EURUSD Discussions

Recommended Posts

Even if the low inflation prints in the Eurozone and UK arent low enough to exactly inspire action from their respective central banks, there will still be similar money flows to those current coming out of Japan. As the USA starts to look better, and rates rise across the curve rise globally as we saw over the summer... US rates will rise faster than UK and Eurozone rates, becuase UK and Eurozone rates will remain anchored by the very low inflation.

 

Money will go to where the rates are the highest for the lowest risk... USD.

 

I'm looking at the next week with RBA, ECB and BOE coming with interest rate decisions and the ECB seems to be the one that should point towards more easing (not rate cut, but dovish language at least).........watch out for LTRO's or negative rates discussions.......reason for that is loans to corporations to minimum in last 3-4 years...means tough business environment and points towards slow growth, if any......

 

does this mean eurusd will head down on the long run? not really.........but curious about how the ECB will act next week.

eurusd is not defiitely not heading down but the probabilities are highly likely.

USD is a much much stable currency and US is a much stable economy than eurozone.

If i look at the chart i already see eurusd in over-bought zone with traders buying it i anticipation of a euro bailout or low unemployment figures but their possibility is also highly unlikely.

I am looking at a totally opposite picture........usd in big trouble: debt ceiling, qe, raising interest rates (in your dreams!!!), etc.....so lower all over the board......however, there is no straight line so we need a correction.....I will buy eurusd dips

This should be a good week to evaluate the EURUSD as its hasn't been able to clearly break the 1.36 level. I think dropping well below 1.35 is very realistic with the amount U.S Data that will be released. The big question is, will the data only influence short term on the pair or will the trend reverse going on to next week. On the down side 1.3465 will be a key level to look out for at its a sturdy support & a clean break above 1.36 should push it back to Oct highs at about 1.38 in the near term.

It seems ECB keep pressuring to implement taper in upcoming FOMC.

If US do so, eurozone blabbers will come out to add more firepower into bear to protect next support.

I really don't like the eurusd at these levels but markets have their way into pushing things to extremes so I wouldn't be surprised to see it moving a bit higher.......NFP today will clear some fundaental uncertainties though

After NFP and "mixed" reaction to it we have quite unclear situation...

The main support for now is 1.3628, as long as price is above it I expect slow upward movement. Next strong resistance is 1.3803, but I really do not expect E/U will touch it on Monday.

I will go Long around 1.3677 with SL 1.3655 and TP 1.3733, but I will move SL to BE ASAP (max 30pips).

Market is gearing up for possible QE tempering in Jan 2014

Once this is done both Euro and Cable will come down to parity or closer to true worth.

To me irregardless of Feds actions Euro is heading to new crises with Greece,Spain,Italy particularly with Greece which is due to replay 10b debt but so far all the austerity measures made whole lot of people unemployed and mad.Something ugly is going to happen.

Start from 2008 crisis: we had 3 QEs each followed by a wave of EURUSD uptrend, then 2 Greek crisises(and of course Portugal/Ireland/Spain/Italy) each followed by a wave of sharp EURUSD decline to the 1.2 region.

 

Now we are close to the end of QE3 and ECB banking supervision/SRM/Great stress test, doesn't it make sense that another wave of downward wave is about to start.

 

Look closely, QE2 coupled with Trichet 1%-1.5% hike only bring EURUSD to 1.49 which was the high achieved by QE1. Then QE3, albeit much bigger than previous 2 QEs only followed with a relatively mild EURUSD appreciation. This price action points to some longer term economic trend. The bull run from 2002 to 2008 overlap with a period of higher growth in EU compare to US, now this is reversed as well, US is slowly getting back to a reasonable growth while EU is in a troubled status.

 

Technically the EURUSD is running towards the long term downward top trendline, it looks like a bearish triangle is forming, and that's a bearish reversal pattern, normally followed by a break to the downside.

 

All these factors points to a longer term trend reversal of the 2002 to 2008 bull run back towards the downside. While timing is still uncertain, the direction is relatively clear.

 

The market can be irrational and EURUSD can run up, but not very far, higher exchange rate do feedback to the real economy, especially troubled economy which is in a recovery states. The price action mentioned above not only is a reflection of the longer term real growth differential that's reversed to the US favor, it is probably also points to the continuation of the down trend of 2011-2012 and a rather sharp decline of EURUSD to a much lower level.

Do you guyzz think it could reach 1,36? I think 1,356x could be reached in the next weeks (it's the mid between the 3-months low, 1,3295 touched on Nov 7th, and the 3-month high, Oct 25th's 1,3832)...

