The same people who front-ran eur/gbp bids with a gap-up this week.

Ashraf & Said,

I never said when I make money that its because of me, I always have felt that this is a market full of fraud and if I made money, it may be some fundamentals which the fraudsters could not break.

Out of 24 hours only 5-6 hours is real trading or a genuine trading, rest of the time its mostly dealers chasing after the accounts and trying to panick an investor and testing his patience, if they have stops set, then run those stops and if they have limits just do not brush those limits.

Ashraf you said about volatility in 1980, I agree. At that time market may not have this many participants, so higher volatility. Forex market is growing, hence the volatility is decreasing as well.

If this market is not full of fraudster then why is CFTC regulating them? There are numerous complaints and also being a software engineer, I suspect that is the case. I can not guarantee it because I do not have source codes, but it is easily trackable that this happens.

Ashraf, you did say that forex dealers chase out wek buyers and I have seen the big movements happen during the time when the volume is really thin or when some data comes in or rumour is created. I think all these should be investigated. For example the rumour of yesterday about Greece being saved, from where it originated, who originated it and who benefitted from it.

Pipped,

I asked for your opinion on oil in the 'VIX, Oil, BRICS...' post, but seems you don't visit that. So, what do you think?

@Pippedoff, I am trying to figure out at this stage is how deep will the eur/jpy and eur/usd retrace before resuming on the continuation of the downfall.

Does EUR/JPY have room to stay in high 123 levels which coincides with 23.6% retracement levels off its extreme high/lows of this calendar year? EUR/USD on a 23% of the Nov peak would in 1.39 levels? With these EUR/JPY and EUR/USD looking topsy, hard to see how far it will go before it sends out panic / fear to anyone with existing shorts below current levels. There are other short-term headwinds ahead for the longs just as well as those on the short... Comments?

Gap-up in their cartel-backed eur/gbp pair.

The Goldman-backed Cable Cartel switches into a Euro-cartel, with a HUGE gap up over the weekend frontrunning the euro short-covering rally.

yes i see 1.53 next key support for cable too. if risk picks up cable could rally hard from this level. its all about risk aversion and the dollar right now. the correlation between stocks and dollar seems pretty strong at present. if the euro picture doesnt become rosier dollar will rally until the euro becomes too cheap i.e. 1.25 level. but step by step i think.
