too low;too long mantra been chanted for a little too long now. my concern is, and in the past few months, there were increased speculation that the rates would start to raise sooner than later... now, I can't figure out if that's changed,, ie, if the market is reading "too long" as "forever" literally.

Ashraf,
Thanks for the comment. Not a good one but surly not that bad. Not every prediction will work out for big profit. I understand that. keep on your good work!

littlesnow, surely a bad call on AUDNZD. but the ongoing selloff could breach below 1.28 as the technicals are deteriorating.

Farzan, CAD fundamentals are looking better but regarding USDCAD, Im hesitant to call a breach below parity at this point. Canadians could against start to talk down CAD. So Im basically indicating that USD has more upside ahead of it but NOT against CAD and CHF.

Callum, US NFP was better than exp (losses were less than exp) an dhad it not been for the snow, it would have been even better. The discount rate will be raised again (due to its spread with the FedFunds as seen in earlier IMT). And so will china.

Westpac's target of 93 in March looking like closer than ever now that AUDUSD breached above 92 handle... Is this break above 92 a big deal?

Just curious whether traders are propping ASX until it reaches 5,000 level?? Kudos to those Westpac guys this month!

I am also curious if there is some fundamental shift here given that this month neither good jobs at NFP, retail nor relatively predictable FOMC mounted a significant rally in the USDX unlike earlier months this year??

Hey Ashraf, I am long on USD/CAD at 1.0317 and want to know if I should hold on to it or not? My stop loss is at parity.

AUD/NZD short has not been a very good set up as calling is under 12900. It has gone up more than 200pips and the holding interest will add nearly another 200pips till now. Maybe good for trading without leverage...

One thing for sure, hoping and praying doesn't affect the actual behaviour of the market, it will do what it will do. Caps are nothing but resistance levels, and they may or may not hold, just like support. I didn't lose any money on shorts the last few weeks, but all of us have experienced that at some point I would imagine. Predicting is one thing, trading is another, and it requires careful observation of actual behavior, including quick trend reversals. And never forget the reality of Randomness, it is a bigger factor than most traders would like to believe.
