It is not over. Bulls might very well be lurking. Hedging my long-term shorts if returns above 1288, where I am satisfied with the gains, but also where I have a strong return to range long setup. We have seen all too well in the past and recent past how 1270 can be a magnet and a battle! Bears need to cut right through and break 1220 for me to take it seriously, and another position will have reached their SL move at BE point. {quote} Closed here +35 Ata, my
guess: .1170...
new guess, from one end to the other : 1300! If I don't mention SL and/or TP = longer-term setup possibly in the works!

Come on bulls!!! Take this bad boy back to 1.1332!
{quote}...I am long now, but got a new setup also Sell stop 1277 TP 35minimum SL High of the 1H at time of entry. Bulls are back with some fresh volatility, waiting for them to rip the toreador to pieces in the 90s. Who knows !
But in my faulty analysis, it is likely to range still. I would be surprised if it broke and remained more than 1h above 1306.
Perhaps it will hit your 1340s TP before coming back down. Who knows what will happen under these conditions. Wishing at least 1340s for you
!Bloody ranging week

All week, bulls dancing moves were beautiful, elegant, consistent, charming and moving.
A little suspicious, but oh so beautiful.
Bears dancing moves were rocky, pointy, unstable, inconsistent, unreliable, to say the least. A lot of broken feet !
Closed my long here + 18, for a total todays shares of -5 -15 +35 + 18 = 33
Just de-hedged my shorts at 1304, as the bulls arent taking it to the next crucial level fast enough.
Have a merry weekend everyone and good luck with your guess, will check it out tomorrow !

I'm gonna sleep with the bears tonight, keeping my short open because look at the VIX 34!!!!
Why is this important? It hasn't been this high since March 2020 - know what happened then?
...because you never know - until you do!

.I love all the participation !
Thank you very much Ata, that was fun. Jolly surprise just as I am having trouble sleeping... I have to admit I tho ught a bit about this one a second time and 10 min before deadline price went back into my "+-60-70% probable ranging heaven zone", which was 1285-1311 and knew my 1170
guess had no more grounds whatsoever.P.S closing above 1300 is not a good omen for the bears ! But mmm 1310s acted as support repeatedly wednesday + Thursday, then finally broke and is showing some signs of resisting. If it can survive a little longer as resistance, it might make 1300s bears' sorrow go all away
for awhile. But can all this really mean anything under never-ending ranging 
Enough laughing and back to sleep.
I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I am still recuperating from my last weekend
, but keeping my forever smile, no matter the weather...

The big boys never cease to impress me for a variety of reasons. In some cases, like here, I find that they are so much better and faster (than me!) at factoring in the new, so much so that I feel that voodoo feeeeeeling and confusion, even if it does make sense.
For the time being, I am but an ant, and am still confident that price has factored in enough of what a new variant can probably bring to the table, but "probably" leaves out the possibility I cannot ignore and so I remain extremely cautious. Unless fresh momentum + volatility are present (for me still present for 12h-W trades only), I rather simply put my eggs at the edge of the middle of the basket, and get out in the middle or at an egg-length past it, maximum.
Looks like I am already looking forward to Easter !Enough of my Sunday gibberish.
Sending my warmest, sincerest, best holiday energy to all for the beginning of this new week, first of the month.
May we follow our rules, with discipline of steel, the instinct of a survivor, and the passion of a lover.
P.S no matter what happens, we are coming back to earth. Been dancing to this classic for ages! Little Sunday share, let's dance ! Here is a glass of Bourbon to you, or what might your heart desire !
