last h closed above 1386 and 1400.. a bullish sign alone.. but it was bullish into Resistance. that not a bullish sign either necessarily overall. London will roll in 2 hrs.. above 1417 more likely to be bullish, but still into 145x Resistance.. bear wise L roll below 1386 is more likely to be bearish. the trend this year has been bullish.. but closer to the higher end of that 1.17ish range atm.. setting up a wtf soon with this compression at 1386 and 1417..
s/o out my short.. back in new short 1420.. London testing 1417 close atm

{quote} Does that mean the third attempt of testing the borderline of the range will be the last one and then direction will be clear?
not really... i am still playing off R 145x.. with 1417 in mind and nfp rejecting it..

at any given time, you have an equal amount of trades long or short. so it makes perfect sense. you cant enter a short position w/o someone willing to buy the other side.

London will be closed in 40 mins more!
What is your SL for this trade Gator?
I think if 1h closed above 1445 would be bad for this trade!

L rolled bullish side of 1417.. R near 1439 should be tested or further. dt for bulls needs to be broken.. if one has a bullish bias. once dt is broken. u may get a chance later to buy 1375

i haven't closed s yet.. still selling toward 1459. as for as i am concerned, London closed already at 1428.. below 1428, closes may be testing 1417.. and below 1417, 1386 this week.

st a dt at 1439...

all looks bullish including day now, again. it's still bullish into R.. strength of anticipated 145xR unknown.. dt 144x/1439.. that 145x area is why i am short.. if it remains bullish, it will break that dt.. even so, u still may be able to long later after 1375, especially if 145x rejects.

Hi Gator, thank you for all your insights, I've been reading on this thread for years, not posting much tho, I always look out for your posts, which are the ones I've learned the most from.
the momentum seems to still be to the upside, what is driving this pair in your opinion?
i know you are a tech guy mainly but is there any long term fundamentals backing it up?

tech wise the window is 16xx (last high) and 11xx... so atm were still in the sell window for 0.93xx. 1316 was a target.. moving above 1316 is still within a minimal 1316 target.. a smaller target at 1459.. but that being st i give it less emphasis.. anytime now may be enough.. the closes place it on the higher side toward R. i dont know for sure if 145x will hold R. its where i have it.. and its in the face of a strong bull.. if correct about R, it may take lots of time to turn the ship.. meanwhile i am not overloading the boat..

{quote} I think the weekly candle ended was just a break from the bull! It gave the bottom tail longer than the top tail and one more thing is the previous candle was a full bullish one. That made my mind think that it is just a break, a pull back for retrace of the bull and the bull trend will continuous going higher to 15xx-17xx then drop. I will watch closely the this weekly bottom at 1312 and the previous one at 1171. If it breaks those level, I will keep this trade for months(but I think it will go higher to create a nice reversal weekly candle as couple of previous one). One more think, the previous monthly candle was ended with full bullish one also. It did not look like a reversal one yet. Sometimes, I know we do not need a nicely doji bearish candle to think about a reversal but the overall picture of the 3 previous monthly candle did not look like this month candle will give a LL than the previous month! Might be this month will be ended with a doji bearish candle one! But I want to see it pop up higher than 1445 then come back close below 1417! I also know that it will face with a strong R around 15xx-17xx there ! But this is just my personal idea! How do you think about it buddy? {image}

std.. vacation starting thursday..
Are you gona take a vacation?
When will you come back?

Weekly doji looks fake for me!
I like the HH or LL inside the doji candle!
This time we had a LL doji candle on weekly chart which does not look attractive reversal signal for me!
Let see if it hit 1469-1475 during London session or not!

What is your take on EJ Gator?
im short since 3009 but don't like what is happening with the EU that keeps creeping up, considering closing it at a loss

yeah.. i usually dont bring electronics.. i may this time.. not a long one, just 11 or 12 days in big sky Montana or Wyoming ish. just getting the head right.. All still looks bullish, 1459 was a target. i did expect some Resistance in that area.. atm high 1479.. so i was wrong about that R holding. since 1459 end up being hit it may tire. the day week month quarter still look bullish. 60 min has small dt. a long may be in the future 1375/1311 if one has patience. 1417 for months and this week 1386 may be a s/r. to get to 1375 it has to get below both.. it may not happen.. but if it did still watch the closes below.. especially if 1311 falls.. as a general rule when a target like 1459 is hit i would exit if long. i did this too early at 1316.. i still think eu is extended. but dont want to influence anyone with all the closes being bullish..
