EUR is sliding slowly since yesterday's top @ 1.4516 and this morning we have touched the strong support level @ 1.4380. I've adviced you yesterday to enter LONG somewhere between 1.4360 and 1.4390 and this is still valid. EUR is now struggling with the 38.2% level @ 1.4410 add to longs above 1.4460 for 1.4530. Remember that drops to 1.4330 are still possible as we are forming something strange like consolidation in wide range with possible going UP. The big movements will start next month as most of the traders are now in summer vacation. If we close above 1.4520 this will take us quickly to 1.4680 where EUR will loose all of its power and a huge drop will follow. For today 1.4320-30 will hold, better stop below.
European leaders again focus the traders' attention to the bad data from overseas, how the US economy is slowing down and how S&P lowered the raiting and how high unemployment is, and how low is the interestrate which will not rise until 2013. But noone asks what is the EU situation - what about debt crisis - what about Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain??? What about almost 0% growth in Germany??? Too many problems and nothing still solved and the worse is that noone does anything to solve the problems, just distracting traders with what is in USA. We know what is there - Mrs.Merkel and Mr.Sarkozy - tell us what's here??? What will you do with the ECB rate as the Europe is at the edge of recession???
When there is an answer to just one of these EUR will suffer a tremendous fall below 1.36, but till then a major panic will continue with EUR forecasts going to 1.50 and above. One thing is sure GOLD will go up and up, buy GOLD and let others die :)

Comment by George on August 18, 2011 at 2:37pm Hi Vladimir,
probably this is not a good moment to ask but what about your SL limit???
Do you think that we have chance to pull back to 1.44???
Thanks
Comment by Vladimir Mihaylov on August 18, 2011 at 2:53pm We are now testing te top border of the negative Ichimocu on Daily chart and MA14 still holds. we have a 61.8% retracement @ 1.4220 and bearish move will continue until that. You may enter LONG @ 1.4250 for 1.4320 or to wait for 1.4220. I think tomorrow we are going up again as we are in a flat consolidation model.
The rason for the EUR fall is the good consumer price index and risk aversion on european debt crisis. All are hiding in GOLD which has made new all time high, that's harming badly EUR.
Comment by George on August 18, 2011 at 2:58pm I enter long @1.4370 and it didn't hit my TP. I didn't close this position and now I'm thinking what to do.
Good luck
Comment by Vladimir Mihaylov on August 18, 2011 at 2:59pm @ Edgars - i cannot agree with that, the reason for the EUR fall today is not the bad US data, but the bad situation in EU as i've mentioned in my article this morning, and the GOLD rush, along with that USD makes gains too. But thank you for your opinion - highly appreciated=
@ George - My SL is around 40-50 pips, and 5-6 USD on GOLD. Yes, i think we shall have 1.44 and up again, maybe tomorrow if not then next week.

Comment by George on August 18, 2011 at 5:57pm And this is a problem. It is possible not to have enough money but at this level it is also impossible to close this position :/ So now I have no choice - hope first for this level 1.4410.
Good luck
