{quote} still Long but will close 1817. last 12h L close was above 1841. so i think 1866 or more will get a visit. those R still in the 185x area remain. 1866 is slightly below the high and 1826 mid point. nfp coming. yest 1866 L day was bullish side. the 12h was below. but still above 1841 and 1826. L close will be the next day and a new 12h.. above 1866 probably isn't bearish. at current low 1868 is in sight.. slightly above 1866..
Gator,
in relation to 1826, could you check my post - https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...0#post10149540

if wrong about being long atm. Some R at 1855 and 59 with 1866. all looks bullish. if market dont like nfp, i have little doubt it could end up at 1713 on friday roll. so if this attempt at 1868 doesn't close London above 1866 and worse below 1826. if nfp looks bearish i will be short for 1703 attempt. i closed my long +3 for now. looking to hunt tomorrow, after news. got a pending L 1786. tempted to s london if below 1866 roll

1868 tagged and all looks bullish, a HH yesterday, month week etc. now it has to hold it on that adp pump. a lot of nfp may be priced in.

some R at 1870 now, but I think today is bullish day also. 1832 is today support now, if I scalp long, 1832 would be my SL

adp took out 1900+.. it dropped, then returned to 1868+. its either bullish or bearish now. adp was eu bullish. it printed a bullish move with trend. nfp, if as expected, it may be priced in from adp move. if its priced in, at a high. the least path may be down. lots of speculation that can't be proven pro or con. its been pumping for months. its in that 1891 area. i prefer to be long skeptical near 1891/1904 until some large closes above. 1904 the last rung b4 2134. it went above both yesterday and retreated. its since retraced 1/2 of that move to 1868. kinda a st crossroads here

So we will wait until tomorrow new(nfc) then.
If priced in already, we will short.
Today support at 1831, if it breaks, another support around 1785-1790 for another long.
Pending order for S/L @ 1790/(15) and 1905(15)
It looks ranging to me today!
Overall trend is bullish but GU was dropping down like crazy so that pull the EU pairs down a bit I think!

nfp isn't known yet. some closes below 1841 and 1826 should help theory. since nfp hasn't happened. that support at 1784 may hold. if so, a bounce from 1784 to 1846 cant be overlooked. 1846 area tomorrow at nfp release time would be poetic. atm level is 1846 and testing 1841.. if so 1658 seems wanted, some support 1657

I think for the small tf, it will get back to 185x then retest the H or breaks Higher. If not breaking any HH, there will be ranging around 184x-88x until NFC
I was about to long at 184x this morning but canceled in the last minus b/c today is Thursday!
I am not gona get any pips if I keep getting greedy and worry like this lol!

4h chart gives good R at 1889, I should have shorted right there !

Pending order with small position @ 185x

Same me here I believe they always pre-pump the news then drop ...I may have missed my entries but I think it might false break daily high then reverse tonight ...hopefully I get filled or else will be take a small loss...

I am quick scaling at 1882 for few pips. Going to sleep soon. Too risky right now. I cancelled my pending at 1890. Will watch. I am expecting NFP Green. Volatility will shoot straight up for 1909 then drop. But I can be totally wrong.
