@10:00am est - ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI will come most likely in red, Previous: 55.7, Forecast: 56.8, too optimistic again ... So the upward movement will resume again and again ...

And tomorrow, back to the future 2 - NFP data too optimistic also will come most likely in red, so 1.17569 level will be reached to finish the unfinished job...



On the other hand, weekly ATR (average for the last 55 weeks) = 191.3 pips, but this week only 129.5 pips ...

191.3 - 129.5 = 61.8 pips left ...

1.16588 + 0.00618 = 1.17206 to be reached till week close ...

I found it interesting that you said both bears and bulls would want price at 1.1568 before 1.1686
A snails pace wins the race :-)

I remember you said before that only 2 days are important in FX regarding the option expiration, and Thursday is not one of them ... I am wrong ?

Thursday and Friday are the most important days in my mind... not just for currency.. for other investments too.... other days important if they are the large ones,,close to the price.
