It's not major bank selling USD. There's an Asian CB selling EUR, but not USD.
No, it's momentum funds, some models and a German name mixed in for good measure. That's why I find it amusing. I'd never short it if I thought euro cbs were behind the move. I don't go up against that type of maneuver.
Maybe, but I went short again at 1.21. We should see some squaring of longs ahead of NFP tomorrow. Even IFR is now saying the run up looks a bit overdone.
The ISM report couldn't even carry the Euro higher. It seems the Euro is artificially high right now from the FOMC minutes. Of course the jobs report tomorrow is important.
