Kermit Krushed By Latest Stolpering As Asmussen Sends EURUSD Under 1.2800

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Moments ago ECB's Asmussen had some less than jovial words for EURUSD longs. To wit via Reuters:

  • ASMUSSEN SAYS THERE WAS UNANIMITY ON ALL DECISIONS LAST THURSDAY INCLUDING THE RATE DECISION;
  • ASMUSSEN SAYS ECB FORWARD GUIDANCE GOES BEYOND 12 MONTHS
  • ECB'S ASMUSSEN SAYS IF NEEDED WE HAVE A RANGE OF STANDARD AND NON-STANDARD MEASURES WE CAN DEPLOY

And the punchline:

  • ASMUSSEN, ASKED ON NEW LTRO, SAYS I WOULD NOT RULE THIS OUT

The intention, of course, was to crush the EURUSD now that redenomination risk is, supposedly, gone. We can't wait until said risk returns and Mario Draghi comes back urging everyone to buy, buy, buy the EURUSD.

Of course, end result for those who listened to us a week ago and faded Stolper's latest EURUSD long at 1.3060, in a 260 pip gain with which we close the latest Stolper fade reco.

 

As for Goldman's muppet clients: -260 pips and the usual treatment.

Will the Collapse of Civilization Begin With Global Corporatist Totalitarianism?

What exactly is “Global Corporatist Totalitarianism”? I would argue that it has these attributes:

-the collusion among ‘leaders’ of governments of affluent nations and large global corporations to establish “we know better than you” policies that subordinate the interests of the public to those of the ruling group, and the concentration of wealth and power in that group

-the suspension of all rights and freedoms in the interest of being able to maintain order no matter how bad things may get

-the abandonment by the public of belief in the viability of participative representative democracy, due to constant and egregious abuses of the process by all political parties (once all parties are either controlled or eliminated by the ruling group)

-the control and use of the media to misinform, oppress and terrify citizens to cow them into submission to the ruling group’s authority

-a total surveillance state including the suppression of all dissent (of speech and action) under the guise of fighting “terrorism”

-financial and military support of.....

[sigh]

If you’ve read The Shock Doctrine, you’ll recognize the growing presence of all of these attributes in our current political and economic systems.

Most big banks have somebody who does Public Relations; ie. publishes reports and prognosticates. they tend to be wrong most of the time. I used to notice that looking at daily reports on the Saxo Bank trading platform; UBS in particular was hilarious; you could just about fade their foreign currency predictions profitably. Whether or not these people are deliberately doing "opinion shapping"; I don't know; but you certainly can't pay any attention to them. With regard to "if you listened to me last week"---If you listened to me several weeks ago; I put you short the Euro from 1.33 so you could make some serious change; why? it's the top of it's trading range and the dollar rally was getting old. don't ever read bank analysis.

"NSA leaker Edward Snowden has chosen to take political asylum in Venezuela, tweeted senior Russian State Duma official Aleksey Pushkov, although he deleted the post minutes later.

“Predictably, Snowden has agreed to [Venezuelan President Nicolas] Maduro’s offer of political asylum. Apparently, this option appeared most reliable to Snowden,” Pushkov, the head of the lower house’s Committee on Foreign Affairs tweeted. "

Research proves that over 90% of the time market prices revert towards the inside of the trading channel. Buying, or selling, "breakouts" is a good way to make sure you don;'t have to pay any income taxes this year; because you won't have any income. I closed my Euro short last week; As JP Morgan said, "I sold too early". I want the 90%probable profit; Then I'm focusing on the next thing that's guaranteed to pay me; which in this case was Live Beef. In short; the probability that the Euro will continue down at this time is very, very, low. It broke the 28 handle during it's last cycle down a couple of months ago, also; and of course, rallied back all the way to the top of its trading range. Forget about "support" and start understanding trading ranges.

Avoid currency risk entirely by buying obliterated gold and (even better) silver. Who knows maybe some Government on the planet will find it within themselves to print a single copper penny and actually find it redeemable. I know that's how I'd pay for all this bullshit passing as money these days. One friggin copper penny should do it.

I don't have any worthwhile thoughts VH but I went back and watched this and what is striking to me is listenting from the 1 min 30 second mark to the 2 minute and 30 second mark.

Funny that gold was essentially in the same place as it is right now, and the euro is damn close too.

exactly. The main difference was that back then, crude and stocks were getting demolished by the idea. Today, Crude is 30 bucks higher and the dow is 5k points higher.

There is your 85 billion dollars a month at work, is all I can guess, and why we are living in fantasy land. I just can't figure out how much longer we can do it.

Ice Cream Man,

The Euro tends to reverse somewhere between the second and third deviation on the Weekly chart.  Set your Bollinger Bands with both deviation settings and you can see what I mean,

Also, the 76.4 % Fibonacci retracement (a level that is favoured by Goldman's Jan Hatzius...) hasn't been hit yet at 1.267.  Draw the Fibo from the low of August of 2005 and the high of July 2008. This will be the second re-test of that level and, with strong down candles on the Weekly and Monthly charts, there could quite easily be a full 100% retracement back to the 1.16-level.

There was absolutely no technial reason to make this call by Stolper, so the question does beg as to motivation.

:D

There are no Fibonacci's. I've never heard of Stolper; why would anyone bother reading him. Always take profits early. I reccomended this pair as a short here at 1.33; and took profits @1.293. There'll be more opportunities to short the Euro. Don't get interested in low probabilitiy events. Remember there are a lot of powerful people who don't want to see the Euro at 1.26.

No need to think when you have Stolper. Wait for him to close the latest reco at a "loss" before you go long.

The stop loss was 1.28 so the muppets are out already.

When you enter a trade these days, most anyone uses OCO orders where they specify the price target and stop loss point as soon as the position is entered.

Exiting is automatic.

Yes, it's oversold. Prices are unstable. both going up and going down; market prices overshoot. The probability that the price will stabilize and rally within a two week time frame is over 90%; neverless I willl not trade this. The Euro is doomed and no one knows the hour or the day; therefore I only short the tops of the rallies.Sooner or later the bottom will falll out.

 Now that the ECB has circumvented the democratic process and sovereignty of those heavily indebted countries they are ready for the privatization program where all their national assets get sold off for a fraction of their worth to banks and multinationals. The ECB and big banks probably have been selling the euro off and buying dollars then when the euro has finished falling they buy back the euro, and now those national assets are a lot cheaper. On top of that the taxpayers get saddled with the expense of the committee(bankers and foreign finance ministers) that processes the liquidation. Same old game.
