Nice thing is it's a Monthly & therefore, if it's real, {could be a 3,000 Pip Move} you will have sufficient time for Confirmation on the Weekly down to the Daily.
Compare it's "Local Strength" to the previous Low Pin I marked.
The Weekly looks to me that you could be attempting the "Catch a falling dagger" scenario. That plus a PPZ (200 Pips above).
I'm not sure where the Euro is going to find the strength.
Yesterday's News...June 29th 2010
*************
Here?s where today?s market sell-off started last night: CHINA. However we need to give credit where credit is due. Specifically: American ?economists? in New York working at The Conference Board, Inc. at 845 Third Avenue (our literal neighbors here in midtown Manhattan).
"Shanghai stocks were slammed today, down 4.6%. The Conference Board Inc. reported today that its leading indicator for Chinese economic activity actually rose by just 0.3% in April, rather than 1.7% as previously reported, due to a calculation error."
The mistake was also referred to as, ?weapons grade stupidity.?
Following the close of Asian trading sessions, Europe had its own set of problems. Namely: the ECB (European Central Bank) held a bond auction but no buyers showed up. That?s a slight exaggeration, however, they tried to sell 55 billion Euros worth of new bonds to raise money to bail various EU country states, however, they were only able to sell 32 billion Euros worth (that?s just 60% of what they were looking for)? AND THEY WERE FORCED TO PAY THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE INTERST RATE ON THE DEBT POSSIBLE. Ouch.

{Mike; That's a Financial Currency Strategy}
I'm sure Mike will respond. This is just my personal opinion.
It could be a great Trade but I would sit the sidelines for now.

Hey aserb... I'm glad you like it. It took me a while to assimilate my thoughts when I first noticed it.
Got any others you would care to post?
I'd really like to have a look at them.
btw. That goes for anyone else. Post Your ICCE Charts over Here
You should know by now that J16 Group is about assisting you in understanding this maze.
If you don't Ask your question, you may still not know the answer in the Years to come.
Like Mike {MB} says...
There ARE no silly questions.
I speak for myself but feel the rest of us {& by that I mean The Entire Group} would agree.
If you don't understand something being posted here, then Please ask for an explanation.
Edit* No slight on Mike. He does a yeoman job but I think it might be nice if the Load were spread. End Edit*
The intention is to Assist, not intimidate....
Ramble ramble....
Hey;
Anybody had a look at the EURAUD Daily lately?
OPPORTUNITYISNOWHERE. at least it's close...

I'm interested in knowing what factors preclude you from Buyng AUD at the moment. I must have missed them but that's not improbable.
& yes. Your read on my bias is correct. I'm looking to Short this pair but I still can't see "The Whites of their {Bull} Eyes"
Not in bed with the Stohs but having a drink with the RSI.

I'll leave the J16 PA for Mike to address but wanted to comment on this one if that's ok.
I agree with the Q?
"Solid support. Can this hold one more time?"
I Suspect that it will.
IF AND:
If it does
And it climbs to FTA4; we will be setup for a Potential H&S so I would expect a bit of a fight there.
If the Support fails it would suggest to me that the Bears are Hunting Parity again.

Thanks in advance.

Not Gann. I'm not that smart. it's just a little diddy I've been working on over the years.
The ind. is posted over here somewhere. I called it ICCE

GBPUSD
I know some folks are watching GBPUSD as they are holding Long positions.
Wish I had got In where some of them did.
Lokks pretty comfy to me.

Close it for a loss? (cut it for 50 pips loss)
Hope it will come back into profit?
Let it be and see if it go to stop you out for 90 pips?
Would be very thankful for any advice on this. Thanks!

Re-evaluate the chart & consider if you would take the Trade right now with a 40P Stop.

Is it still valid?
In my book, Capital Preservation ranks higher than Capital Growth.

This stop management is yet a problem for me yes.

Before I take a Trade I evaluate Both the Risk & the Potential.
The attached is merely an example & not a reccomendation.
Let's say I have a reason to Buy the EURUSD.
Where do I think it is headed?
If I'm Wrong, how Much am I willing to Risk?
Obviously I'm not going to Risk 900P on a Trade I think has a Potential of +154P;
So; Risk 83P.
Now I have to think about How Many Lots should I buy?
Let's see...
1 Full Lot would be Risking $830.00 of the account.
Is that less than 2% of the Account? If Yes, I'm good to Go. If Not, What fraction of a Full Lot can I Buy with 2% of the Account.
Does that help?

First. I think I recognize the typing style on that Chart. 
Second. I would Love to have taken Every One of those Trades.
Stop Levels are a very personal thing but if you had simply placed your SL at the Opposite end of the Signal Bar or even the Trigger Bar, you wouldn't have been Stopped out of any of these Trades until you were nicely in Profit.

I should actually ask Mike to explain this but my description was intended as;
Signal Bar: The Pin Bar.
Trigger Bar: The bar that confirmed/broke beyond the Pin Bar.
Mike?

I think we would need ~0.8260 within a week or so {then it could hover for another few days} to form the other Shoulder first.

That difference is due to Different Brkrs "Workdays" being different.
Looks like Johnnies Brkr Opens an Hour After Yours. Therfore Johnies 4Hr Bars Open & Close 1 Hr after yours.

EDIT: this is a 4H chart of EUR/AUD

I think a Short might have paid off {still might} but not to the levels you were looking for.
" chart-patterns/saucer-bottom.html
A saucer bottom pattern, also called a cup and handle, etc., is a pretty often used pattern for recognizing "breakouts" and a trend change.
As a commodities price trends down to form the bottom of the saucer, open interest and volume start to dry up as people become disinterested.
The price rises up a little and starts a sideways trend, also known as the "handle" in a cup and handle formation. The "handle" may even trend down a bit.
As the price breaks above the "handle" on higher volume, it usually signals a trend change.
The price may trend down some after the initial breakout, and the "handle" should now provide support if the trend change is valid.

I can see using Matty & Jim's suggestions more often because I hit Ctrl+F5 instead of F6 & changed Profile by accident.
