if the drop in both e/y and g/y are being caused by the drop in cable and euro (as gbp and euro sold vs yen as well as usd,) will that cause $Y to rise as who want to hold yens, especially with weekend followed by holiday a day later? imho think $Y will attempy a run @ 100ma as is above the 50 already.114+ soon. the low level of liquidity may help. any sense here?

New Zealand's economy expanded at a slightly quicker pace than expected in the third quarter but growth lagged the second quarter as household consumption continued to ease, official data released Friday show. Statistics New Zealand said seasonally-adjusted, production-based gross domestic product grew 0.5% on the quarter in the three months ended Sept. 30, compared with the revised 0.8% growth recorded in the second quarter. The statistics bureau said GDP grew 3.3% on the year in the third quarter, compared with 3.2% expected by economists and the second quarter's 3.2% growth.
Service industries continued to underpin growth, the bureau said, rising 0.7%. Finance, insurance, property and business services, as well as transport and communication industries, accounted for over half of the quarter's increase.
Goods-producing industries saw a contraction, down 1.4% from a flat result in the second quarter, but primary industries recorded a 3.9% rise due mainly to production beginning at the Tui oil field, after rising a revised 1.1% in the second quarter. Growth in household expenditure continued to ease, posting a 0.3% rise, below the 0.5% rise recorded in the previous quarter. Domestic spending was up just 0.2% following three previous quarters of strong growth, Statistics New Zealand said. Annual average GDP in the 12 months to Sept. 30 grew 2.7% compared with 2.1% in the 12 months ended June and 1.6% posted in the third quarter of 2006.
Economists had forecast average annual GDP growth of 2.7%.

IF only I could cry for the bankers who actualy prefer to park their hoard of cash in T-Bills even IF it means a net negative return then to loan it out ! But it screams about the massive turn in degree of lack of trust in each other. From a link yesterday on "the other side":
MORTGAGE MELTDOWN
Interest rate 'freeze' - the real story is fraud
Bankers pay lip service to families while scurrying to avert suits, prison ? (sfgate)
"... At stake is nothing short of the continued existence of the U.S. banking system...."
And maybe as if a x-mass gift, earlier this am saw I this headline on AFX (to subscribe, send an EMAIL to Jay):
FDIC proposes bank failure rule changes
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. has proposed rule changes on determining which bank depositors are eligible for up to $100,000 per person in FDIC insurance if a bank fails. .. The FDIC's proposed rules would apply to 159 institutions with $2 billion or more in U.S. deposits, more than 250,000 deposit accounts or total assets of more than $20 billion. ... What prompted changing the rules was industrywide consolidation of many regional banks into larger national players earlier this decade, some with more than $1 trillion in assets, Barr said.
Bank of America Corp. JPMorgan Chase & Co., Citigroup Inc., Wachovia Corp. and Wells Fargo & Co. are the largest U.S. banks by assets, according to FDIC statistics.
In addition, the FDIC is proposing a uniform set of rules that all banks would use to calculate the amount of a bank balance on the day of a failure. ... The FDIC said it "places a high priority on providing access to insured deposits promptly" and said most depositors typically have access to deposits by the next business day after a bank fails.
ya, right. Trust in God = trust at risk of thy' deposits peril.

as a point of reference re Leeson and more money. in reality more money would not have sorted him out as his real position that killed him was not in the Nikkei although that was susbtantial but he was short in JGBs in a multi week triangle breakout that was moving to the the upside off a very substantial low point (ie high in yield). the mistake was not the nikkei nor even the fraud he perpetuated via the false faxes but the major error of not understand the bond market and its relationships vs other assets

A "large" drawdown might be different with different traders.
Some traders might think a minus $1,000 is "large"...Some traders might think a "large" minus might be 10 times that amouint. 100 times that amount, 1000 or more times that amount.
I guess it is all in the mind of the trader.
I don't trade building positions like Zeus does, as I think of that as adding to a losing trade. For me..that is the same as moving my stop.
Having said that, I would bet that Zeus is a heck of a lot more
sucessful at trading as I am !!!
Maybe my attitude in caused by almost getting a margin call trading against the trend, and in the end I lost $3,200 .
Now that probably is not much loss for some traders, but was
40% of my account at the time.
What I am saying is...we are all different and trade different..

