L day closed below previos from 1762 to 1759.. the following 12H closed below 1759.. bearish.. unemployment claims better than expected. all this is eu bearish..


noted it should go to 1760 as a normal pattern. but if it makes a HH the bearish fundies didnt work. when they dont work, it has lots of room to not retrace. i would be very careful with shorts if 1760ish dont contain a bounce.. greater caution if L day closes 1762+

but the lower closes mentioned and unemployment news is eu bearish

it took my 1762 stop.. it should make 1705 or better.. 1704 is the lower L close. 1723 the lower ny close.. those closes are still active.. eu needs those closed below to drop.
pending Long 1707.. for the 1705 target.. stops below 1695... targeting 1850.. buy zone was 1695/1734.. i opt to wait for a smaller target to be hit at 1705..

don't like to trade long but I might give this a try at your 1707 today since it is 90% adr low .. thanks for yesterday's shorts @ 1766, it worked out perfectly...

i had the option to hold till 1705 or close 1734 and long...i opted for later. it held for a few, but the e news was too strong. that tells me the fundies are equalizing some and even good usd news is getting less relevant when it struggles to break 1733. NFP coming big levels on day and week to break or not here..

got an h 2 go on Lday.. close above 1759 may be bullish +1762 is greater one.. below 1759 bears.. even if bullish close, it still may go to 1705, even if a bearish close it may still go to 1766 b5 1705

Wouldnt the move up to 1.1735 make 1.702-1.703 better target symmetry wise

dono.. 1704 is the lowest close needed a close below on day.. 1734 on week.. month has its close lower already.. so if we close above 1704 now.. real close example 1710.... it would be easier for the next day to be above 1710.. 1710 would be a lower close on the week, but not a lower close on the month day wise. that why it encounters support here.. the month says bearish.. but like any candle, it usually retraces some.

I think that it will drop to around 1675 and around 1575 next.
I am not going long this time!
Will try small one around 1675 or lower, bigger one around 1575 or lower, might scalp a little one around 1695 area for 10-20 pips
Missed my short order at 1799 this morning

This is just my own views, so you guys can catch pips with Gator's called !

Good luck !
