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 :)

I have small LONG @ 1.4385, we have again bad data from EU, not the only hope for the EUR is far more bad data from USA - besides GOLD is attacking all time high. Those who bought GOLD are happy now :)

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

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.

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

@ 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.

Dear Mr Vladimir , what do u see about eur/usd during the night?

Regards JimV

A drop to 1.4220 still possible and probably will happen in the next 16-18h. If we take a closer look to the US data released we shall see that Philadelphia FED index is far low than expected and many analyst think that this could affect much the following NFP, and if there is a major decrease in NFP it should refuel the EUR engine and boost the upside movement. Remember also that we have a confirmed double top on Daily so if you're LONG you'd better stop below 1.4220. If we are below 1.4220 we are going to 1.4170 and then 1.4110-30  which constantly holds from a very long time. But i think upside movement would prevail next week.

Hope first to move to 1.4410/20 level before drop.
Comment by Vladimir Mihaylov on August 18, 2011 at 5:50pm
@George - a drop to 1.4220 still very possible, be carefull and be sure you have enough money to hold such position. We need to retest the support before going up again. Support still not reached.
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