A good point..Seriously,Nick Leeson could have made more than a billion Dollars if and only if his bank had another billion when he was adding to his lossers all the way down..Alas,that poor bank was not the Old Lady..Index he was buying all the way down with all the money the bank had, bounced a big way after the demise of that poor bank..It is like Napoleon could have won in Waterloo if and only if he had another fresh ten legions waiting on the flank..Trading is the art of the possible and it is the right strategies at the right time that counts even for a bank or Napoleon too..Then,the Mongolian central bank went bakrupt using Nick Leeson strategy too:)

Well now. It would seem that it would have been the Leeson types buying GBP/USD and "...adding to his lossers all the way down..." not the position builders who took advantage of it.
Just another failed attempt of "making an example out of Zeus" at the exact wrong time.

Thanks Stubbs! Hang in there.

1119 GMT [Dow Jones] The carry trades continue to de-couple from equities, notes a UK-based bank trader. European equity bourses are +0.5% on the day and the futures are calling for a slight positive open for the DJIA and Nasdaq. However, EUR/JPY is trading at the day's low of 162.00 while EUR/CHF is just off the 1.6577 low at 1.6583

EURUSD daily - price is trading below the recent lows 1.4329/24 - this has a immediate target of below 1.42 (1.4125 - Oct 22 low)..
GBPUSD Daily -- I can see the Sept 18 Low = 1.9878 --
then the Aug lows ~1.9650 / 1.9742 which held and Cable bounced off the 200 dma there..

Dec. 20 (Bloomberg) -- New Zealand's North Island was struck by its biggest earthquake in at least 20 years, measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale, the country's seismological monitor said.
The temblor hit today at 8:55 p.m. local time, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) southeast of Gisborne and 400 kilometers southeast of Auckland, the agency, GeoNet, said on its Web site. GeoNet was set up by GNS Science, a state-owned research group, and the government's Earthquake Commission. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued no warnings of a potential tsunami.
``It seemed that we were in a house of cards,'' Paul Fenwick, landlord of the Te Kura Bed and Breakfast in Gisborne, said in a telephone interview. ``I felt sure it was going to fall down any minute.''

China Raises Interest Rates to Nine-Year High to Cool Inflation
By Nipa Piboontanasawat and Li Yanping
Dec. 20 (Bloomberg) -- China raised interest rates for a sixth time this year to cool decade-high inflation in the world's fastest-growing major economy.
The benchmark one-year lending rate will increase to 7.47 percent, a nine-year high, from 7.29 percent, starting tomorrow, the People's Bank of China said today on its Web site. The one- year deposit rate will rise to 4.14 percent from 3.87 percent.

NS .....
I got ur point -- I was watching the daily charts and tried to differentiate when those major MAs act as pivot (price rotating around) - when as support and when we can have a signal of a breach..
what I can say for myself is that price has to bounce off the MA and then come back with momentum to breach it -- this is my reasoning in E/J with 200 dma & G/J with 20 dma..
there I see powerful moves that went off Support (measured by those MAs) - stretched to a Resistance level and with the idea of reverting to the mean those prices will now have enough momentum to lower just like rubbers...

Kapri well said as usual i act as the devil's advocate (though agree with u) .....last time when we broke 161.63 we had broken the 200 dma and moved to sub 159 frm where we bounced back all the way to 165 ....now i don't know which is a false move the up one or the down one ......and if the former is the one then there is a lot of fun in store cheers gl gt

ok - that was my view and I test it: short

ok guys - that was fun..
on G/J as leader - it looks it is right as E/J has lagged and now is probing the 200 dayMA at 162.46 on Daily chart..
well - it's funny since from what i see on G/J it came from the Upper BBand - broke decisevely the 20 dma and it has all the right reasons to go to the lower BB around 223 -- and from there I guess momentum will just push it to test the lows at ~221.50 ---- in reality however it is a difficult task to stick with your view as I had a perfect position..
on E/J -- as AHE excellently called it is the same as it came from top BBand ~165 -- broke the 20 dma - but wha's more important it is breaching now the 200dma (which acted like a pivot from the start of November..) and this double breach should pull it towards the lower BBand around 160.50..
--
however since this is viewed on Daily timeframe - to catch those moves one has to be very confident and trade with a reasonable leverage level - hope I didn't spam too much..

