no my ye target was not met but came close enough. There is no strength in EUR to be seen only a weakness in USD ... so a few more days and a lot of EZone govt bond issues wait to be sold and rollover to be rolled over. No reason to be bullish on EUR. I hold no positions in EUR
all sold. Wait for asia fx on 2nd of Jan it makes no snese to judge anything from moves in a very thin market.

just checking the market and dropping by before new year.. :)
been away for christmas..

it seems catnip's yearend target of 1.20 or 1.27 of ashraf's still have to wait...

well... asharaf's view for Aud,CHF,and gold definitely moving the other way... as for Euro.. we still have to see...

Euro would likely face some stiff resistance around 1.34 level... if it manages to settle above that level... would be going for 3650/3690 target.... let's see how it behaves...

happy new year to all!

And that fume is likely to continue into all of Monday as Asian markets open with public holidays in Australia & Japan, public holidays continuing into EU and US trading sessions.... Perfect day of stop-loss chasing day ... As things start to sober on Tuesday/Wed, all eyes will be on NFP Friday.... We are going to need a crisis like Dubai news last year during illiquid market for shorts to pay off big time.

As a general comment to any novice traders.

I started alerting the likelyhood of a santa rally a coupla weeks ago at least. This very often happens and means the boys in wall st who largely control the markets are keen to end the year on a high bonus note for stocks. Stocks long = risk appetite. Risk appetite is reflected in some of the forex pairs, in gold and in commodities. My alerts were largely unheeded by those who chose to keep fading the trends.

Next year, remember the probability of a santa rally in stocks. Its only a probability, not a certainty, but most often plays out.

Another alert I keep making is the rally in stocks most of this month has been on extremely weak breadth, stocks creeping up on fumes. Either breadth needs to dramtically strengthen early in the new year or stocks will crater. That means risk aversion. Risk will be to the downside in stocks unless breadth takes off.

Happy and Prosperous New Year to all.

Wasup, you had to close your short at below 3200 as Nasakoto Yakata had suggested. He correctly presumed that a short squeeze is coming.
Anyway, it happens.
Good luck for the New Year!
