I can't sleep, but keep spinning my thoughts about how the market moved. I got a few minutes rest, but will try and watch the market action - and some Bloomberg to get my sleep going. The new high on EURUSD is absolutely incredible ... so fast it happened. I was wondering if there wouldn't...

Pssst. Watch out €-longs .. the USDJPY is moving a little too... some pressure - now my eyes are not acting this action anymore. I feel like how Chinook have described himself many times - almost collapsing - I guess all the excitement didn't get to me before I stopped. Phew.

I got +35 ticks on that spillover USDJPY move. I'm totally flabbergasted ... I have absolutely no idea how to interpret this infighting I see close to the ath on the EURUSD, I gave back a good 12 ticks on being stubborn , but got another scalp for +9 ticks back again. I feel the...

Will try and get a copy of that. It will be good reading, for sure. Best of luck - and thanks for the heads up - this time I get in. A little late - but still good for 9 ticks. I guess you can add me to the list of people in debt to you. :)

With US names buying USDCHF too now, I would tread carefully indeed. The atmosphere feels very heavy - I took a EURUSD leg down to offset and get into EURJPY again - but I don't like the situation very much - slightly negative now - although just a handful of ticks. Got to get a handle on...

If we see a weakening of USD overall - with USDJPY below 103.15 - then a real EURUSD bounce will get much more credible. But until then, the EURUSD will continue to be volatile, I think. EURJPY doesn't look all that bullish to me yet, considering trend channel last weeks, or months even...

I'd be careful so far with EURUSD ... but then again, I'm a equity-size fearful scalper. :D I hope you guys have proper stop limit and exit strategies ... someone are "shagging" the moves. :) I won't stop nagging about the USDJPY move here until we see 0.009710s - i.e around 103.08-area.

Nice up move on the EURJPY there ... :D Will not yield - better wait for US session for better liquidity - but long USDJPY is the best side of that leg on levels above 103.45 I guess. EURUSD little moved on back of this - which shows the intention of the quick move on EURJPY. I guess I...

I feel like a contrarian with you guys, because I shorted the "extension" on the EURUSD. I just did it to take the EURJPY leg into play ... The stalling of the USDJPY is boring me a little. Didn't get more than 6 ticks though - but think it can get lower unless Neal is not backing off...

Not trying to take opposite sides here, but equities doesn't involve that many losers when it rises ... except for those hedgeing futures. Therefore currency-trends tend to hurt some - while benefiting others, or am I fundamentally wrong here, as the fx newbie I am. edit: looks like a little...

No, the guy was talking about 1.35+ EURUSD and USDJPY 95. I don't know if I missed saying that. He believed in a retrace this year, then the higher targets next year. I tend to agree. :)

Yes, I think that we will see further USD weakness, but with december thin and volatile markets coming up I think that profit-taking will neccessarily come - and where can it go when "everyone" are long EURUSD ? I edit-quoted an analyst from Standard Chartered just on Bloomberg UK in my...

On the back of further weakening US equities and expectations, Neal might be right about a quick run-up on the EURUSD, though. It's a hard call. I do think we will make a run for it before having a retrace, but I have no idea when and how it will materialize. I have a little trouble seeing...

I agree onthe BS of the down move - just glad I got my trade target on it .. :) I don't think we'll see 1.31 this week; the popular talk now is about some profit-taking, but we need some catalyst. Corporate hedging in the EU has not materialized - and I think they're speculating in being able...

Yes, it's importance has risen during the last week. I think that current levels will be good for some whipsaw or fast slide action later on, but without the asian session in full vigour we might see the touted profit-taking fears becom triggered on the back of a unexpected number - or a number...

I like being right, but now that I've averaged myself into a small profit (by adding to "losers" - wohoo :D) I will just have to be patient for this latest ploy to fizzle. Maybe we'll go around 1.3010 again on the EURUSD - that's very probable as the slide has no big substance this night -...

Thomson notes that the USDJPY extension is on the back of USD strengthening - i.e the EURUSD run downwards. No real substance, bluffing on thin volumes and that the preferred strategy is shorting levels from here as the action is totally unrelated to MOF/BOJ action. Well, they couldn't touch...

At least I got my +80 position on the EURUSD position. I might have waited for +100, but why take chances. And it seems they are rumours that are still unconfirmed. The rumour mill is nice to have on holidays - so I think this one has little substance to it still. The USDJPY still only...

I just placed my stop well above and will see this one as a fire-and-forget - not exactly a AGM-65 Maverick or AIM-120 AMRAM missile but something close in nature. :D I just added, so I have a +30 target on this - I think it's quite plausible given markets right now. Very thin action on the...

Seems like they're trying to cap some of the rebound in USDJPY ... let's see how long they can keep it up. They need to get that stop-run pump getting an awfully lot of times to hold the market off. edit: Interesting interview with BOC representative on FT.com, Thomson cites. Li Ruogu says...