If the 1.37586 isn't breached (0.50 Fibo from 1.3624) in my opinion it would go for 1.3892 again to test

So A nice Long here on EU with tight SL

 

nahh....bearish eurusd going into the 2014 but what the heck........year's end flows are really impressive this year.......anyways, it's all about the eurjpy in my opinion

Yes offcourse its bearish as a whole but the way it surged to that 1.38 zone was impressive, technically may get another upward rush be it for just a small duration like for a couple of days or so...

BTW The median of calls/puts is around 3600, with low 3300 and high 3950. So most people see 3950 as the top of this bull trend. Options traders at trading desks only see low 3300 in Jun 2014.

The weekly finale is the always unpredictable NFP report. This month it is expected to come in at 195K new hires. We normally wish to wait for the NFP and then look for a trade, but this is a busy data week. With the possibility that ECB President might be forced to act because of the deflation threat, we are inclined to sell the euro versus the USD in the 1.37 area. If the trade does not show profit ahead of Friday it will be best to liquidate, and wait for the NFP report. As always, manage your money.

closed all my EU shorts at 3560

8 of them 11% gain on account

 

really nice move, congrats

 

eurusd bears must scratch their heads as euro back above 1.36......Draghi was a pain in the A today but markets in the end realized we're not trading here the Euro, but the eurusd as a pair......so sell the usd has been the theme as we're back at the highs

I see further downward pressure on the EURO.

 

There are also euro-skeptics that doubt the ECB has done the best it can to stoke their recovery. In the Telegraph today Ambrose Evans-Pritchard had some interesting comments:

 

"Mario Draghi removed the risk of an Italian and Spanish debt collapse in July 2012 by securing Berlin's support (through Asmussen) for an emergency backstop. People talk of this as if it were magic. All that happened is that the ECB stepped up to its responsibilities as a lender-of-last resort, as it should have done from the beginning.

 

But monetary policy remains passive and contractionary, arguably incubating another nasty surprise. Broad M3 money has been flat for six months. Business lending has fallen by

3.9pc over the last year. There will less fiscal drag in 2014 as austerity eases, but the eurozone is doing almost nothing to generate its own internal growth. Europe is once again relying on the rest of the world to pull it along, and the world may not oblige.

 

.....Far from building a base for recovery, the eurozone has wasted the last five years of global expansion holding together a dysfunctional currency union, lurching from crisis to crisis. The result has a been double-dip recession and a worse macro-outcome for the same European states than in the comparable years from 1930 to 1935.

Europe is one external shock away from a full-blown deflation trap, and one recession away from an underlying public and private debt crisis. Nothing has been resolved."

      Hi GUYS, Happy Wednesday!
      I'd like to share daily forex analysis from Followme, hope this information helps your trading.
      Today, Let's focus on AUD and NZD.
      AUDUSD is trading at 0.6761; the instrument is moving below Ichimoku Cloud, thus indicating a descending tendency. The markets could indicate that the price may test the cloud’s downside border at 0.6765 and then resume moving downwards to reach 0.6635. Another signal to confirm further descending movement is the price’s rebounding from the descending channel’s upside border. However, the scenario that implies further decline may be canceled if the price breaks the cloud’s upside border and fixes above 0.6825. In this case, the pair may continue growing towards 0.6905.

      So I've been 18 for about 4 months, since I turned 18 I started up an account, and basically thought I was doing amazing because of beginners luck, put in some of my savings and managed to do well, some days I would make £200, one day I even made £900, after time I lost my profits and made a loss as well. I've realised I need to spend the time analysing the market and making technical judgments. I'm trying to read more and spend a lot of my time looking at the charts. is there any advice people can give me. and is making 5% a week a realistic goal to set myself? before anyone assumes that im looking for a get rich quick scheme, im certainly not, I see every loss ive made as a lesson and ensure that I learn from each mistake I make. 
      any advice about indicators, strategies, how to analyse the market, or even analysing earning reports would help me.

      Firebird is an indicator to identify the price spikes in the market. Firebird indicator first calculates a 10-period moving average, then shifts this moving average a certain percentage above and below the 10-period moving average. The shifted averages are drawn on chart as the red and green line. When price touches these lines, price spike is identified. Usually after a price spike, the trend reverses for some time. The indicator can be used to take advantage of this price behaviors. In daily chart usually the 10 period MA is shifted by 2 percent to form the price bands. On lower time frames like Hourly, Four Hour a smaller percentage price shift is used like 0.5% . The important consideration here is most of the price bars must be contained within the upper and lower bands.
      When price reaches above the upper red band, a sell position is opened. When price reaches the lower green band, buy position is opened. Trades can be managed with proper stop loss and take profit. In the picture, Firebird indicator is attached to daily chart of EUR/USD with 2% shift on MA. Note that almost all price bars are within the price bands. And when price extends beyond these bands, price trend reverses and comes back into the bands.

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
