would appreciate feedback what people think of this analysis.
Traditionally, the EUR/USD has been considered the ANTI-DOLLAR. This usually means that when U.S. fundamentals are poor, the Euro goes up.

With a dismal retail sales number, continued losses due to subprime in banking stocks like Citibank, and the high price of crude oil, the EUR/USD is experiencing new strength.

Yes, this is a Fibonacci forum, but we can't, as traders, stick our heads in the sand concerning fundamentals. These fundamentals that drove up the EUR/USD and drove down the dollar in 2007 have not changed going into 2008.

Our job as professional traders is to identify the Dominant Trend and enter trades in the direction of that trend. Trading what we see is important.

Many an account has gone up in smoke trying to short this BIG DOG.
