Euro always run up at the quarter end , don't think this quarter will be exception, don't know what number big boys have in their mind, before they said 1200, now feels like they want it higher

We have government elections in Germany on Sunday. Think of that if you want to trade the Euro!

I'll long around 187x/6x/5x and short around 202x/3x/4x target around 193x-196x for both, my bias is ranging for now
Might break higher at the end of next week, not sure, wait to see..

{quote} I didn't short 1.194X but took profit. Initially was looking to short 1.1984 but that plan is cancelled. Currently long 1.1968 SL hard stop below 1.1954 need 1.1964 to do its magic. Market pulled everyone short I'm now looking to trigger SL above 1.2030. Will reassess end of hour.

Closed with a few. Not worth the wait ...looks like it will range till end of day. Im out.

its the last week of the month.. admittedly i am a little scared the week opened below 1901 and 1907. it did close above... but opening below isn't the best sign. i do need 2030+ to make me feel ok. i wouldn't call it bearish with closes above 1901.. 2166 is still a norm..

was -11.. now +1.. i played 1901/1907 as supportive close wise. i could have used 1894/197x area... any guess is as good as another. the last L day close was above previous. at 1967... day b4 1930

rarely do we see news up and then completely reversed and then back up in again in a short period of time (i.e same day)... Daily is bearish imo... monthly i cannot comment as i don't feel that 2 days of reversal should count for 22 or so of other trading... imo as close to 1.1818/20 is probably going to be better entry... hard to get to grips with on such a straight move... once the high has been broker... usually there is a retrace... 1.2057 was my number... i sold it and closed it... very prematurely, and regrettably. but i think we are heading...
its as close as i can get to the old chart... glad i booked profit, i didnt reload...

i think we going to break TL + Daily H/S

if 187x dont hold it.. 1847/50 area might be another supportive area. month close coming. 1901 may be in play later in week, the week/day are bearish with close. the month bullish. the week and day close is above 1901.. what scares me was the open for day/week being below 1901

in a few hours, with the benefit of hindsight. 1847/50 may have been a better entry. its also a adr area. it has a week pp and a TL in there also. i went with mpp 1877/1882 as supportive.. i may be wrong and early about 1877/82 and 1847/50.. still long and maybe wrong. or it may be back testing 1967 & adr today. 1847 or 1967

if it closes below 1845, then its breakouts of head and shoulders pattern, . wait to see.. might not happen due to the quarter end,,. if it does, I will short this all the way to 1600s

near sl missed .. moving stop up 5.. and gradually up after.. possible short 1898 with R 1901/1907... will still be long myself. i do need a L close 1931+.. 12 h was 1930. 2 h to go.

micro tf may bounce it soon at 1872/70 area
