The SnB has finally pulled their bid on EURCHF after good CPI numbers and apparently spending around 20bln in the last week. EURCHF fell 120pips in a few minutes and we have a new line in the sand at 1.4210
EURUSD is sitting on 5year trendline support at 1.2730/1.2750 and there has been speculation that Trichet may announce some more QE this morning (agreeing to accept any quality Greek paper is already QE). In normal times this might be seen as very EUR negative but with the events of the past month this might be seen as more vigorous action and EUR positive. If the trendline support goes then next support is not really until 1.2330 and the 2007 lows.
Price action is still really volatile and yen crosses look weak after USDJPY failed on the first attempt at 0.95
I was looking for an election rally in Cable to sell, looking for a target of 1.4780 2010 lows to be retested.

USDNOK short stopped out (-1R)

think the SNB has been hit by a sunami....
ReplyDeleteNic,
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think of the dollar at this point?
McF I was expecting a shallow correction here, but I keep being wrong about that.
ReplyDeleteEURUSD which is 50% of the dollar index is in full sell mode and breaking major support now so I think the dollar rally keeps going big time.
thanks Nic, I was thinking the same, given we are pushing on the 61.8, but extended fifth wave may be the route we go anyway.
ReplyDeleteThere is talk the SnB is panicking and might cut rates now we are 141 to stop this ...
ReplyDeleteI should say....we "were" pushing on the 61.8, ha.
ReplyDeleteECB Conference - http://www.thomson-webcast.net/de/dispatching/?ecb_100506_stream_video
ReplyDeleteThx Bear. He looks nervous!
ReplyDeleteHi Nic,
ReplyDeleteCan you please explain (1R, 1.5R), etc in your trade?
thanks
KP
Yeah R is the amount that I risk on a trade.
ReplyDeleteI take profit, or half off when it gets to 3x my risk, and then I take another 1/4 off when it gets to 6x my risk unless it hits major SR before then.
So if I risk 1% of my account and my stop is 40 pips then I will take half off when it gets to 120 pips and I have made 1.5% and the rest keeps running.
Bonds are puking, the EUR will follow
ReplyDeleteWatch CRUDE - at trendline support from the 08 lows ... a breakdown perhaps
ReplyDelete10´s n 30´s turnin back lower
ReplyDeleteMcF .. I think we do have a shallow dollar correction now. We had the presser, the ECB are fiddling while Rome burns but market did not tank so ... perhaps collapse averted for a little while.
ReplyDeleteaud approaching daily 200..
ReplyDeletedow thru support.. oh dear yen may go ballistic
ReplyDeletewell that worked out well
ReplyDeleteWow
ReplyDeleteCrude is taking out that trendline, SnP the same.

ReplyDeleteI only have 1/4 positions left but I might close.
ReplyDeletesome stuff is going to be a tempting buy
I was watching snp but same deal
ReplyDeletestill have everything...sold some more eur aud off channel res n bgt some eurchf.. yeh yeh i know eurchf... but hey stranger things have happenned
ReplyDeleteFrom MrTopStep:
ReplyDeletesounds crazy but Hearing Citi's program desk had an e-mini program error. Meant to sell $16mm of the e-minis but put in $16bln instead.
haha good luck with EURCHF
ReplyDeleteriskin 40 pips on 50 k... no biggy
ReplyDeletethere has been some significant damage done to these charts. We arent just going to reverse this like we have done before...but i have been wrong before... still, I think that either Spain or the UK will be the next.. this is just the start.
ReplyDeleteThis guy complaining on bloomberg must have been absolutely dusted. Personally i think it was Goldmans that was short n caused it...hehe
ReplyDeleteWell we bounced hard after 1987 but that was different. I think we retest these lows at least.
ReplyDeleteWonder what Asia will make of this tonight.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen gbpyen lose so much in a day - down some 850 pips at one stage??!!
ReplyDeleteYeah it was crazy Dan. I don't think this is over either.
ReplyDeletewhat a crazy day. Lots of nice trades Nic. Congrats. Love your blog.
