eurusd trade already on BE before US session. DXY is weaker but until the SP500 won;t brake above 3147 then the further weakness on dollar is limited (96.5 key level).

and finished on breakeven. this 3 hours of rising in eur and 1 hour negating previous is not a good sign for the upside. still sellers are holding strong , SP500 lower too, almost at the lows.

i ended this week on minus. overall analysis were good but wrong execution and timing by me. 

Markets end the week in mixed view , Bonds off the highs gave fuel to SP500  which closed on weekly highs. DXY mixed below weekly open but without direction (just look at EURUSD.. )  . ViX is ending below weekly open and on the lows.
bitcoin gave me the best trades overall but other trades took these profits.

few thoughts about recent market situation:

from last few days there is significant breakdown in correlation between DX and US stock indexes (mainly Sp500) ,also dollar's breaking huge to the dowside so i see this as a change in main market flow . Bonds are drifting above weekly open but without direction.
so what next for stock markets and dollar? i have no clue :D  i will closely watch on Monday what wiil happen first:
- SP500 will catch a bid and will use the situation of weak dollar to rise .
- or DX will catch a little bid and Sp500 will continue further down move.

VIX also in strange situation because it ended week lower the same as Sp500 but almost around weekly open..

considering all my weekend's analysis i made plus very attractive prices on few Indexes like SP 500 , Nasdaq 100 and DJ30 i will buy little positions on these indexes in the first hour of trading. here is also Goldman Sachs sentiment  indicator which suggests we are not there yet ( on the TOP) ... 
EURUSD not adding nothing to my current positions because it gapped lower around 12 pips from Friday close..

to be more precise about my recent EURUSD postion: I am targeting the 1.1579-89 zone or lower  1.1539  with stops above 1.1688 . i  don't see a change in main trend , this is the correction  to the levels where i'll consider any buying.

so far nothing new , the same weak dollar , weak indexes, weak vix story... i will wait more before any buying of SP 500 or other index, until Tokyo or even London. maybe 3190 on SP500 will be tested.

ok what i see now after this 2 hours since the open..

1. Bonds are in very weak uptrend , it doesn;t look like a healthy uptrend..
2. SP 500 is starting to bottom and VIX is finally following.
3. USDJPY trying to reverse despite the overall DXY weakness.
4. 3-4 pips more and i will be stopped out from my EURUSD short from friday and not adding to it.

it is hard situation to figure out all this markets now but i feel like Gold is a bubble , EUR too and will try to buy indexes. will see tomorrow how to play out all of this...

EURUSD short - stopped at 1.1688 , not adding because i have  short on gold and now all is heading in one direction.. 
so i see the possibility of dollar flash crash too when i look at USDCHF , USDJPY, EURUSD it could easily run for fast 200 pips or more clearing the whole market ... this is the risk here.
