The
Euro is oversold but as yet has failed to mount a good rally and its
down again today and the Pound has also fallen hard – the dollar
remains firm and we expect to go a lot higher.
Before
we look at the news let's do a quick round up of trades.
Trade
Summary
We
banked 50% of our Euro, Aussie and Canadian Dollar profits last week
and have been waiting to put them back in and need a down turn in
momentum to do so. In the Euro, we missed selling into 1.28 as we
thought the currency would rally more, so will hold our core position
and wait for a bounce. In the Pound we were triggered short on the
breakout below 1.54...
AUD:
We are short into 1.040 and booked profit near recent lows expecting
a rally – we have one now. We need to see a little more weakness
to load up Support is 1.010 which is in line with the mid Bollinger
Band and if this gives way expect it to cement the down trend.
GBP:
We banked our shorts taken at 1.56 out, as we hit 1.54 support and
were now short again on the break of this level but we will bank 50%
now as we have such a good profit in a short period of time.
CAD:
99.00 key resistance on the
upside. We remain short from 99.00 and looking to put our banked
profit back in the market on a momentum down turn for a run down to
97.00.
EUR:
We have banked 50% of our Euro short trade and see a rally back to
1.28 – 1.29 as a good selling opportunity on falling momentum with
stops behind 1.30. We have been selling the Euro since the move up to
1.42, made a lot of profit and expect more to come.
JYP:
We took the bounce up in the dollar due to it being oversold and were
now waiting to go long again on a turn up above 77.00
Euro
Zone – Fiscal Crisis Rumbles on Euro Going South in a Choppy Trade
The
Euro is lower again today and its going a lot lower in a volatile
trade which will see spikes to the upside be short, sharp and brief
as the bearish fundamentals drive it lower. The situation in Euro
zone is critical and I saw this on a news wire today and its totally
correct
The
European Central Bank should ramp up its buying of troubled euro zone
debt to support Italy and prevent a "cataclysmic" collapse
of the euro, David Riley, the head of sovereign ratings for Fitch,
said” …."It is hard to believe the euro will survive
if Italy does not make it through," he said, adding that while
many saw Italy as too politically and economically important to be
allowed to fail, "one might also argue that it is too big to
rescue." (Reuters)
Everyone
who knows economics can see Euro zone is facing disaster and all the
talk of austerity and reform is for later and not for now – action
is needed to restore confidence.
Not
only is the fiscal crisis spreading and economic growth turning down
in many nations, it now looks like Germany the powerhouse of the zone
is slowing up too. Germany’s Federal Statistics Office said the
economy probably shrank in the fourth quarter from the third, and the
European Union cut euro area growth to 0.1 percent in the third
quarter, from an earlier estimate of 0.2 percent.
Tomorrow
debt will be back on the agenda as Spain and Italy will sell as much
as 17 billion euros ($22 billion) in debt. Problems continue to mount
for euro zone and while its oversold, any rallies are selling
opportunities.
