{quote} 11xx was all sub 1.0 needed to drop to a new multi year LL. 1316 was a mid term target, 1459 a weaker st target. sub 1.0 window is/was 11xx/17xx. it's here, near 1311 atm. that said if its going to try 1459 again. the atm 1311 low area isn't a bad place to bounce. will it, i dont know. the bigger chart targets 0.93xx. but in the st 1311 area may bounce it some more.
Thank you for the reply!

1311 is very close to 50% weekly pullback there.(My ordered was 1309, missed 2 pips)
I think better to wait for either short at 1459 or could go long with LL price(60% weekly pullback-around 1275), this downtrend looks little strong for me.
This week is fundy week, let these news push it moves first then.
I could miss the entry, if yes, we can scalp some at 1391/1445...

R 1408/17 and probably 1358 ish.. to bounce now from 1311 low.. u probly need closes above 1335 today on the smaller tf and so forth,, to test 1408/17 area... see what happens with the closes above 1335.. its R if not closed above, but its R sh with 1311 as supportish... one will break.. last week and the month, quarter, mid all closed higher.. that's not indicative of bear atm... i suspect it may change here 1.11xx/1.17xx.. to drop to 0.93xx.. hopefully i got one more shot to enter short..

last hour closed below 1335.. not the best st bullish indication to me.. maybe a 1311 test in the picture..

a 5 est close above 1335 would probably help 1378. as for as 1211. i dont know. the week closed higher. and it already retraced to the mid area u spoke of 1311 ish.

So now you have only one set up for this pairs at 1459/74?
For the bottom, I think 1311 would be placed. I am not sure but wont see any LL if it hold at this level.
Will try to short around your level(1407-17) but I wont target for LL, just 30-50 pips max.
Better wait to see how it reacts at 1459 then !

See you tomorrow !

we bring this 1358 lower now to about 1355 as a R,, 1311 so far played well. along with a day closing above 1335. i dont see it bearish except london today rolled below yest. even then, it did a 1/2 mark retrace on last week. to me that dont mean bearish, so much. i still wait for 1459 ish and maybe a double top in that area to possibly develop. granted to me, since above 11xx and especially 1316.. i have looked for a reason to short. day and above to me still bullish

If it breaks 1311 and drop further down side, 60% of weekly at 1275 and 100% at 1170 would give a nice retrace for scalping, dont you think?
I wont go more than 30 pips
For the upside, I will wait for double top then short !

i see it compressing between 1353 and 1314 now. i still have it bullish making a test of 145x ish likely. 1335 to me still important at least in the next 12.5 hrs.. in 15 min that 1/2 close above 1335 isn't bearish to me... above 1335 to me makes it more bullish than bearish.. but its still thursday. & i think its stronger above 1409 at friday's L roll. some attraction to 1378 likely

this 1/2 hour closed 1340.. still above 1335.. popping above 1353 wouldn't hurt analysis. it would be above compression of 1353/1314.
it would be nice if NFP concurred.

next test to me is if London can roll 1409+.. since it reached 1378.. it may have some other bears trying to position. 1378/1445 ish. i am less concerned about 1459 since it was st.. i am more likely to look to short anywhere around 145x ish.. not necessarily 1459. 1409/1417 may provide some R. no sure way of knowing it these will be tested. i suspect if lodon rolls 1409+ the highs and 1459 have a better chance. especially if Friday London rolls 1409 or 1417+

from yesterday, anything above 1335 on the bull side in today's L roll. tomorrow is Friday with a NFP release. above 1409 or 1417 on London and Ny close should be bullish.. but the question is.. is it bullish into 145x resistance, with enough strength to hold.. or will it be rejected? momentum wise this along with day, week, month, 1/4, 1/2 would be bullish... that's strong signals.. but it dont mean R will break.. but it is likely to be tested.

i explained it.. i just watched the closes.. if the closes are higher, i can't call that bearish. The closes being higher or lower take out any bias.. they are measurable..black and white. less grey area. when it hits R it may change. 1459 ish is R.. it will break or it will not.. earlier this week it retraced a candle..
