Euro Debt Crisis

Recommended Posts

no no, you get me wrong......like in the eurjpy live trade I posted the other day.......the analysis comes from the higher time frames (monthly, weekly) but on that 4h chart the counting shows where are we supposed to be on that time frame.........and I trade that time frame or even the 1h chart, with SL and TP based on that one.........the support and resistance areas from the higher timeframes I take them into consideration when price reaches them.......but trading the lower time frames count.........too confusing?

 

A little bit yes :)

 

Can you post few step-by-step graphs?

Despite minutes from the Fed's June meeting showing half of its policymakers think its monthly $85B stimulus program should be cut by the end of 2013, Bernanke's message was enough to snap markets back into buying mode.

 

Nonetheless, Bernanke's comments were taken by the markets as much more dovish so I suspect it be good to trade puts especially on the DAX and the FTSE100.

 

We are still in a bit of a sweet spot for equity markets. The US economy is recovering steadily and this is an encouraging sign for equity markets with future earnings expected to be good, but it is not hot enough to cause the Fed to scale back the stimulus...

Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank, said the euro zone had stabilized markedly in the last year as he offered an ever so slightly more upbeat assessment of the prospects for growth. But he indicated that the fragile state of the euro zone economy means that any decision to raise interest rates is still a long way off.

Most likely nothing, actually is the better description - for both.

 

Neither want to acknowledge debt problems and are "kicking the can" down the road.

 

is there any other way?.....I don't think so....so let's kick it still for a couple of more decades and still call it we're in a crises......regardless the type (euro, debt ceiling, etc)

Very little likelihood we can keep it going beyond a couple more years.

 

I'll take my chances rather than wait for "inevitable" to happen......Greece was inevitably falling no more than 1.5 years ago.......same Spain..........and so on

 

so I would rather do something constructive in the meantime......like buying equities :)

Personally i have the same analysis, however im more concern over the time line. The Feds tapering is not a concluded matter. Basically, they could start tapering as early as November just to see how markets are going to react to it ! Then, they take it from there .. Do you really think , anyone will talk about tapering , while a second government shut down & debt ceiling as early as Feb 2014 ? The bond markets will be a sell off. In Euro's defense, it wasn't a honey moon month also. Italy's government was on the brink of a crisis , Greece about to ask for the third bail out tranch, there is no elected government yet in Germany and exposure to Syrian - new Iraq reality. However, all in all he Euro is in better shape than one year ago. So i see your point there !

 

In my opinion, now is the time for a Rate cut - not an LTRO ... why Dragni is holding on? I have no idea, are they expecting Euro to reach higher? Is it German opposition? Or growing feeling that Europe is recovering and no need for extra measure.

 

So, in 6 Months from now its more than possible...........

oh but they won't cut the rates.......the reallocation into the euraud pair for example has been tremendous lately and it will continue.....if you think the pair traveled from the 1.17 area only to pierce the 1.50 level by 30 pips and then to go on free falling.......I don't think so and 1.50 is here to stay and it will be touched again.

 

same bullish story on eurnzd, eurcad, and even on eurusd.....so technicals do not favor a rate cut as it is priced in on the market now, and fundamentals neither, as a rate cut would undermine the work ECB did so far......why firing the last bullet they have when conditions are relative stable in terms of currency fluctuations (I mean a coridor of 1000 pips is ok for any central bank)........so the key will come from the US

Moody's warns on Euro zone banks

 

The credit rating agency reported that EU bank capital and profits will remain pressured in 2014 due to the effects of the European debt-crisis lingering on for sometime.

 

The bank outlook is mixed with the credit quality of peripheral EU nations softening.

yeah, lately European banks have been also warned by the ECB to make sure they are preparing for when the Fed will unwind the QE

 

so something is coming....storm or just bad weather?

    • 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.
