Chinook's EUR/USD (E/$)Mumblings

Quiet1 · Nov 24, 2006

The scary thing about this move up in the EURUSD is that according the Oanda it has been accompanied by a large INCREASE in traders (using its system) getting short - see

so even if we dip here there will be a lot of short covering to do....

Winners cut and run while losers hold on, I think that's all it means.

We saw a prolonged period (last 2 years) with a small range of movements for long periods. I mused that it would be dipping and popping around 1.30 for long periods, but it was 1.20 and 1.25 instead.

The tendency/characteristics were the same as I was anticipating, but the levels were not. Now that we saw the upside of 1.30 again, what are your thoughts for 2007 ?

Oil is coming down somewhat, but producers want to keep it close to current levels. The growth has seemed pretty steady in most sectors, and can this rub off otherwise now.

With the "lame duck" president now, there might be grounds for a change ?

BTW I'm working on programming projects still, but following the fx mostly every day.
And then I had to revive the thread for old sake's sake as well ...
;D

It's very simple now. We're near pre-Soros levels in the pound.

If we can't get through we will most certainly experience a colossal sell off in the pair which,I hope, will start a new m/t downtrend.

If we get through.... but I can't even talk about it.

Below is a nice call from October last year.

Quote from MickeyMouse:

If anyone got in at 1.2500 when I posted my graph on October 17, then get ready to close out your position at 1.3200 for a nice 700 pip profit. Wave 5 will be nearing completion. Merry Christmas!
