Most internal metrics with stocks are still on the defensive but the volume ratios are hanging in there so I would not discount the potential for stocks to hold near or below current levels and the Euro in tandem. Shorts in Eu and Aud were exited this morning. Overall risk on remains but not strongly to this point. Preference at Monedge is the long bias when appropriate unless there is widespread adjustment.

* Chatter has spilled into government and finance heavyweights, and has one prominent Wall Street firm wondering if costs associated with the debt pose a risk to the stock market rally.
* The CBO estimates that debt held by the public compared to GDP will rise to “an amount greater than at any point in the nation’s history.”

USDJPY 4 HOUR CHART – A CASE FOR A RETRACEMENT
A CASE CAN STILL BE MADE THAT THE REBOUND FROM 151.85 IS STILL A RETRACEMENT AFTER PAUSING BELOW 156.98 = 61.8% OF 160.16-151.85
wITH THAT SAID, 155 STILL HOLDS THE KEY TO ITS TONE GOING FORWARD.
oN THE DOWNSIDE, 155.97 AND 155.24 STAND AHEAD OIF 155.
WHATEVER, THE CASE, THE joy HAS BEEN THE OUTPERFORMER TODAY DESPITE THE UPTICK IN US BOND YIELDS
Market is on the defensive EU, Usd/Jpy is at a standstill. Exporters want the BOJ to keep markets stale. Two year US Note looks enticing for the bid side into the selling. Believe risk on bias is still present enough in stock and Euro markets to warrant risk on positioning at this point but letting the minutia play out might be prudent. Noting put to call ratios in stock options have creeped in since Friday putting a little pressure on performance.

GBPUSD DAILY CHART – TESTING A KEY RESISTANCE
GBPUSD has tested 1.2708 and as can be seen on this chart is a key resistance.
On the downside (not shown on this chart() a key support is at 1.2643, but 1,27 will likely be the bias setter ahead of a busy week for UK data.
In this regard, CPI will be the highlight, and logic says forecasts for a sharp drop should at some point cap GBPUSD”s upside ahead of it.
