Expecting Eur/Usd to decline from the 0850 area to around 0825 today  which is our equilibrium point. Prefer entries around 0820 and 0810 if seen for the long side.
We have two highs up there, with the later one a bit lower….does it mean something ?? Not necessarily – it all depends on next few hours – if we start a correction  from here, it might be able to surmount the highs and continue it’s Up move. Otherwise it might just run out of steam .
One idea can be Buying it in 1.08350/400 area with the Stop just below 300 , for the test of previous highs…so risking 5 pips for possible 30-40. Problem is the time and lack of any serious data today…nothing to move it sharply…
This suggests .8500 will remain pivotal as only a firm break would open the door to another leg down.
On the other hand, only a firm break of .8578 would suggest the low is in for now/
Why am I highlighting EURGBP?
1) If you trade EURUSD and/or GBPUSD, you need to keep an eye on EURGBP as flows involving this cross often have an impact on price moves in EURUSD and GBPUSD
2) Month end (Feb 29): I have observed increased activity in EURGBP at month end, which in turn often sees erratic flows not only in the cross but in EURUSD and GBPUSD. So keep a close eye at month end as it can offer trading opportunities in respective pairs as well as in EURGBP. In this regard, watch price action throughout the day but especially leading up to and around the 4 PM London fixing.
Monthly yields are up, yearly yields are down. Not a unanimous vote for the day. Believe Aud/Jpy should hold 98.65. Like long side of Eur/Jpy from 162.50 area still though not expecting much. See 150.30 area holding.
NVIDIA – Whole planet talks about it….it is Viral…it is Hysterical
Even my wife asking about it ( and she couldn’t give a **** about it ) …my younger daughter asks about it ( at least she is just worried if the price for her next generation graphic card will go up )
Till yesterday it was Gold – half a planet bought it on the top….
Now the other half will buy NVIDIA stocks …on the top
Me….I don’t give a flying ****….EUR goes up, EUR goes down…that makes my day…
Eur 1.0810 is a key pivot in our model if it holds the pair is bid, if not it’s a sell. Secondary pivot on the upside is 0830 which should inevitably be targeted if 0910 holds in our model.
this peasant would like ideas on how trade this:

Why huge European Central Bank losses matter
FRANKFURT (Reuters) – The European Central Bank chalked up another large financial loss in 2023, burning through the last of its provisions, and said more losses are forthcoming as high rates push up interest payments to banks.
While the bank said it can operate effectively “regardless of any losses”, the accounts have broader implications – from reputation and independence to state finances. …/.
somehow, knowing my european princes, reputation and independence are not a part of their calculus.
and when it comes to state finances, again by my own understanding, for them it is “my way or a beating” dictates
As noted previously, our friends at Gtwo3.com continue to maintain long positions in nearby Euro futures. A rally through 108.62 could lead to 110.97, or so.
Short for Eur/Jpy is 162.57 with a very, very tight stop. Aud/Jpy is same fashion. Not short Usd/Jpy due to USD strength overall. These are only small pip trades and only for the bored and agile, as well as being counter trades. Purely intra-day. The proper call has been to be long these pairs.
Preference this morning has been a long aud/jpy, long eur/jpy, long usd/jpy so far, but now countering out of boredom and seeing possible exhaustion even if only for small pips
