Slow ride down the Euro

So recently the Euro has been on a downward slide; perhaps spiral is the better term. Given the relative cost of holding short positions, it's been easier for me to open and close manual trades on the way down. It's unclear how long this new trend will last in EUR/USD, but in alot of ways it seems to be only building steam. The news of Europe being potentially bankrupt is just starting to float onto the forefront of news; something which folks like Mish have been pointing out for some time.

In other news, is the Australian dollar next on the list for falling out of favor with traders? Critics point to a still yet to pop housing bubble and the high interest rates in the wake of the endless deflation states of the United States and Japan. For now it seems, the commodity bubble is in full swing and that bodes well for the Aussie. It's rebounded nicely from the spring lows. I'll keep my eyes on the dollar, but if you curious at staying more in tune with AUD, check out Rookie Forex. He's been trading the currency for sometime and has strong longterm views and outlooks towards it.
