{quote} Gator, we have 1.1795x as the mid of the entire move down from 1.1909 and it's projected as the first target (150%). Remember that UM I mentioned a couple of days ago at 1.1855 - now have it as the extended target (225)....
the sell norm at 1766.6/1846 for 1523.. i may be wrong,, it did close a lower day. and it was below the week of 1755. i cant say i would be surprised to see it below 1705 Friday L close

if below 1732 it dramatically increases my odds.

If E. has bottomed at 1.1681 today then this upmove won't be kidding . It won't give the opportunity to get in long to anybody who expects a decent correction.
In case it did not bottom out long term then there will be conciderable weakness and softness soon.

PA will tell us the story...

I ll buy at 1.17 60 if given...

Yep, and I'm using a different swing too (1910 - 1785), but I remember you saying years ago that it was like a dog marking his territory --- the market has respected almost every level on that particular sequence so far.....

i like to look at the size of the 1-4 hr bar..zoom out..and see how often it gets any larger than that..and say...hell no.. lol..short either way. stop just a little higher at 797 for me though

a decent shot of a Long near/above 1732... but below the chances greatly decrease. atm at current levels.. the normal attraction is below 1732

the ways to make money, or lose it, is infinite. whatever works is ok with me. if it had dropped a few more pips earlier, i would have longed and closed by now. holding this same short.

i think it has an attraction to 1719 or 1729.. both of these are below 1732.. along with the closes and ADR. i see 179x as a tough row to hoe. but we get a new day in 2 hours.. can it close under 1733? if bullish biased.. place a L entry at 1734x, with a 3 pip stop.. stop at 1732.4

Yeah. That is what I am thinking too.
Around or below 173ish before day end would help this short.
I think even it rally up to 179ish or 182ish, it still needs to pull back around 176ish, 177ish before going higher.
My bias is keep shorting against 1841
