spec, USDX continues to find support at 75.80 as EURUSD continues to struggle at 1.4860 for past 13 months. i do think we will see a bottom for now, but i disagree with people like robert prechter who say that the dollar will enter a 12-18 month rally . i see a much shorter rally..or just a bounce.. but stronger rally against GBP. i disagree with you about Fed raising rates in early 2010. i see only 30% chance of them raising rates in 2010. Fed may talk tough abt normalizing liquidty etcc but an actual rate hike is too dangerous for the still sick US consumer.

hi ashraf do you think dollar sentiment can get any worse? the dollar keeps rebounding. so its clear that rumours have on a temporary influence on the dollar. i see fed tightening early 2010 and maintain near term support for dollar index at 75 for a shot to 80 this quarter. the declining dollar trend is becoming exhausted with many of the major pairs. imagine what influence dollar positive news will have.

chloe, did you consider short EURCAD and AUDCAD? technicals looking weaker.

smiler, yes, correct.weekly VIX today looks bearish, but stocks not looking equally bullish.

Hi Ashraf, just been watching the Webinar recording and you mentioned that you expect the S&P to drop to 980 to keep up with the shift in risk appetite. The VIX has moved back below the 100 day MA. Do you still hold the view that the S&P will decline?

I'd also like to add my congrats to Jack Dee for his idea. Count me in if you decide to run with the idea. Smiler
