VIX, Oil, BRICS & Sterling's Sell-Appeal

BRICS equity indices fail at key fib retracements, VIX and oil near major trend lines and sterling's sell-appeal hasn't looked this good in a while.

Ashraf,

on AUD/USD did you open shorts at 0.86? If yes, do you put any stop loss? (like yesterday's high?)

Thanks

Ashraf,

Good call, indeed. How many times do we agree on oil's direction? :)

I believe that the market is acting irrationally/erratically...but being a true investor at heart, I tend to look AT LEAST over weekly horizons instead of daily trading. I too believe that oil should be coming down back to 68s...and subsequently to 65 and so forth.

Thanks again & let's wait...

Rob, the right shoulder on the reverse HS in weekly USDJPY quickly failed.

Asad, im paying more attention to oil price action than OPEC, and action is telling me to sell oil

Forum,

With OPEC presumeably leaving output unchanged...and the API data showing a decline of 1.5 m barrels, what direction do you reckon oil would take?

Ashraf?

FXHandler and cougr - thanks so much for the input.

Does anyone think a possible reverse head and shoulders may play out in the weekly SPY chart? Or do I just need to wash my hair? Ashraf, I know you don't see that as a possibility.

Ashraf, with the mementum and fundamentals in USD selling; good news yesterday out of the UK, don't you honestly see further upside above 1.66 in GBP, and above 0.8650 in AUD. The world is getting rid of their USD - the UN asked for an alternative - Gold is possing 1000. Oil again above 71. It is only USD strength that can bring AUDUSD down to 0.81 again.

Here's that chart I was referring to in my post below. Support-resistance in red and not green.

Hi Rob, potentially there are many patterns that could develop from the above situation. At this stage it might be best to keep an eye on the support-resistance levels shown in green.
