2/8/2010 - A look at the Euro

The Euro has been absolutely pounded because of the default fears over Greece and other European countries.  This "crash" is reminiscent of the 2008 financial crisis, and as long as the Euro falls against the dollar, US equities will continue to fall.  What's troubling is that the eur/usd chart has broken the 360 MA.  However, I do see a temporary bottom based on the reversal candlestick pattern, and we could see a sharp rally to re-test the 50 EMA soon.  This would give a chance to dump long positions.

  2. Added more analysis for the next week. I opened up some shorts on Thursday and was excited when the Fed announced the rate hike, but unfortunately it turned out to be a non-event. I will cover my positions if Monday is bullish by the close.
