Hi Xymox,
I love reading your posts...they're a real education.
I noticed your YM chart...are you saying that because we're below the horizontal support, we're going further down there?
I'm keen to hear what you think will happen next week. I have been pointing out on my thread on ADVFN, that the USD/Yen was falling because of the g7 meeting this weekend. Perhaps if the carry trade picks up again on Monday (if nothing is said during the meeting), we will see fresh liquidity back in the markets?
Would love to hear your views. I know you focus on the S&P but would love to hear what you think will happen to the Dow?
Thanks so much.
The FOMC meeting is the predominant risk, just as before the bonds rallied before the meeting in anticipation, but when the rate cut actually materialized, the bonds tanked, the bigboys needed some wiggle room, and since we were at already premium levels, they needed fresh liquidity to position for FOMC.
BOJ will pump massive amounts of Yen back into the system, they had a false start a few months back of recalling Yen or liquidity. This false start will be rectified, when they realize, the situation can tip over, their economy isn't doing too great, and dollar bearishness is a crowded trade.
Major macro shifts occur when political agendas change. The US election is of paramount importance. The GOP just basically pilfered the Treasury with profiteering to its lobbyists. Billions of dollars are unaccounted for, its a massive heist of taxpayer funds all in the name of War. The dollar bears will encounter significant risk as the election nears. The american public is tired of Bush and his cronies, fresh new faces will revitalize hopes and dreams for this nation.
As for the DOW/Spooz, I think we have a significant opportunity to head higher, enough pessimism is in the system now to fuel it higher. Markets fall apart from euphoric heights. The other timing point I am looking at is the construction of the WTC site, as the tower builds up equity indicies should rise with it.
The world is looking bright especially for technology driven moneyflows.
