International markets traders banter

[Trembling Hand]

For the session? Day? Week? Seems I picked the intraday highs on that short, but as said I only took a few. Would be more comfortable longs here, trying to catch a few and let the rest run.

Personally, I don't think EURUSD is the correct instrument to trade bearish Eurozone and as a result, never do that anymore (since 2010). EuroStoxx 50 is a much better candidate IMHO.

Large Monday rallies are normally deadly for the longs - for the week anyway. I don't really trade the Euro, or FX for that matter either but I do keep a close eye on FX.

Thanks for clarifying. A down week here would make the long term support at 0.96 look under threat, I'd honestly be surprised to see us challenge it again without another run at the weekly highs.

For some reason (perhaps oxygen not making it to the brain), I'm still viewing like this

Turning quite neutral here personally. If I had to take odds on the next 6 months I'd be betting long, at least in the DAX and SPX.

Pretty good performance considering the impending financial apocalypse...

Highs are in. Euro looking particularly disappointing for the longs.

Bring on next problem du Jour.... Spain, Italy [insert 10 other things].

New high in the SPI...

May be the world is saved... we just don't know it yet.

yeah it could grind up until tomorrow morning. That still wouldn't make me bullish for this week. In fact I would probably get bullish if we retraced just a bit tomorrow into Wed. Then maybe fade the faders.
