obviously posts missing, will wait and see if there's any update and whether or not it screws anything up haven't been following the market till now will the 1.3144 be broken ? lines on my chart indicate 'some' support below 1.3144 , so the next 4H could hit and rally back up a bit from say the high 20s before today's close Italian voting 'projections' keep changing so the final 'news' isn't yet available and as 'exit polls and projections based on the count contradict each other' it's still a period of 'rumour', and, 'Stefano Fassina of Bersani's leftwing Democratic party is predicting another election: "The scenario from the projections we have seen so far suggest there will be no stable government and we would need to return to the polls." It was unrealistic to imagine a broad coalition between the centre-left and the centre-right led by Silvio Berlusconi, he told Rai.' - sounds like another Greece have to go out but may update again before the close 9:40am pst
RE-POST Weekly Update - intro - based on weekly analysis, Saturday February 23, 2013 DX: in a very general sense the US $ sets the pace for some of the other currencies accept that the price formation between 2008 - 2011 was a base, an inverted H&S reversal formation, and it's easy to accept the $'s been a Buy since April 2011 beginning in February this year the $ began a new start toward higher highs first break 82.00 , then, 83 ? AUSUSD: presuming the aus topped in 2011 , it's all downhill from here this week the Aus should break the 1.023 level, and either break the more important level of 1.013 , or pause there GBPUSD: at the height of the US Civil War in 1864 , it took better than $13.86 to buy 1 Pound, then in 1985 the $ was finally at near par with the Pound - $1.052 after reaching a high in 2007 the Pound's been declining. for several years 1.5272 was a support level one could be fairly confident the price would bounce off and up from, but this week the price broke thru and closed below it. 1.5064 break 1.49 ??? NZDUSD: is one of those currencies bucking the trend - continuing to rise, but, has topped. offers a good Sell opportunity since it's early in it's downside first break, 0.8277 , and depending how fast the drop is, 0.8171 USDCAD: while the $ did an H&$ the C$ futures contract made a double top so for the spot fx we're looking at the price travelling in the opposite direction - UP see if it breaks 1.032 , then up to 1.035 USDCHF: the Swissy's just started its next leg up. break 0.934 , then . . . USDJPY: the question for the Yen buyers is 'how high's the jpy going ?' in 1982 the jpy reached 278.312 , so it's got a way to go to reach That level again nearer term, 95.18 and, possible ? hit or break ? 97.25 Analysis for Tuesday February 26, 2013 Full official results are expected by early Tuesday - deadlock 'How Italy's election works': http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/02/24/us-italy-vote-system-idUSBRE91N05B20130224 I thought it kind of sneaky how the price pricked the 1.38 , rallied, but then dipped under again and into the gap, then came up to play with that level I believe we've - the price has a base now and will rally; 1.31 presuming it does so is the first target. can it get up to the 1.3140/50 area ? 1.3185 ??? but up at least till the official Italian vote results are out various US home data, Con Conf down ?

on the Weekly Update I'd neglected to include prices. the following prices are the Friday Feb 22 Closes via Alpari NY/US MT4 demo, the DXUS$ via Barchart implied but unstated, the Buy or Sell recommendations are also added - DXUS$: 81.5850 - Buy AUSUSD: 1.03182 - Sell GBPUSD: 1.51595 - Sell NZDUSD: 0.83775 - Sell USDCAD: 1.02137 - Buy USDCHF: 0.92946 - Buy USDJPY: 93.9630 - Buy Analysis for Wednesday February 27, 2013 the Italian election, is there a price pause on to see if a coalitions forms ? yesterday's LL went thru the bottom gl and another gl, but did stop at sdc lines on a couple of tfs and significant fibo levels. never made it back up to 1.3123 , currently flirting with the 1.3061, the price appears to some extent to be replicating the price formation of Jan 3-9 , a correction and base prior to that next rally. one can only take the 'replication' so far, but, lets work on the basis of a correction formation is continuing, so, rallies will be small. first target is the gl at 1.3080 ; looking at yester- day's early 60s bars, could that be the left shoulder of an H&S, and currently the price is going to . . . replicate a similar formation ? then, decline ? 1.3085 is the significant area to be aware of whilst holding a Buy. if the price contin- ues higher, 1.3117 is the area to watch how the price reacts ? - interacts and if it's appearing to travel higher and if it breaks thru - not just penetrates and retreats at the 1.3123 level it will hit the ml of one of the previously mentioned sdcs, there, it may stall. but the price breaking thru that level allows for a lot more upside but, notwithstanding all that, could the price just decline from here ? 1.3050 ! . . . 3:56pm pst
Weeks: spur of the moment to do these, portfolio rather than just individual analysis of the majors and missed including the euro. the jpy trade was wrong from the start and a couple of the others questionable, but the trades will be held for now thru the Friday sequester Analysis for Wednesday February 27, 2013 the price is still holding above the mls after hitting various fibos. believe we've got some more upside and target 1.3185 , topping ? in H11 ? a correction during this 4H, down to 1.3117 ? 1.3106 ? only to 1.3128? then rally ? could it go to 1.3250 ??? some EU data night session GDP down ?

Analysis for Friday March 1 , 2013 $ target levels: 82.20 , 82.50 83.00 . the $ is considered to be the beneficiary of the sequester. having closed on a line last week it's now thru, up and beyond it, so the euro 'must' continue to fall little upside seen for the euro, it's in the gap and may break 1.38 again, but unlikely to travel much higher, an extreme would be 1.3123 the downside could be large, drop thru several gaps, break 1.29 into the 1.2880s if you trade more than the currencies, fx, check this info about futures' CFDs http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=260191 4:10pm pst
