I do not follow all currencies closely, I cannot say anything about them. But for the EUR and USD, the reaction to the events was predictable back in May and I wrote about it and periodically reminded you of it.
I think everybody understands what we are talking about and it is useless to argue about it. For me one thing is clear, the forecasts, especially the long-term ones, are more the province of science fiction writers. And they certainly do not concern the average trader, who wants to take a pip here and now, and who does not care what the serious guys said in May.

No need to search - the daily analytics of any major DC. Surnames are rarely written. They usually sign it "in-house analyst of so-and-so company" :)
To clarify: give an example-forecast of a "serious analyst"

A pip, you say. Here is the prognosis, we are flat now and go south tomorrow after Asia. Target is 1.41500.

Our pivot point is at 126.15.

Our view: SELL below 126.15 with targets at 125.3 and 125.

Alternate scenario : A break up at 126.15 would open the way to 126.5 and 127.

Analysis : RSI is mixed, but with a bearish trend.

wmlab:


Pips, you say... Here's the forecast - it's flat now and we'll go south tomorrow after Asia. The target is 1.41500.

Thank you. Too bad there is no tester for forecasts, or we could have a look at the modelling quality (25%))

Long-term forecasts have nothing to do with it, you just have to understand the market (what it is waiting for and what it has waited for). The uncles (including Soros) started talking about it back in February, but all sorts of "apocalypses" (Libya, Fukushima) rolled in and they forgot about the US default and the debt of peripheral Eurozone countries, and remembered it when the US state budget limit was exhausted and the deadline for the Greek loan application report in May approached. I have described in detail how the EURUSD will evolve and that there will be no default and that the Eurozone will not collapse and much more ....

Why are you writing after the vote then:

Well, that's it, Obama has shot off... Now what? The market itself doesn't seem to know what to say to all this)

After my explanatory post you write:

Comedians, you got a clever explanation for everything.) If the market had gone the other way round, you'd be reading a different text now.)

Demura has been saying for half a year (if not even a year) that the Eurodollar should only be sold, it is heading towards parity...
 
Giving Euro/Dollar forecasts is probably the most thankless thing to do as their fundamentals are rotten
