Expect A Euro Bounce And Bank It

Trading Discussion
1

Have you tried to find someone bullish on the Euro CurrencyShares Euro Trust (NYSE:FXE)? I have had no success in finding anyone out there that is bullish. What does that mean? It means I am moving to the bullish side on the Euro and slightly bearish on dollar. Why would I do this? The short Euro trade has been done to death in the short term. Over the weekend, every financial media outlet was talking about the Euro crashing, coming to par with the Dollar. Every analyst was saying the same thing as well. The trade is far too crowded to the short side on the Euro and in my opinion, expect a sharp bounce later this week. It may not be a long bounce, but it will be steep.

Stocks and ETF’s to play if this happens are all in the commodity arena. Look at an ETF like United States Oil Fund LP (NYSE:USO) or stocks like Southern Copper Corporation (NYSE:SCCO), AK Steel Holding Corporation (NYSE:AKS) or Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX). These will most likely have a sharp snap back rally on any weakness in the Dollar which would come from strength in the Euro.

What happened to the Euro bounce?

Euro (FXE) call worked out nicely. We were long at average price of of $122.45 and sold for $2.00 profit. We then went bearish on the Euro as it hammered on the lows at $121.50. The pattern, price and timing methodology we practice and teach all signaled a break lower. After the nailed break down, it now looks like another bounce may be coming. Euro up nicely today.
