agree with your assesment.

however, eyes on this chart as well as other charts would have "folks" loading up on puts. then there's the Sell-in-May aphorsim, so lot'so them are in profit.

let's see how the week plays out...options expiry for May...as it seems the hook has been set.

At the moment Futures are quivering in anticipation of a "bounce".

Sheep shearing time....overnight Risk-On?

Let's See

SPY (133.65)>>> Through some pretty good support levels. Additionally, pattern looks like a Head and Shoulders Top. Not perfectly uniform, but fits the overall pattern of a Top. Measuring objective is near 125. So, at least another 6% or so decline likely to unfold in SPY. Trend system is in bear mode and ADX turning up strongly. Above 136.50 now is needed to negate potential downside.

Best of Luck out There!

thanks for the kind post FM, i'm currently in short small and planning to add if we close below 1.6. (below TL and 61.8%). just being disciplined following my setup though have been really shaken. But it happens at times and the trades you don't take after a series of losses usually happen to the bigest winner. GL mate

And that is good for economy: banks make money trading and customers lose money trading(as no money is created). Banks have more capital, so they can lend more. Customers have less capital, so they borrow more. Bankers get big bonuses, so they can buy luxury goods, so luxury good are sold. There must be market segmentation...
Lending/borrowing creates money. When money is created, everybody(expect Austrian school economists) is happy. Period.
Enjoy... :-))

AUD and NZD Outlooks: Eurozone politics will remain a market focus for a few more weeks, the forthcoming Greek elections extending the period of uncertainty with risk-averse implications. Today’s Australian wage costs data is minor, but the FOMC minutes and Fed member Bullard’s speech on the economy and monetary policy will be watched.

NEW YORK (MNI) - A third round of "quantitative easing" is not
something Federal Reserve policymakers are eager to undertake, but the
odds of QE3 could increase considerably to the extent that Europe's debt
crisis reintensifies and threatens to worsen U.S. financial conditions
and undermine economic growth, officials say.

Sell EURUSD
Entry: Target: Stop:

EUR/USD : The bias is on the downside when the market closes below the critical point at 1.2797 in the New York session. Sell on rallies is the preferred trading strategy. The monthly cycle charts indicate that EUR/USD is heading towards 1.2665. The odds are good that the downside trending momentum will be strong enough to penetrate through 1.2600 mark. It is likely that the market will tackle the weekly cycle lower limits at 1.2441 / 12452(see details at lower part of my webpage).

Key areas to watch: "Russia" — which until 1800 was still pocked by various Khanates; "Germany," which until the mid-19th century consisted of two dozen principalities; and "the Balkans," which lose their independence in 1453 and do not regain it until the 20th century.

If you thought Europe was fractious now, this shows that Europe was literally fractured for hundreds of years

We don't often comment on the D.O.G. Index, but the recent increase in USD purchasing power has been remarkable in the short life of this index. It suggests a loss in U.S. export competitiveness, but also a reduction in inflationary pressures.

Risk appetite plunged after Greece formally announced that it failed to form a government paving the wave for fresh elections in June. The EUR/USD hit fresh 4-month lows below 1.2775 as a result with peripheral yields widening. Germany Fin Min Schauble commented afterwards that new elections would not alter Greece's situation and the country needed a government that could make decisions.

Pravda has nothing on the Yanks. TIC data was just released today and it was dismal. Not only is the U.S. NOT attracting funds, money is actually leaving the country. The 12 months accumulated data show that annual accumulated flows into the country have halved, though obviously it seems whatever flows were seen 12 to 11 months ago have now actually been reversed. Money is NOW LEAVING the States. This lack of capital inflow explains why the U.S. economy has been so weak. With no money coming in.... the economy falls over.

And where has this been reported in the various U.S. news wires?? Er, nowhere. What are they going to do put it in small print at the bottom of some report or something??

As long as the FX market is largely 'on the margin' and essentially speculative (with trading at something like 1000 times global annual GDP it can ONLY be speculative), this type of reporting can have an impact on FX rates. That is if it is not reported we can all pretend that the USD is a safe haven and speculative accounts can be encouraged to buy USDs. It won't do much for the economy or other less speculative financial markets though. At some point though this 'strategy' will blow up. Timing is everything, but the risks aren't where we are led to believe they are.

TIC, TOC.... the bomb is ticking.

One element which is never discussed in my opinion is over-trading. It is unreasonable to expect that a trader will generate a profit from a trade every day, yet we tend to adopt that approach to trading.

----___________________________________________

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) posted one day of trading losses in the first quarter, according to a quarterly regulatory filing.
The loss was up to $25 million, the firm said.

Goldman's quarter compares to Morgan Stanley (MS), which had four days of losses but two days of gains between $150 million and $200 million.

Bank of America Corp. (BAC) had a perfect trading quarter, with no losses and gains greater than $100 million on five days.
