I think it is bearish now, could drop in the last couple hours!
most small tf charts are saying that but 4h chart has many S just around 176ish-182ish, bears need to break those levels either today or next week then bears will take full control!
But 1661 is strong S on daily tf!
Keep eyes at that level then
1878 atm

I should catch that spike and wait for 1h closes

i kept 1/2 my trade open.. this one is peculiar.. a HH, a H month close. In a bullish trend. Yet the week didnt hold or the day. what bothers me, is. the bulls didnt hold Dragis speech or a worse than expected NFP. i look to buy the dips.. u could say 1865 was a norm. its just that after, it didnt close above 1875.. hopefully NY will..

Its failed to hold Dragis speech level! That is what I was thinking Gator
News came out worse than expected but it still pull back lower, conclusion is the market wants a reversal, turn to bearish!

Remember that in March, when the market wants to go up, we got the rate hike but its spiked up almost 100 pips and completed 150 pips for that day!
I think bears is not easy to take full control right away, we have many S from 177ish to 186ish.

catch you later, have a great weekend !!!

Thanks. I had checked tat out already. It is pretty accurate on a higher timeframe like one week. But in a week, the pips range could be at a 200-400 hundreds. Positions need to be very small to play. Unless u have subscribed and get a daily report.

I note that asset managers are mainly long Euro last week. This is at relatively quite high level. Would it mean bearish Euro next week?

Yeah.. Should you trade near term time frame, I think need to look at H4 revolution.

Ny didnt hold either.. lots of conflict in charts now. week and day are showing it may retrace. the inability to hold 1901 177x are normally a rejection, in the bullish view, its a HH and a higher monthly close. its reached the 1865 mid since high. it did miss 1744 b4 1993.. i dont know where its going. i can see it rejected 1901 and those 187x levels on close.

on the other hand bears dipped below 1826, then were unable to close below (day/week). this too may be a rejection. i dont know for sure. if 1826 was rejected, then it may go higher (thats the trend). i just dont like that 1901 and 187x were rejected on a week close. im still hold a open pending 1.2166 short. still long for 1.2166. definitely not comfortable with those closes -187x.
