Dollar Firm, Awaiting More Bernanke
- venzen commented Jul 18, 2013
The USD and it's direction is not the primary objective on the Fed's agenda. It's all about keeping the market calm with regards to rate expectations: the primary focus is the bond market and specifically bond yields which are rising faster than ...

Helpful pivot analysis. Considering the PA from 19 June - 9 July from an EW perspective there is no clue as to the context of the recent upsurge. Both RSI and MACD give no indication that the Jun-Jul downtrend was a 5 wave actionary drop, so all ...

exactly, I'm thinking MM and position sizing - the article points at the PP tool without contextualizing it. As a converted (and always learning) Elliottician I'm also missing mention of timeframe and trend. But, to be fair, the article has its ...

Thanks for the detailed lesson, @cichy. If I look at charts for e.g. the South African Rand vs USD, the Brazilian Real vs USD, etc I notice there is a recent strengthening of the BRICS currencies, so I guess Bernanke has initiated capital flows back ...

amusing the understatement reuters uses: "corruption storm"... in reality its probably quite a strong sh*t storm for him - what with a "dissatisfied" (p*ssed-off) population @ 25% unemployed and "dissenting" (cannibalistic) right-wing colleagues ...

It's money, it's payment systems, it's the ridiculous fiat system we live with, it's the virtual currency we're phasing into, it's hearing the thud of a large amount of cash in your bank account as a result of the error of a thug organisation. It's ...

Good point well made. Not really understanding bonds and their critical role as an economic barometer, I can only quote this article: url which makes the point that were rates to return quickly to 5.5%, Owners of 30 year T-notes includes virtually ...

"Outright Monetary Transactions" - now there's a outright practical QE name for you. Probably the last legacy of Mr "Big" Draghi before he's out, right? Good line of reasoning for a Bloomberg correspondent: now that the Fed is threatening to remove ...

LG, true what you say. We are both extolling the virtues of identifying highest probability. Give me a piece of your time for some analogies I've been playing over in my mind: Although I am not a fan, I agree with Roger Federer's idea that you "play ...
