HH on monthly 2065/2091.
1837 and 1823 are strong S
Even if it breaks the these 2 S, I think it will stay above the previous ML at 1661
for now looks like ranging weeks/months between 1661/2091

Should we short around 1946 ? just scalping 20-30 pips ...
Unemployment claims at 8:30 and Draghi's at 9:30 ...

its around adr. and its small norm.. u might get a chance later for 1901 area again. its worth considering.. i wish the last little drop had got to 1882.

now dragis turn to lf;dvmdfl;dml;s

{quote} 6h h after isn't a bad sign.. it could have easily pushed in below 1907.. all week i had held out for 1911/1836 (1901) to long. as a normal move b4 2150.. near the larger 2166 bear norm.. L day in 6h.. week in 30 h.. if i made the wrong move, 1946/2032 may be a place for bears.. unlikely with a day close above 1901 or a week close above 2030
i did short it 1948 and tp the long 1946.. maybe it will go back to 1907 if the current 1953 high holds.. some Support at 1930 1907 1901 expected. so i will long again later

Gator, I shorted this morning at 1980 to 1200, closed at 1962. Plan to short again around 1200, then 1230 if it gets there, but I feel if this breaks 1233 , it will run to your 2166 within days with the coming quarter end..... I want to ask your expert opinion, between 1230 to 2166, any other price levels we should focus on... thanks

I didn't short 1.194X but took profit. Initially was looking to short 1.1984 but that plan is cancelled. Currently long 1.1968 SL hard stop below 1.1954 need 1.1964 to do its magic. Market pulled everyone short I'm now looking to trigger SL above 1.2030. Will reassess end of hour.

i had figured if it was going to L close above 2030, it should be trying real hard to get there the following h. if so, not in long atm (i already missed). wasn't worth me opening a fresh trade now. i will try to long next week around 193x... subject to change if in this last hour it gets higher toward 2030.. 2030 may provide some R close wise. but eventually it would have to fail to get 2166+.. adr wise 2030 is about 97 pips... adr L wise, its covered 86 pips on the day.. that is near average.

not betting on it.. ny still has a little adr possible either 22 ish pips above the atm high today.. or 22 ish pips below the atm low today. London may have 6ish pips + - its low high.. with 40 min to do it.. average wise. so after L closes ny has time to average some +-.. Average in this case isn't trade-able for me..
