Unsustainable Appetite in FX, Equities & Oil

We're witnessing more signs of peaking appetite, this time inside the individual Forex pairs, as well as more failure in oil and Chinese stocks

Radu,

The market is not for the nervous, but the disciplined! I feel the market's a bit nervous - even a bit confused. Just MAKE SURE you have your stops & limits in place...at all times. Discipline! I'm short...but even heavier than before - risk appetite differs - as I back my judgement (& now Ashraf's backing) of a first correction near 64!

Below 64, I'll trade more cautiously (but not nervously). Right now, the market is yours to take (caveat: discipline!)

Saeed, you ll probably have to wait before seeing 153 or 152. but could see a rebound to as high as 155.50s. 152.80 is 100 day MA

Ashraf,

I have shorted Gbp/Jpy at 154.16. Can you let me know if this was a good enough entry. Can you advise on where a better entry point would've been.

Many Thanks

Hi Ashraft,

Is there a link for your CNBC appearance yesterday? I can't seem to locate it on their website.

Thanks,

Cappy

Hello Ashraf ,

Thanks a lot for your answer-and explanation with the first Fibonacci retracement...and we are waiting for your IMT.

Asad , i ask if you close your short because i was short too , but on brent , and i close the position too in 70.45 - friday - and now i am short again in 69.76 but with a smallest position lake previous - i do not really why , but i"m filling a little unsecure - so... i agree with you, we must be very carefully...

Regards

Every time I read your comments, i'm astonished how accurate your suggestions are and the wealth of knowledge you have is unbelievable. You are truly are one of the heavyweights when it comes to trading. What really amazes me is that you have a successful job and there is no need for you to use up your time and share your thoughts. Luckily you are not selfish and you have a desire to share some knowledge. Because of this, many of us have been able to put food on the table for our families and pay our bills. Not too sure if you looked at it like this.

I thankyou everyday. May the grace of God be with you. Jazakallah Khairun (May God reward you in abundance)

Steven,

It'll be pretty difficult breaking 60/b. If indeed it does...it could be heading to 55! We can expect OPEC to intervene as well. I agree w/ Ashraf on the first support level - 64 (we might even touch it by tomorrow). Again, breaking 60 seems a bit improbable. Something will give in around this level - supply disruption, Iran-ralated tension, US oil inventories or even hurricanes. In any case, we would not see ឬ.

Radu, I closed my previous position around 66.90s...and opened a new position at 66. It's positioned to close around $62...but I'm watching very carefully (I'll do this one manually *smiles*...looking at trading volumes at certain levels).

Await Ashraf's IMT...
