FX...
AUD/USD... I'm looking for 82.00 to cap this rally the first time up.

EUR/JPY...137.29 is 200 DMA. 137.93 is major Fib resistance.

We've seen multi-dollar lemming effect trading on these expiration s in the past.
In short...don't get run over trying to fade the tape.
General Comments or Valuable Insight
?My issue with the entire board is how big the adjustment will be in Equity Indices to the recent break in world bond markets.
The first two breaks resulted in initial Index weakness which richly rewarded the VIX trades. Now the breaks in the U.S. Indices are getting shallower while the Dax?fell?victim to the falling Bund and rising Euro.
This thinking lead me to repurchase the UVXY again. If I give back a few percent after collecting close to 20% in the previous trades it's not the end of the world.
I'll be patient with it through the A.M. data releases.
