{quote} i have some buy limits waiting at 1000 and 980 could be that kind of a day to finish the month {quote} or maybe not lol.
or maybe yes, filled and long now.

seriously a 1.0963 target possible too

always gotta be careful month end


im practicing trading like a whale (cannot long the back end, must fade the front end)
even though liquidity isnt an issue, who do you think is taking the other side of this massive dump?

This bear is crazy! Really crazy! Well, my buy orders triggered at 1.1024, 1.1011, 1.1007 and then I manually bought 1.0994. Holding them till next week.

eu pa is below that channel bottom now. LC day and week LC look to close lower. Eu wise, I sit on my hands and tickle my ass for a thrill. I have pendings on a bounce for shorts only.
pa could relax. london went home. The month remains open. I'm not going to chase my tail. Gu is still giving me fits.. Maybe next week eu can retrace some and allow gu to drop.

buy fear, sell greed
although its actually like sell slight fear, buy slight greed
and fade the absolute extremes

looks like volatility is back, traders coming back

eg 9027 day and week close may turn eg north. That could help my gu short if eu runs back to 1147

1147 is still valid for you hmm?

i agree on the 1.08 definitely

its trading like someone is binging on USD in anticipation of recession

a little norm for 0850 at 1147/50..your 1h is extended. Maybe a lack of usd converting Monday in a light market. I dont know if or why, I just prefer to wait for it.

this eg 9027 support level is being tested now. A drift down in the gu now may show it. more so, if eu drifts up at the same time.

gu atm 2167
eu atm 0991

Yes, I also added at 0985 and 0988. Fear of selling the lows tricked me. Imagine 1.10 giving in as though it's nothing. I believe 0980 is some good support. No N.Y. on Monday and I see London swinging it back up. Maybe I'm just being hopeful.

wanted to see below 0.9 - and the hesitated - 0908 on daily looks terrible
I still think we can see at list 0.9 or some SL taken below
