2012 will the year that the consequences of the choices made by nations of the so-called developed world will begin to truly manifest themselves in the economic realm. We are in the closing chapters of the current Debt Supercycle, with different countries strewn out along the path, some at more advanced stages than others but all headed for a destination that will force major decisions if politically painful actions are not taken.

Dr. Qindex, with euro mid term target 1.18xx, that should coincide with eurjpy 75 as some already suggested here?
================================================
EUR/JPY : I have no idea why we should see 75 when EUR/USD is down to 75. There are several good supporting points down the road. I have to wait and see when EUR/JPY is below the barriers at 92.29 // 96.38.

Goldman's Stolper Speaks, Sees EUR Downside To 1.20
Reply
Time To Go All In?
By now Zero Hedge readers know that there is no better contrarian signal in the world than Goldman's Tom Stolper: in fact it is well known his "predictions" are a gift from god (no pun intended ) because without fail the opposite of what he predicts happens - see here. 100% of the time.
Which is why, following up on our previous post identifying the record short interest in the EUR and the possibility for CME shennanigans any second now, it was only logical that Stolper would come out, warning of further downside to the EURUSD (despite having a 1.45 target).
To wit: "With considerable downside risk in the short term, within our regular 3-month forecasting horizon, the key questions are about the speed and magnitude of the initial sell-off. If we had to publish forecasts on a 1- and 2-month horizon, we could see EUR/$ reach 1.20. In other words, we expect the EUR/$ sell-off to continue for now as risk premia have to rise initially."
In yet other words, if there is a clearer signal to go tactically long the EURUSD we do not know what it may be.

Euro Shorts Surge To New Record High
Reply
Is An EC Margin Hike Approaching?
Overall, this means that FX specs are not playing relative currencies off each other, but are piling into a global European short.
Which leads us to the following precautionary observation: just like when a price collapse in gold is required, usually enacted by the reflexive relationship between futures and the underlying, in the form of a margin hike, we wonder how long before Europe, or even the Fed which most certainly does not want a strong dollar, directs the CME to hike EC maintenance margins by some ungodly amount.
Because whatever works to keep paper gold weak will most certainly help to keep the dollar even weaker.
And with a net drawdown of nearly 250,000 contracts from EUR highs in April to current lows, a EUR margin hike may have as profound an impact as QE, considering the massive amount of shorts currently holed up and demanding the collapse of Europe.

Contingency Planning
with the cat out of the bag and the public warned to "prepare for euro break-up", look for a three-day week-end in which to do it and expect all the neferious crisis consequences the financial, economic and political sophisticates warn about would be coming.
For reference, history shows that in In 1933 US took a "bank holiday" of nearly two weeks, in which insolvent institutions were reorganised.

Bling Boom Fearful Investors Stash Money in Luxury Goods - Spiegel
..."People are becoming increasingly cautious about entrusting their hard-earned money to the banks," says Rolf BĂĽrkl of market research institute GfK. It has yet to become a mass movement"....
So far the peddlers of Keynesian funny money prescription are still in the drivers seat as they try resolve investor crisis of confidence in their fiat money. That crisis of confidence has yet to hit Joe Publics - who seems, for a variety of reason, to learn slowly, painfully and with struggle.
Currently US appears to be "benefitting" from European wows. Has european crisis contagion effect been successfully fire-ringed and is it now quaranteed to Europe immunizing NA financial market and economy ?
That may turn out to be the motherload trade: correctly timing market shift of attention from Europe to Washington and Wallstreet and the respective policy and finance confidence issue.
A more general crisis of confidence in global financial claims has yet to reach fevered pitch, one that would set off panic dumping of fiats and buying of hard assets as reliable stores of value.
In the meantime "Anyone whose salary crossed a certain threshold, Lagerfeld demanded, should have to spend a certain sum in the shops. He said he hated people who hoard money." are not just entertaining but also a warning of things to come. Hide your wealth.

EUR/USD : Critical Point 1.2797
It is a significant move when the market closed below the critical barrier at 1.2797 // 1.2950. The monthly cycle directional indicator suggests that speculative selling pressure will increase when the market close below [1.2493] in the New York session. The monthly cycle charts indicate that heavy selling pressure is required to push the market from 1,2877 down to 1.2345. The medium term targeting point is 1.1812.

The bias is on the downside when the market closed below 1.2797 in the New York session. The weekly cycle pivot centres are located at 1.2561 - 1.2781 - 1.2957. A resistant barrier has been established at 1.2766 // 1.2789. A supporting barrier is expected at 1.2561 // 1.2584. Speculative selling pressure will increase when the market downward trending momentum is strong enough to penetrate through the critical point at 1.2516. Sell on rallies is still the preferred trading strategy. The medium term targeting range is 1.2247 // 1.2306.

The bias is on the downside when the market is not able to close above 1.3087 in the New York session. The upside trading range is 1.2950 - 1.3087 and the downside targeting range of 1.2290 - 1.2415. Basically the market is going to be range bound between a lower barrier of 1.2247 // 1.2306 and a resistant barrier of1.3075 // 1.3090.

exactly, so long term means Azumi finally realises that it is a losing battle trying to intervene every now and then, best is to let the market decide the direction and that means eurjpy freefall to 75 and usdjpy 65 are both very much in the cards this year, keep playing from short side

No euro intervention yet, Azumi hints
Finance Minister Jun Azumi said Friday the government is monitoring the euro's decline over the "long term," indicating he sees no immediate need to intervene in the currency markets to stem the yen's appreciation.
"We are now closely watching developments in the foreign exchange market," Azumi said. "I believe we must watch (the euro's fall) over the long term."
