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.

Think one stoploss for all spectrum of traders are not quite normal proposal. Because stop loss for a trader who trades with $300 or for a trader who trades with 1 million is quite different all together. something like NatGas long at 2.7 without believing it that it can show 2.5, small traders would cut via stoploss but another trader might hold the position and could reap the benefit.Though its my opinion so cant be specific

raj, shorting euros at those levels is fine. 100 pts in USDX is about 200 pts in EURUSD

Azza, oil is showing a very prominent Head & Shoulder with right shoulder (resistance) acting around 72.75-60, which means oilshorts consider placing stops above 72.50s.

raj, let's see if 9770 does hold.

Azza,

Oil is resisting around the 68.30 mark! Should have gone down further, but the incessant weakness of the dollar is making it attractive at the current price level. Going forward, oil should comes down now...NOT ONLY because there's no fundamental justification to the current price...but more so now due to the overdur correction in commodities and equities...

Caveat: Keep one eye on VIX!
