Hey NS// New house not yet purchased (nor found). Fortunately we have other arrangements.
I bailed my long EUR this morning as it started to get mucky to me as well. My instinct tells me its likely to remain pressured today and not see much real trending move untill 1.4780 and 1.4580 brackets are tested. Since we are on the high end if you had to trade it i suppose it would be short. The beast looks like it may be attempting a bust upward, if the figures are to help one would suspect that it would also aid the Eur.
On the longer term basis i am still bearish dollar so i am looking for lowere eur levels to buy into if seen.
Good trades to you my friend.

I'm trying to get some good advise and ofcourse to have same perception on eur/usd.
Are u guys get long on eur/usd? or short on eur/usd?
The US ADP is falling down under the previous level. And the initial jobless claims fell down also. Which one impact the non farm payroll.There's one data have make me confuse. Initial jobless claim or jobless claim to have a big impact on strong/week usd?
In my perception, ADP fell down, Initial jobless claim rise up, US non farm payroll should be fell down, and USD get weak vs eur, gbp or aud.But when ADP fell down, initial jobless claim fell down, US non farm payroll should be rise up, and storng USD.
What about u guys..?I need ur comments on this...

Hello Nyam - I have read many of your posts - you make some nice trades - keep up the good work
Question though: why put on this order before NFP - the stop can be taken on a whip within the first few minutes after the data - then move your way.
I know you have not traded past few days - why not just wait one more hour - see which way the wind blows - then make the trade
Good luck

Yes am prepared to buy and hedge if it triggers. Levels are dynamic but right now that looks like 1.9744 area for a swing/scalp higher then SAR lower.
Otherwise if that upper trigger does not fire will add to core shorts if 1.9677 gets taken for a push lower then SAR higher as a hedge on the core.
Either way a rally is coming 100% for sure.
As for gold I'd keep an eye on Comex contracts at 863 for a SAR.
Oil is a buy buy buy at any level under $100 for a crack higher
Looks like Yen will not continue to strengthen today. More likely to weaken.

Households and businesses face a "debt famine" this year, experts warned last night after the Bank of England reported a sharp drop in banks' willingness to lend cash.
The worrying news "significantly" raises the likelihood of the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee cutting interest rates to 5.25pc as soon as next week in an effort to prevent economic growth sliding into negative territory, economists said. It also underlines the gloomy fate facing the housing market, where prices are already falling.

Simple computation from chart gazing and other calcu. shows that canadian is targeting the range [0.9450,94.80] I mean for those who may be willing to wait he he. The condition is that CAD will not break above 99.70 (or Yday high).
This view for CAD will get reinforcement if euro will break above 1.48, as the CAD will track it. The first target for euro than may even reach to 1.52++
The difference between the two currencies is, that the Euro is an overvalued technical-entity where the CAD is a single currency with some fat in it.
A little bit longer view(hope until end of Jan) CAD can develop an impulse price even down to 0.9170. that if happens may fit for euro at about 1.60. On top of all the interest paid for CAD on deposits is good enough to bring buyers.

............................................. It was wise to buy CAD today though I dont make it a call for people to buy now.............................
_________________________________________________________
I want to add today one more thing which is only a general statement. That the US economy is looking like responding fast positively to the weakening of the USD, so lot of order for export will emerge and inflow of forex for cheaper priced investments. That will benefit the CAD. In case of weakening USD the higher commodities contribute too. Good or bad US economy the CAD, looks a good bet, actually better than all other commodity currencies.