[USD/JPY] and JPY crosses did little in Asia today, relatively bid early on theback of a buoyant stock market and some demand into the Tokyo fix but off intothe afternoon as the early stock market gains were pared back.

With Singapore on holiday and manyforeign players having already left Tokyo for Christmas holidays in homecountries, there was little incentive to trade. USD/JPY continues to see goodoffering interest up to 113.55. Stops are seen above here, 113.75 and presumedoption barriers at 114.00 however, and could become relevant should USD riseagain overnight. Japanese exporter offers should provide some headwind though.
[EUR/USD] did little in Asia as has often been the case recently. Moves wereespecially limited today with EUR/JPY doing very little and the Singapore marketclosed, a hotbed of spec trades. EUR/USD traded a tight 1.4370-91 range, wellwithin the 1.4325-1.4424 parameters set yesterday with offers topside noted asclose as 1.4400-10, highs from overnight, and bidding interest near sessionlows. Stops were seen above 1.4410 and 1.4450 and below 1.4325 and 1.4300.
[The Nikkei] rose early, surging to 15,161.66 before moving lower and intonegative territory to 15,017.97 at one point in the afternoon. It closed at15,031.60, up 1.09 on the day. [TOPIX] closed at 1457.56, up 0.77. Most otherbourses in the region were also lower as of 05:15 GMT.
[JGBs] and [Euroyen] futures traded heavy today with gains seen yesterday paredback. The yield on the benchmark 10-year JGBs traded a 1.480-1.520% range andclosed at 1.515%, up from 1.490% yesterday.

Funny how that works. The lemmings are loud when the market has a slight tick their direction.
slight tick.....my foot !
Any woodduck can see it's an impulsive move not a "slight tick"
which means new High for eurusd, etc......

04:06 JPY News: BOJ Votes Unanimously to Keep Rates Unchanged December 20. The
Bank of Japan kept its overnight call rate target unchanged at 0.5% for the 12th
straight meeting Thursday, as widely expected.
This gives the central bank more time to see if the volatility in financial
markets triggered by the credit crisis will settle down, and whether continuing
weakness in the US housing market poses any downside risk to growth in the US,
one of Japan's most important trading partners. The decision also gives the
central bank time to assess emerging uncertainty about Japanese private demand
following the introduction of stricter building regulations.
The Bank of Japan said the nine members of its policy board voted
unanimously to leave the rate unchanged. Board member Atsushi Mizuno, an
advocate in the past of an early increase, dropped his calls for higher interest
rates. The BOJ will hold its next policy board meeting on January 21-22. pw/ys

Euro's 7000-pip bounce from 0.8 to 1.5 is the long term uptrend with lots of 500-1500 points short term downtrend in the middle. Short term bears are guessing tops to sell and medium term bulls are also guessing tops to scale out. After some weeks, short term bears are guessing bottoms to cover and medium term bulls are also guessing bottoms to scale in again...

Capri-Korn the line hasnt been broken in decisive way
the buy signal on 1hr
so its long
interesting thing about G-Y is the fact that its usually leads the pack in terms of generating the buy/sekk signals , majors eventually follows , probably it has to do with the liquidity

Will be exciting for sure in our celebrations of the USD holiday gift. Oddly, those who were chirping to "not fight the trend" when I was accumulating cheap USD's seem to have been getting sliced apart fighting the "trend" as it strengthened.

censored - was too greedy - missed the exit at loss and reversed to long G/J 226.34...
seems with Nikkei in+ it will translate into buying into the early European session..

I shorted G/J 226.20 on the trend line break but is it because of Nikkei in + territory or cuz it is a non moving asia session I'm kinda dissuaded with this position as it was meant to be a quick move down... so I'm looking to square..

I just cant tell! And under yearend Mkt conditions even harder to guess.
For the near term I can only say for the CHF, that if you see it at 1.1580, good chances you can make 40pips to around 1.1630.
