AUDUSD below the important Jan 11 trendline support of 1.0020s, now calling for 0.9920 prelim target, followed by 0.9870. Both GBP and EUR are hit hard vs. USD, but rising EURGBP indicates cable is the bigger loser as the sub 1.6 break paves the way towards 1.5920, followed by more important support at $1.5770s.

The EU summit on expanding EFSF is due today, with Germany leading the Northern countries insistence to require stronger commitments from the peripheral countries before raising their loan guarantees.

An 8.9 earthquake hit NthEastern Japan triggered major tsunami warnings into central America and Hawaii. Nikkei was down as much 5% before ending 1.7% down. EURUSD breaks below 1.3780s and is vulnerable to extended losses towards 1.3580s later in week in the event of a Friday close below 1.3770s.

Sultan, NZDCAD is now OVERextended and somewhat oversold so it is not wise of me to tell you to keep on shorting..especially before Friday's CAD jobs figures. Ive been saying NZDCAD looks negative since last week. Now, that the move has happened, it does not look as attractive .

Dave 81 either add or pause....depends on accumulation vs drawdown ratio as its going down..
with time main factor....always an unfolding puzzle without preset hard rules..
return to sender BE is the play if you can take the drawdown...or scalp out here and there...

Ganja, at what lower level would you stop out on your swap play? I see it went to 81.88.

Chloe, Ed Matts seems pretty competant EW guy (and his partner). His count on usdcad very feasible !

They can get overly complicated on their corrective sequences sometimes but that is only of academic interest to EW buffs such as myself. I have ways of simplifying potential nightmares :-)

I been rationing my time in the forum in favour of actual trading focus. I hate a lot of bitching and unecessary abuse thrown around, its easy to get dragged in and just wastes time and interferes with trading. I hope Ashraf's planned changes will establish some disciplines and a tight framework going foreward. I sometimes think the forum is looking over the precipice :-)

Lawrence, just to make sure; i was talking about short NZDCAD and NOT CADNZD..

Another thing, I do NOT GIVE advice. I share my VIEWS and analysis on the site and people can act accordingly if they wish.


AUDUSD testing that imp 1.0020-30s trendline mentioned in the IMTs of the last 3 days.

Ashraf, I've not taken your advice so far on CADNZD. I hope there's a bit more steam left in this trade as I'm finally gonna take the plunge. Short at .7133.
