Looks to me like this is the last rise in the Euro on a short covering rally. Get ready for E/$ 1.32.

Agree, talk of rate hikes are premature. The Euro has been bid up on hot air.

Given the Wirtschaftswoche is correct and further Weber was ousted for uncontrolled lending then Mar 3 will not see an actual rate hike by ECB only cheap hawkish blabla. Furthermore Merkel is at stake. She was informed on the illegal lending Ponzi scheme of Bundesbank.

Catnip, you are really a funny person. Data series can be more easily assessed when viewed on a chart. Don't tell me you do not use charts at all. LOL
In my post I have not said anything about price charts levels etc. I am only saying your reasoning to short EUR is wrong.
Let me ask you a very simple question.
What has changed in the EUzone debt situation from a week ago when EUR was at 1.3550 and now when EUR is at 1.3830?
It is ridiculous to trade such ST moves based on fundamental analysis.
You can have the same reasoning to short EUR a week from now when for example it is at 1.4200.
It is really a waste of time to discuss this with you.
It seems you are prejudiced vs all other trading approaches except yours.
My approach is not heavily based on technical analysis but on sentiment. And I have explained below why your reasoning to short EUR is wrong.
Anyway good luck.

You are correct. Chart astrologists don't get the sharp difference of manageable debt and not manageable debt. Why not? Well it isn't in the chart. ROFL.

TonyG, my point is the following:

You can have different reasons to short EUR here but the reason that EUR debt problems are much bigger than these in the USA is not credible anymore. You see the news flow. Everyday we have regarding EUzone debt woes and yet EUR is climbing vs USD. Besides there is much talk that March will be a tough month for EUzone sovereign debt because of refinancing. And yet the EUR is up. So what? You think that only you and Catnip know about the EUzone debt problems and the other market players do not know about them? I mean these EUzone debt woes are already priced in. This is not new news.
Find something new.

@Tony
the source is the renowned weekly Wirtschaftswoche, from Feb 21st 2011 .
According to that non performing claims of Bundesbank reached a record of Eur 338 bln per end of december 2010. It remains unclear how could the Bundesbank lend a total of 386 bln to cash strapped Ezone banks? The loans went to Greece ( Eur 93 bln) Spain ( unknown around 90 bln)
Portugal ( around 60 bln) and Ireland ( 150 bln).
The problem is haircut. These claims will be cut and only Germany is liable! Not the ECB.
At the moment an emergeny debate is going on in the parliament. Was Merkel informed?
I tell you if that goes bad Euro value is nil.
