Forex trading crowds have aggressively faded the US Dollar (ticker: USDOLLAR) declines against the Euro, and our sentiment-based trading strategies are now long USD and call for new EURUSD loses.

It remains to be seen if the EURUSD holds the July low at 1.2040/45, which we expect to break now that the European Central Bank has indicated that no new bond buying measures will be in place in the near-term; this in turn should give way to sharp declines by Italian and Spanish sovereign bonds, which will pressure the Euro across the board.
