boras schlossberg. boras, i think the $1 trillion currency question is very simple.e of anticipation to the fed, or will the dollar really start to move once the fed raises rates, assuming it does. >> assuming it does the dollar will continue to move. but today, my topic of the day was, where are the euro bulls. i think the single biggest issue is where the euro is now is that sentiment is unbelievably skewed. all the banks are tripping over themselves forecasting, 90 95 cents to the euro in the near-term and that kind of linear thinking is very dangerous in the currency market. i think we could be in for a euro bounce if the fed does not signal they're going to raise rates tomorrow. >> you heard boris. a euro bounce is possible. strip out the emotion. what are you seeing in euro dollar? any support out there? >> shorting the euro is like picking kentucky in the office pool. it's the biggest consensus trade out there, but it's also the correct trade. and when you bring up the chart, i'll show you exactly why. first, let's look at that longer term monthly chart of the
