{quote} why you have to be right all the time..I could not believe this plays out as you said....+....
nothing to do with me. the numbers were adding, not subtracting. it took out the bias, month close was a higher close. the resistance near and above 1911 was 1939. if today closes above 1939 its not bearish. Above 1939 on Friday close is strong. its unlikely 2017 will close in 2016 wicks. making it not only bullish, but possible moon landing bullish. this candle took a year to make, so the news around is mostly noise. the closes are higher despite the bearish eu news.

{quote} Cool, agreed. Rest is timing etc...
Maybe short 135.3 towards 132.8
Maybe look for squeeze.

135.7x more likely; however, not in hurry to get in short. I'll wait for a larger short squeeze.
For now set a pending at 135.72, I may change it or cancel it depending on PA.
UJ is slow and isn't in a down move/momentum yet, and EU gaining momentum likely to break-out etc etc.
Will be watching closely, thanks for reminding.

{quote} when a candle closes below the previous candles wick. it's often extremely strong sign. if nothing changes, 2017 will have a candle like described. this candle has been headed this way all year. I doubt it will change much directional except shallow dips. i find it hard to believe it wont reach 1.2164 once 1.210x lets. i got a missed norm at the place it dropped in 2014
I know that it's a fact that what's true on one timeframe is true on all TFs. So my question:

  1. Is that true only/mostly on big timeframes: yearly/6months/Quarter/1month candles? or all TFs?
  2. And is there any specific way to validate that statement and the strength of that signal candle?

if eu gets a 1/2 close (00:30) above 1949. that could be bullish

{quote} usd chart does look ugly...it has a lot of to do with thin liquidity these days...it is testing daily demand zone 92.90.,, overlapping with weekly demand zone 92.87-92.50..... which should be tough to break before volume comes back after Jan 2nd...
usd is still testing the overlapping daily and weekly demand zone 92.90-92.50, a strong and critical level, either make or break it...if usd loses this level, next daily demand zone is 92 overlapping with weekly demand zone 91.79-91...

Its a target but also an abcd pattern. on the monthly charts you will see its a price action level.
I am not telling you what to do. just found some confluence. I will have to try a short.

its near year's end. well above 2016 wicks.. nov wick at 1960.. lets see where 2018 rolls in.. the cluster wick at 2091. 1939 type numbers are sometimes hard to close above/below.. the last one was 1706 ish on the drop to 1553 fairly quick. on a smaller tf closing 00:30 + 1949 would be a higher close, that should help the day with 1939. the day could help the week with 1939. probably best to stay away from shorts with 00:30 close 1949+

I am not sure how far this Euro can run for the year end closing before my tomorrow update,

since it will have 88 H1 running hours this time tomorrow, Normally, it would have 85% chance to reverse H1 trend tomorrow...but I am not so confident this time of the year due to the year end flows in illiquid market condition...

H1, Uptrend, Trend stop at H1 close 1884, Running Period: 64 hours
H4, Uptrend, Trend stop at H4 close 1843, Running Period: 59 x H4

fundi wise,, yes we all agree rate raise means stronger dollar. visual wise, it's not adding up on the usd. it could just be a anomaly, where anticipation of the tax cut to u.s. businesses have held back on bringing usd home till tax cut takes effect. while others buy euros as a hedge in their future transactions in anticipation of a rising usd in 2018. Just speculating here. visual wise, the eu is climbing and usd falling. no different than a stock price. it rises and falls on peoples opinion of it or any stocks value. in 2018 if the eu is still rising.. its the stock value.

chart wise on the drop, notice each forward month closes below the previous wick
