Hey Ashraf,

Good luck on the Shorty awards - I certainly prefer your tweets over...

Anyhow, interesting about EUR/CAD, that it can't keep falling. Now, how about EUR/AUD? The two charts basically look the same. Do you see a better long play in EUR/CAD because of oil lately? How about longs in EUR/AUD from risk aversion. It's funny how they trade the same - I guess they both respect/disrespect the EUR the same way. Thanks

chloe rob

USDJPY is falling victim to overall yen strength so that long USDJPY trade from friday is totally finished. anyone looking to buy USD better do it against eur, gbp and cad. As for the 95 yen target in USDPY, if you remember i did say without a decline to 90.50 so any aspiring longs now ought to have stops below 90.50.

Hi Ashraf,

Thoughts on USD/JPY would be appreciated. With the VIX gap down, and possibly ready for a spike - would you hold off on going long USD/JPY? Or is there a level you'd prefer to wait to go long? OR, shorting is also a thought, but my bias is to go long. Thanks

Ashraf-I believe eur should be lower. However, at least for this upcoming European session, eur will catch it's usual bid and grind up for 4-5 hours to test or exceed yesterday's highs.

At some point in the next two months, with all this complaceny abound, equities will turn lower and these mo-mo players will bail out of eur and gdp. Don't know when that will occur, or what will spark it, or even where eur and gbp will be when this occurs.

It just appears at the moment eur is well bid, and gbp rides the coattails.

Thanks for asking.

Xaron, what i said was that 1.38 is more like 80% chance (yes thats aggressive) but if we do GET THERE im not at all sure we could hit below 1.30. stocks would have to be doing badly. Earnings disappointments and Nervouness over Fed exit strategy may not be good ingredients.

Thanks Asad,

Pipped off, so whats YOUR optinion on the EURUSD.

So many gaps to fill. We're not even where we closed on Friday yet on any pair.

Hello Ashraf, I am planning to go long in the USD/CAD currency pair and would your input on it; my questions is parity sustainable or not? Thinking of going long at around 1.025 with a stop at 1.00; I am not heavily leveraged.

Thanks
