JP - I agree; there's been lots of stories about how online retail brokers (like e-trade) are booming. I expect to see the NYT next year as full of stories of folks who blew the remains of their buyouts/pensions/savings on the stock market as they are now of feckless people who were 'forced' into sub-prime...

I disagree that market is ignoring super $ printing. A good fundamental indicator (ya, one needs a little longer time horizon than a day trade and a deper pocket than a 30 pip stoploss) was highlighted by Bloomberg on April 24
Not everyone shares Bernanke visions of "green shoots". Some are thinking he is hallucinating: ".... While the Standard & Poorβs 500 Index climbed 28 percent from a 12-year low on March 9, CEOs, directors and senior officers at U.S. companies sold $353 million of equities this month, or 8.3 times more than they bought, data compiled by Washington Service, a Bethesda, Maryland-based research firm, show. ...."

I think you noticed too the Symmetric triangle on the CHF.
In longer term that can be a black hole for any one long on CHF.

Maybe I am the only one in vertigo, but seems to me, it is allout for a vicious USD bull next week.
Seems the Mkt ignores fundamentals like super $ printing.

For guidance, as we do a lot of position taking out of weekly charts... here to follow up and eventually to add what our friend Gooner is doing....2 main points.... AUDUSD we need to see lower print that 6636 and USDCHF we need to see higher print than 11935... can take a while... but most of the time it is done in a matter of 6 to 9 weeks .... in AUDUSD it is already almost overdue.... lets wait and see and to all excellent trading...

Entry: Target: Stop:
AUD/USD : Critical Support 0.7436
The market shows an early sign of weakness when it closed below the daily cycle reference at 0.7565 β 0.7601 β 0.7779 on last Friday in the New York session. It is likely that the market will challenge the supporting range of 0.7436 β 0.7457 on Monday and the odds are good that the market will shift lower to the next trading range of 0.7263 β 0.7351.
