias & have a lng on. But note that on the chart I am using for guidance there's a growing path bifurcation below. Also, the rails on either side are are very strong, so that I would treat any move outside (to either side) as a signal that the model is no longer valid & needs to be rerun, and the position should be closed.

Hello I hope everyone had a good weekend. I believe Consolidation will be the theme for the beginning of the week as the eur/usd gets a footing and most participants come to play. We shall see how the traders feel about this level for eur/usd pair to sell or to buy will be decided in the next few days. Intraday indicators are in O/S area but the daily indicators still have some more room to go. It is sell on any resistance failure as the key resistance broke. Anything above (3250-80) will change me to buy then. Here are the new levels for this pair.

Resistance for eur/usd pair stands now at 3100-10, 3130-40, 3170-80, 3210-20, 3250-3280, 3310-20, 3340-50, 3380-3400, 3440-50, 3480-90, 3520-40, 3580-3600 and 3650-70. Main target is in the 3750-60 area.
Immediate retracement numbers are 3490-3500, 3390-3400, 3300-10, 3210-20, and 3110-20.
Retracement numbers are 3415-25, 3260-70, 3140-50, 3020-30 and 2865-75
Second wave retracement numbers are 3320-30, 3100-10, 2940-50, 2770-80 and 2555-65 for now key retracement number is 2940-50.
Resistance T/L 3380-90 and 3470-80 Support T/L 3030-40 for now.
Support is around the 3070-80, 3030-40, 2940-50, 2890-2900 and 2850-60 for now key support is around the 2940-50 area IMHO. GL GT
