L close missed closing above 1979.. being below yesterday's close. may help the 1876/77 norm. the trend is up week/month...the day has closed lower now 2 in a row, there is a 1876.x norm..
the bounce distance from today's low =X. X - today's low = 187x

My SL was .1923 on that long not 1930 . Ive seen price reverse many times on XX26 . I closed my long manually @ 1937 . We might have missed the boat on that long looking at the current price level. How much does NY close means to you as opposed to London close (I got 1958 / 11:30AM EST or 1967 / 12 PM EST).

Thinking to add pending short 1988 SL 1996 (what do you think?)

still looking to short after 2166 or long after 1876/77.. not short or long atm. R 1994,, but 2009 st looks more likely. some R above it at 2019 and stronger 2030 close wise. The week and month are green on their close. to keep the L week green 2030 is one to watch. to keep the month 1901.. i have pendings at 1880 thinking 1876/77 will be hit. i dont know if it can get below support at 1901.. i will not long or short till 1901 ish or 2030 ish. its chop in the middle. the trend is up, i have it going to 2166 as normal. shorter term 2009 or 1876.x are normal.

a london roll below 1958 increases odds 1901 support will be tested. norm not far below at 1876.x/166x. L roll above 1979 should increase odds for 2009 and a 2030 test. if the L close is 1960 or above it does increase toward 2009/30 too.

my hope/plan for 1880 (1876.x) entry is a spike to it. then a quick rejection and close above 1901.. in a wtf bull move higher..

atm R held.. the L roll in a little more than 2 hrs.. 1958 still in the game.. i didnt get the 2030 s entry.. i will close the one pending, either 2030 or 1880.. when the other is hit. even after one is hit.. the other may act as S/R.. 2030 or more so 1901 as well as 1877 ish.. my entry is above a few pips, because of spread.

just a touch of 1876.6 is ok.. watch if it closes above 1901 after leaving a 26 pip wick is good.

{quote} hard to get 1876 today ... already 90 adr
if it closes above 1901 w/o going below.. it may do it later on, and close above 1901 tomorrow. i got time.. if it closes below 1901.. it may be a little more chance of 1876 not holding. not necessarily bearish, but probably less bullish..

its not written in stone it will make it to 1876.x.. 1901 is a monthly s/r. being this far down. the norm of 1876.x has some pull..

what will make it more bearish. a break of 187x?
