no no, you get me wrong......like in the eurjpy live trade I posted the other day.......the analysis comes from the higher time frames (monthly, weekly) but on that 4h chart the counting shows where are we supposed to be on that time frame.........and I trade that time frame or even the 1h chart, with SL and TP based on that one.........the support and resistance areas from the higher timeframes I take them into consideration when price reaches them.......but trading the lower time frames count.........too confusing?

 

A little bit yes :)

 

Can you post few step-by-step graphs?

Despite minutes from the Fed's June meeting showing half of its policymakers think its monthly $85B stimulus program should be cut by the end of 2013, Bernanke's message was enough to snap markets back into buying mode.

 

Nonetheless, Bernanke's comments were taken by the markets as much more dovish so I suspect it be good to trade puts especially on the DAX and the FTSE100.

 

We are still in a bit of a sweet spot for equity markets. The US economy is recovering steadily and this is an encouraging sign for equity markets with future earnings expected to be good, but it is not hot enough to cause the Fed to scale back the stimulus...

Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank, said the euro zone had stabilized markedly in the last year as he offered an ever so slightly more upbeat assessment of the prospects for growth. But he indicated that the fragile state of the euro zone economy means that any decision to raise interest rates is still a long way off.

Most likely nothing, actually is the better description - for both.

 

Neither want to acknowledge debt problems and are "kicking the can" down the road.

 

is there any other way?.....I don't think so....so let's kick it still for a couple of more decades and still call it we're in a crises......regardless the type (euro, debt ceiling, etc)

Very little likelihood we can keep it going beyond a couple more years.

 

I'll take my chances rather than wait for "inevitable" to happen......Greece was inevitably falling no more than 1.5 years ago.......same Spain..........and so on

 

so I would rather do something constructive in the meantime......like buying equities :)

Personally i have the same analysis, however im more concern over the time line. The Feds tapering is not a concluded matter. Basically, they could start tapering as early as November just to see how markets are going to react to it ! Then, they take it from there .. Do you really think , anyone will talk about tapering , while a second government shut down & debt ceiling as early as Feb 2014 ? The bond markets will be a sell off. In Euro's defense, it wasn't a honey moon month also. Italy's government was on the brink of a crisis , Greece about to ask for the third bail out tranch, there is no elected government yet in Germany and exposure to Syrian - new Iraq reality. However, all in all he Euro is in better shape than one year ago. So i see your point there !

 

In my opinion, now is the time for a Rate cut - not an LTRO ... why Dragni is holding on? I have no idea, are they expecting Euro to reach higher? Is it German opposition? Or growing feeling that Europe is recovering and no need for extra measure.

 

So, in 6 Months from now its more than possible...........

oh but they won't cut the rates.......the reallocation into the euraud pair for example has been tremendous lately and it will continue.....if you think the pair traveled from the 1.17 area only to pierce the 1.50 level by 30 pips and then to go on free falling.......I don't think so and 1.50 is here to stay and it will be touched again.

 

same bullish story on eurnzd, eurcad, and even on eurusd.....so technicals do not favor a rate cut as it is priced in on the market now, and fundamentals neither, as a rate cut would undermine the work ECB did so far......why firing the last bullet they have when conditions are relative stable in terms of currency fluctuations (I mean a coridor of 1000 pips is ok for any central bank)........so the key will come from the US

Moody's warns on Euro zone banks

 

The credit rating agency reported that EU bank capital and profits will remain pressured in 2014 due to the effects of the European debt-crisis lingering on for sometime.

 

The bank outlook is mixed with the credit quality of peripheral EU nations softening.

yeah, lately European banks have been also warned by the ECB to make sure they are preparing for when the Fed will unwind the QE

 

so something is coming....storm or just bad weather?

      Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
