    They are trying to do a big trade from which if profitable, they can then retire for the rest of their life. Like that guy named Paulson who shorted the sub prime market a couple years ago and made about 3 billion dollars for himself in about 18 months time.

    I find it hard to believe that anyone is manipulating the euro. Traders have tried and had some success in colluding to manipulate the smaller emerging market currencies with less float and volume. Does anyone really think that even large hedge funds could control a currency as liquid as the euro?

    He went long in March too, and now he is shorting home builder again
    He is a genius, he start shorting two years before the plunge (2006 when everyone was busy with the bull market) these people deserve to win, they see something and they go for it, way before it is obvious for the rest of us.

    Nope.

    I agree, they can't influence the EUR/USD even if they wanted to.

    A couple of decades ago, George Soros shorted gbp and made a few billion dollars doing so. Anybody remember that?

    He also went on every show that would have him in order to badmouth the USD, right after he got all his dollarshorts in. However, in that case, his shorts turned around and bit his a**.

    He was under the impression that the world would follow anything he said.

    I do. He didn't even get his full trade in before the BOE caved. You could argue his observations from then could now apply to the Euro. How can the ECB orchestrate a single monetary policy for multiple economies going in very obvious opposite directions with independent social philosophy’s that appear now to conflict? Anyone have 15 Billion?

    1 Possible Scenario

    If we are starting Retrace 2 on the big move down from 1.51 then ......


    IF it can make it to the 78.6% @ 1.4334 the extension from both this and the last retrace would complete together at about 1.3080 - 1.3050.

    Just for fun

    Steve,

    Your post is on a larger time frame.

    How do you see the present retrace from 1.3440?

    I think E/U has 1 more dive left it in to 1.3000. Maybe even 1.2500. Of course anything can happen. I will be looking for a short though close to the trendline. So far have been playing E/U in a range. E/U weekly looks kind of like a Triangle formation but we'll see i guess.
