This may sound a bit ridiculous to some but I largely operate on a sine wave basis since I have a military background using sine waves to tune weapons systems and have been able to (somewhat) redesign algorithms to reasonably match it. You would be surprised how similar markets move in that fashion.
At present Euro is right in the middle of an intermediate wave and so it would be a roll of the dice either direction here. And since the Eurozone is under reconstruction fundamentally I definitely prefer the sell side on pull ups.
UsdSingapore and UsdHong Kong are laboring and I believe it is due to money flowing into US stocks and out of Bonds since institutions expectedly took their shot in that one last week. For now.
Although Usd is laboring against those cross pairs I am not seeing carryover into EurGbp or EurChf like there is in the majors and so am not yet enthused about the buy side there. Would need to see more. Money is flowing into those two but the horizon is under pressure.
SO FAR entering the week. I like Australian Dollar, Sterling, to a lesser extent Swiss Franc, and depending on a few things Euro on dips but my preferred side with that one still is the sell side. The buy side of Yen pairs is the best for me entering the week. UsdChf is bottoming in likelihood, but there could be another little stop run downhill prior from here.

With the European Central Bank, Swiss National Bank and Bank of Canada among the major central banks expected to ease policy again this week, markets remain buoyant and Wall Street futures hover near their latest records.
