EUR/USD to 1.5500

Recommended Posts

Olli Rehn of the EU Commission saying the Euro Zone has prevented a financial meltdown and has contained the sovereign debt crises.

 

John Kicklighter of DailyFX reports,

"The BIS reports that German lenders were the largest foreign owners of Greek gov't debt at $22.7 bln."

 

Also hearing news of the very hawkish tone coming out of ECB meeting Thursday about raising rates July 25th. We're expecting a release of higher inflation forecasts.

 

Trichet says,

"Absolutely no way out of Greek adjustment."

 

All this and EUR/USD is a buy right now! Here's to 1.5500!

If a bullish move ending at 1.5400 - 1.5500 is to remain on the table it is most likely we will find support around the 1.4250 area which is an area of support and the 61.8% retracement of the last move up.

The S&P downgraded Greek debt again today. Greece now has the lowest credit rating of any country in the world. The S&P said it would consider any debt restructuring a default and therefore downgraded Greek debt three notches. The restructuring could be in the form of a bond swap or extending the maturities of existing bonds. The outlook for Greece remains negative and therefore S&P plans to downgrade again...

Why didnt EU kick Greece out a long time ago?

 

Because greece will default and all the other euro nations holding their bonds will have to write down a huge loss and that will trigger a serious run on the euro ... its sad but Europe and the US are both in a printing-money to inflate race! :-( This cannot end well.

US Dollars and Japanese Yen are the best currencies to hold long term but if you're interested in trading this changes every few days for traders. For the next few days and probably another month the Euro, Australian Dollar, British Pound will be best to hold.

After Greek vote it was obvious EUR/USD was going lower but I think it has a lot lower to go than most people. I think we will drop to 1.4290 at the least but more likely closer to 1.4200 area. This view takes the entire move up as one Elliott Wave. My latest video discusses my views on EUR/USD post Greek vote of confidence. Also includes links to article on QE3.

The EURO is still not in good shape it is very risk to take a long positions on the EURO right now. It could climb a bit but the fundamentals do not support the EURO. There are some big funds getting ready to push the EURO back down. I am hoping they start within the next couple of weeks, but they could wait until vacation time is over.

You are correct Lucid but fundamentals have been bad for the entire uptrend. The EUR/USD is trading on technicals right now. I'm short term and long term bearish the EUR/USD but medium term bullish. I could of course be wrong but I believe that the current highest probability wave count points this direction

I believe the US Dollar has made a major turning point today. Rather than moving directly to 1.5500 from here the EUR/USD is likely to correct further down the medium term support at the parallel channel. This puts the climb to 1.5500 on hold but does not negate it.

    • Date: 26th November 2024. Trump’s tariff threats boosted Dollar; Peso, Loonie, Gold & Oil Lower. The Trump trade picked up steam as investors cheered his pick for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. Beliefs he will be a steadying voice in the administration’s fiscal measures, while still following President-elect Trump’s tariff and tax commitments, underpinned. Asia & European Sessions:   Trump threatened on Monday to impose sweeping new tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico on his first day as US President to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. He would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the country from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China as one of his first acts as president of the US. Bessent’s 3-3-3 plan aims to cut the deficit to 3% of GDP, boost growth to 3%, and increase oil production to 3 mln barrels. Treasury yields dove in a curve flattener, extending their drops through the session, on expectations inflation will decelerate. A strong 2-year auction also supported. The Dow led the charge, climbing 0.99% to 44,736, a new record peak as the rally broadens. The S&P500 climbed to 6020, a session peak, but finished with a 0.3% gain to 5987. The NASDAQ closed 0.27% higher. Today, stock markets in Europe are posting broad losses, with the DAX down -0.6%, the FTSE 100 0.4%, after a largely weaker close across Asia. ECB: Lane suggests ECB must be open-minded on speed of rate cuts. The ECB’s Chief Economist said in a speech on Monday evening that “remaining open-minded about the speed and scale of adjustments is in fact a valuable strategy across various environments, as different situations may necessitate distinct approaches.” This careful, step-by-step strategy enables us to observe the responses of the economy to our decisions and continuously refine our understanding of their impacts.” The comments leave the door open to a 50 bp move in December, but also tie in with our expectation that the central bank will deliver a 25 bp while tweaking the forward guidance and commit to additional moves. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex hit a session high of 107.50 and is currently lower at 106.85. Mexican peso and Canadian dollar slumped as the dollar is being viewed as a haven after the comments of President-elect Donald Trump on tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. USDCAD spiked to 1.4177 and USDMXN rallied to 20.74. Oil and Gold lost ground, in part on cooling geopolitical risks, and on Trump trades. Oil dropped -3.03% to $69.09 per barrel, in part on the Trump trade and on talk of a potential cease fire between Israel and Hezbollah. Similarly, gold fell -3.26% to $2605 per ounce.
