Draghi Wreaks Havoc on the Euro

I might add to the title the following words, " By Design".

ECB President Mario Draghi, apparently was feeling the heat from Eurozone manufacturing interests, exporters and some politicians, all of whom have been complaining and moaning about the relative strength of the Euro.

It was apparent that his remarks yesterday were designed to try to do something about that and judging from subsequent market price action, it worked!

The Euro fell from up near 1.40 ( a key level in my view that they will not tolerate ) all the way to down below 1.375. That is a drop of nearly 2% in the currency in two days' time. Not bad for a few minutes of speaking! 

I honestly could not handle power like that. I would run around my yard commanding it to mow itself and my flowerbeds to weed themselves if I had that kind of control over stuff! I would also command the tires of the cars that keep speeding through my neighborhood to go flat.



Seriously, look at the chart and the damage that Draghi was able to inflict on the Euro. He flipped the ADX indicator into a bearish mode and while not yet able to get the currency to trend lower, he managed to turn the ADX line higher. That will need to be watched because, IF THE EURO CANNOT HOLD CHART SUPPORT, and this is a big if, we might have just seen the high in this currency for some time. Again, I am not sure but am certainly watching this closely mainly because of the heavy weighting of the Euro in the USDX index.
