Just when one thought the [COLOR=#1e439a]oversold status [/COLOR]of the all important Euro (by way of the market defining EURUSD) may have peaked and short covering resumed, we once again find that the technical reason (not to be confused with the fundamental one which has to do with EUR repatriation by French banks) why the EUR continues to melt up, and drag all 1.000 correlated assets along with it, is that after a brief retracement in mega bearish exposure in the currency as of [COLOR=#1e439a]last week[/COLOR], bearish sentiment once again returned, and after 8,902 net short non-commercial contracts were covered in the weekend ended October 11, the subsequent most recent week saw another 3,925 net shorts added according to the [COLOR=#1e439a]CFTC's COT report[/COLOR], bringing net short exposure back to near 2011 'highs' at -77,720 contracts. This is, to put it mildly, disturbing, because while stock pundits look at NYSE short interest, in this day and age of ultra low volume and liquidity algo trading, the only real transaction occur on the uber-levered margin: i.e., the EURUSD, where one pip delta translates in roughly 2 DJIA points. But it is explicitly disturbing because while the EURUSD has just closed at 1.39, or the highest (resistance) level since early September when the pair broke down, the net short interest now is well over double when the EURUSD first traded at this level.
Said otherwise, the squeeze can easily continue once the weak hands throw in the towel and force another major short covering rally, which drags the stock market with it. That is of course, unless reality finally manifests itself, the market realizes that all European bail out plans are unmathematical hodgepodge, and the EUR trades down to its fair value somewhere well lower (at least until the Fed's threats of MBS QE become reality). Then all fiat bets are off.

Friday we had a move from the bottom of the range to the top. Today breakout.
Quite bullish signs. A bit hard to find a long entry after that impressive move. BPC would be classic.

The PMI data in early European trading could make it a bit choppy with some possibilities.
All in all it is a difficult market. As long we have no results from the summit there will always be news shaking the market...

Is there a reason before the summit to go much higher? The logic would say choppy range.
Next res 1.4012 (61.8 retracement)
Next sup 3812, 3785

Sorry, what's BPC?

The market is optimistic. Will they really deliver?

The levels are still in place. 3812 is stronger now.

My picture changed a bit. I still see no reason for a BO up today. But perhaps we had a shift from a lower range to a higher range.

Stay open minded as this summit is the most important in the newer history of EU.

Rassi,

Are you a Mark Braun follower and is that a main method of your trading?

Hi David,

Yes I am a Mark Braun fan. I like to use the fibs and PA for levels as well as looking at things with a wyckoff eye. I use the cci sometimes to see which fibs / levels might hold but not as Mark does for entries. Let me know if i can help at all.
