EUR/GBP now certainly looks more interesting as target for short above 91 level, especially as today's EURO data (unemployment, PMI, etc) came in better than expected on top of expectation of some support on Greece (smile smile), while UK's PMI data came in weaker to add to the overall problems.

Will it aim for around 0.9165 region, which happens to coincide with 1) upper bollinger band on the weekly chart plus 2) 23.6% on f-retracement between June 09 low and Oct 09, 3) plus the Nov 09 high. Does it have legs to breach this? If it does, would it aim for the Oct 09 high?

@Peggy: This is why I have given up trading EUR/GBP, at least for the moment.
Had a small old underwater long position that I closed today for a 5 pip loss, only to see it climb another 35 pips or so :-) [I thought it was just about to turn round and head south, to I took my opportunity). Still, it was worth the actual plus potential pip loss to get shot of it, to be honest.

Gosh darnit, just when I think about shorting eurgbp the Gold-crew mucks it up for me. If I go long, they'll pull the rug from underneath it and just when I short they'll push it another 100 pips higher. I give up!

What is propping EURGBP up are the fools fleeing GBP run into EUR. When the rest of the PIGS hit euro, the fools will then sell EURGBP, estroying euro, while propping GBP.

WTF? EURGBP gaps higher and stays near 0.9000. What is propping this POS up. Just when you think it's getting toppy it goes higher. This market is so rigged!

I agree with @Pippedoff. I plan to continue selling into any major rallies.


I'm impressed by EUR/GBP! (but in the current climate I would _not_ attempt to predict further moves; if you twisted my arm I'd say get ready to short it, but I won't be doing).

@Pip why go long something which is in such a severe downtrend. Greece is only the first. What happens when the truth regarding Italy, Spain, Portugal, etc comes "public". If GOLD9man) had a hand in falsifying and hiding the truth through making billions in commissions on swaps in Greece, you bet your hinnie that they were also doing the same throughout the remainder of euroland.

Rally? It's already rallied 200 pips off it's lows two trading days ago.

I am inclined to go long the Euro/Usd as a bounce is due. At least to the 1.3800 area. Then hopef will short it again in line with the Hot Chart . Guys is anyone else thinking to Buy Eur/Usd this week
