The Euro seems a bit stronger at market open this week
EurUsd is up at market open after the Italian elections today predict a hung parliament
This is what was expected, and the Euro is up on the news
because the alternative would have been a government willing to oppose the Eur coin

Shorting the Euro for now

I am short EurUsd since yesterday
I went short before market close because of something that I read
in a forex community post
Traders are positioned long Euro while there are important decisions next week
concerning the future of the Euro in Europe
There is a referendum in Italy, and important talks in Germany
If all goes well, not much happens - but if something goes wrong,
like Italy kicking out the Euro currency and bringing back in the Lira
then all hell will break loose - looks like an oppo…

Opening long USD positions again today

I have opened a few new positions long Usd today
The bounce above 1.10 on Friday was very interesting to me
Technically, 1.10 holding is good news for UsdJpy
I sense a recovery coming - maybe some more strong data ahead
Fundamentally that makes the dollar potentially changing direction again
There could be a lot of pips to be made
I am long UsdNok, UsdSek, UsdMxn and UsdJpy

Short AUD this month

I will be shorting Aud this month
Fundamentals tell me the AudUsd has risen too much too fast
I see possibilities in shorting AudCad, too
It is trapped below the SMA daily 200
I expect AudUsd to return or retrace to 0.97 level
I will trade it and other Aud crosses accordingly

Short GBP at beginning of this month

I am short Gbp to begin the month of trading
I have opened short positions in GbpNzd and GbpAud today at market open
GbpUsd is nearing 1.30 - where I expect resistance
Fundamentally, brexit is still a problem in UK
and recent move up in Gbp will find little ground for a continued move up soon
Technically, I see retracement starting in Gbp crosses
and I will be waiting for more weakness in Gbp

Week Ahead – Inflation and Japan GDP in focus

Inflation will be the most watched data next week as China, the UK and the US report their monthly CPI figures. Japanese GDP numbers will also be important as Japan’s economy continues to show increasing signs of strength, while the Riksbank’s latest monetary policy meeting will likely attract attention too. However, the week’s highlight could come from Fed Chair Yellen’s testimony in Congress, which will be the first since Trump took office.
Japan to post fourth straight quarter of growth

USD my focus this coming month

In this month's contest I will focus on USD
UsdJpy has held its ground above 100,
and as the BOJ threathens to intervene below 100, traders are long for now
Technical analysis still points down on this pair, though
and a channel down is still intact unless UsdJpy breaks above 102
I will be looking to buy just above 100 and above 102 this month
