{quote} Wouldnt the move up to 1.1735 make 1.702-1.703 better target symmetry wise
if it closes slightly above support like 1704. it often creates rail tracks. this is the second attempt at 1704. the first when it counts.. at Lclose.

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, bigger one around 1575 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 !
ADR achieved today at 1705.. so just a quick scalp with Gator for 20-30 pips.. since not good place to short at this level till NFP tomorrow...

Yes, 1705 is good price for long scalp there!
but I wait for lower or short scalp around 1735 is not bad either

L close didnt make -1704 (1709.8).. tomorrow week may try for -1734 or even better for bears -1704 again.. if not its likely to bounce some. Lday missed today.. the week is still open.. L day just started again now.. atm low at 1704.7
1709.8 is a lower close this week.. it may be a lower close, above a older close support. not to say i won't break, it hasn't with close atm. if u think it might. u may get a better entry 1745ish

i dont want to say it can't break.. the month did its break. i wouldn't bat an eye to see 1873 and 1964 again..
getting below isn't the thing i worry about. its where it closes and how.. had it went below 1704 and then closed above 1704.. i think its more likely to reject.

perfect example may develop friday. it's been below 1704 for Lday now.. and below 1734 on week. everything looks bearish along with month agreement...... . Lday and Lweek friday above 1734 may be a rejection.. if that happens. bulls have a target of 1850 as long as 1794 isnt reached

Hi Gator,
Yes, your level is good for scalp long, I just worry about today is Thursday, very time when it drops on Thursday always give a big move down for whole day.
I will wait for around 6-7 pm est today or around 2 am est on Friday. I know you know why I choose this periods to look for the bounce if it meets the supports
I could be wrong as always it is just my 2 scents ...

Still looking for short scalp as norm for this drop 1735-1740 for now!

it could drop.. as a rule for me.. its near adr.. its at a support.... it didnt close below 1704.. it completed the 1705 target. it has a valid 1850 target. to me its bearish into support.. i bought a few.. if so, 1745 is a gime

std.. closing longs 1694.5.. targeting 1850,, likely to change target and close whenever. 1745 looks doable if that week close at 1734 allows. 1723 NY close today -+ will influence me.. it too is a close for NY. day. the bears were unable to close L day below 1704.. NY wise above 1723 would be agreement. but tomorrow (L already tomorrow ) is a new day, being week's end with NFP.. the close today at 1709 was a lower close on the week and a lower close than 1759 yest close. so i have 1694 stops to cover my ass.. the bulls have a small 1850 valid set-up.. that dont mean much if NFP farts. the past few weeks closed sept below 1826. so up to now all is bearish. i dont know one way or the other if 1704 day and 1734 week will bounce this. but they are still valid support areas with closes to back them atm. they will fail or hold.
later...

Ny just had its close below 1723, the lowest NY day close since July (bear side). on the NY verse L close.. i have one saying Ny role at 1708, the other at 1710 (different brokers). not that it matters but L close was 1709.8.. i usually give the ny close being above london some extra anticipation of power// that is less relevant since the ny day close was below 1723..

i think it can drop to 1.2650... this part it rare, where it is right now 3096 is a supportive area. its been as low as 3086 (last hour).. watch the closes.. NFP tomorrow. its at a possible major support at 3096...maybe a 3370 bounce.. wait for NFP to see what direction.. this is a raw glimpse.. i dont have closes saved.. shooting from the hip.. if friday closes above 3125.. that probably a bull sign. 3395 R... just depends on NFP reaction.. the chart looks bearish..
