Market close for Christmas

While the market closes down for Xmas interesting currency levels become clearer
Usd weakness continues and Usd/Jpy is challenging 120 to the downside

With thin liquidity and most traders home for the holidays it does not seem wise to trade today
The picture will be clearer when the markets open again

Expecting USD to weaken

I expect Usd to weaken soon
Usd should begin to weaken now that the tone is bearish on raising rates
i expect Gbp to profit most from this and show a strong move up soon

and will add Gbp/Nzd long after a bounce from current position
Aud and Nzd are still fundamentally weak and Gbp rise should strengthen most against these currencies
