Bernakie speaking?

Is Bernakie speaking somewhere right now? The last time Eur did this was during the FOMC meeting! I just sat there and watched it go straight up all day with out even a stall! I'm ready to go short to but.. I think I'll get in around .5750.. Seems safer than fighting this vertical theme park ride. I'm waiting for Clear resistance to show up at .5870 to .5900.

Enerything points to a trunaround, but will it?

MACD & CCI both show divergence but the EUR looks unstopable

We trade the "now", not the "tomorrow".

AGREED
“The market can remain irrational far longer than you can remain liquid”

lol........ if u were sitting like me with the amount of lots im holding and only getting 5813 as avg including the shorts picked rt now from 5854.... and wondering where is ERUO getting all this strength.......... i mean i have been trading for over 7 yrs now and i can't figure a rally like this.......my stops will start triggering from 5866 for the weaker shorts...... and i have decided to place the reamining stops above the previous high.........
to be frank i might simply bail out and take a breather here......
had an awesome trading expereince since i came back from a short weekend.....
but seriously, has anyone seen anything like this.........
this bunny ain't stopping.........
if i lose would give me a reaon to analyze the fact why i stayed short once 5812 was taken out......... i guess i was expecting a quick turn around and a retrace..........
but any stall prior to taking out the preious high.......... hmmm..... lets do the maths..........

GL ALL............

It looks like we are either going to see a massive double top put in and a huge drop OR a tremendous breakout to all time new highs very shortly. What other alternatives are there at this point? Seems cut & dry at these levels. AND yes I am amazed at where this strength is coming from all of the sudden. It is like doing all this with really no new major backround news. Maybe that's scariest of all. :-)

OK, it looks like the 60 min, 30 min, and shorter time frame charts are massively overbought. It looks like 5 waves up from the low at 153.40. We are just under the previous all time high. It would seem that we should have some kind of correction here BEFORE any new highs are achieved. That being said there is nothing logical about what has happened so far the last few days. SO?

The $/CHF is just touching a .618 ret. of the move off the lows. The $/JPY is just touching a .382 ret. move off the lows. Neither of these two major currencies are showing the strength against the $ that the EUR is. Is that meaningful? The GBP/$ is not even relevant.

I have all the pieces that seem to being saying we should have a sell off here BUT this move is scaring me too and I'm not sure whether or not it will really come. Anyone care to comment on any of this? I'd like to hear some opinions on this move. Thanks.

That's where I went wrong several times lately as rallies seem to be very sticky and pullbacks are often delayed but most of the time still occur and take us by surprise.

Diver many oscilators are made that way that they never reach the top level and they work ussaly in sidways trading. If you take sohastic and look back you can also see that even if sohastic is falling fiber can go higher and all sell signals are ussaly wrong ones. Take a look back and you'll se what I m talking about.

i do not believe in "overbought" anymore, this is why I stick to fundamentals & no more technical analyses before the market stabilise...

for now there is no more logical thinking...panic is the word!!

OIL 101.55 - 106.50 in one day

there is your reason, now why oil went up so far in one day I do not know or understand but it will explain the rally today, OR maybe the rally explaines the rise in OIL??

Don't understand why all the mystery about today's move. Just look at the Econ Calender and you'll have your answer. EZ data was very, very good, while US data really, really sucked.

I agree with part of what you're saying but I've seen too many times when after positive data a currency went exactly the opposite way. On the other hand, from my experience, severely overbought/oversold studies will prompt a bounce or pullback most of the time, if not immediately, then in a day or two.

similar structure

11 March and 24th March increases are very much like the same.
Within several hours we may see a correction wave that will delay of passing 1.59. If price stalls for several hours then the correction wave will be inevitable. Who knows next...

to challenge at least the 88.6 --94.1 (5840-72)

or battle thru w/stop manipulations to 5980s & then
beyond into flirting the 1.272 area as far as 6060s
to complete the 5th of 3

OBs regardless of look really matter little in the laggard indies
when in this type of mode
yet eventually we'll take the Atrade
south

Euro move soon runs out of time
in the MT level
Thurs/Fri to review the fib/wave stage(s)
That looks really good. The only thing I'm having a problem with is the red a-b-c at the end there, accompanied by a wave [3]. I'm not clear on how an abc correction fits into a wave [3]. I agree with your ABC down, and the impulsive rise, I'm just not clear on the abc rally.
