The Swamp

first hour of London rolls over last nights close...weak, I suspect a move towards 1.1150 in the works..

got a 1h below 1184 now. A day below 1208. Testing the day trend 1181. Next h is a 12h. Month at 1164..It may be volatile.. with 1164 1177 1181 and 1208 here. Month wise 1208 or 1177 are the bigger numbers. For shorts, its best to have them all with a month close below. Once that happens. Along with Ukraine and the rate raise. Down looks to be the least path of resistance.

Kharkiv has tanks on the outside. Explosions happening now.

W/o these month closes below.. Bounce is more likely. 1369 may still be be in play w/o the closes. Maybe more. I think bears will win eventually. It still may take a Quarter close. 3 days to go in Feb.

Evidently the civilian population is being targeted. I'm seeing apartment complexes bombed. Similar to WW2 London looking.

Snake Island, if its a true story....13 Ukrainian soldiers perished...RIP...

welcome back PTL, I was wondering about you before, nice to see you back

Thank you. Good to see your still at it. Hope you are doing well.

Seeing pictures of thousands of people, mostly women and children, trying to cross the border into Poland and Romania. Upsetting. I'm a father now, and older. Guess I'm more sensitive now. Anyway you slice this deal, your normal everyday families, just trying to survive, paying the price. Just fucking wrong.

Can it reach 1.1088 next? Possible support there next.

War is hell. Make no mistake about it.

Blame it on the richest guy in the world. With a Napoleon complex.

Air raid sirens in LVIV atm. Women are running frantic with their children. Yesterday anti war protest in Russia. This may not end well for Putin hopefully. Bombing a peaceful civilization population. Wont look well with everyone being able to get the videos out. I hope the torches come out.

Maybe the figures are not all correct, or out of date, but many are easily researchable. But you get the idea.

Don't forget about the climate, sea ports and industrials.

Putin didnt like his money exposed in "The Panama Papers". Now he will get more attention focused on other assets. The world wide money search is on.

Pray for peace..
