settling oil purchases in Euros, who would provide the impetus for this? Certainly not the oil states

Nobody would want to settle in euros given its recent track record, but I don't take it as a foregone conclusion that OPEC is in the strong dollar camp. The question is really how they view the Euro, and I haven't the foggiest.
I do find it interesting that they aren't in any rush to get oil prices in the low $20's, as Mr. Clinton recently advised them to. If they wished, they could have done so long ago.

Very bullish chart for the dollar right now.. (read the comments too).

Hopefully we'll see this double top penetrated, which will likely be the result of a sell-off in the Euro and massive short covering in all US markets.

Either way, we'll see the indication by Friday as to which way this breaks.

Any other opinions?
