They are betting on a good NFP. The price most often pushes up/down opposite the report. Pricing a good one in, near R. If its a bad NFP, retailors will want to long the move. The move that already took place.

yesterday near the low a lot of indicators wanted you to go short. The day before near 0270 a lot of them wanted you to go long. I would imagine those same indicators are near flipping to long soon. if you find this is true. Maybe you should omit those.

If this is a range, maybe consider a reasonable stop. If price test near 0300. Find a larger line in the sand with a reasonable stop loss %.

If that's the case..Best to short at 1.0280 - 1.03 and hope for a slap down after good nfp tom 100 pips back to 1.015

Yep.. That's mostly my plan. Dropping in the 0290/03xx area. If it can make it there b4 NFP. I got many options. It hasn't blown much past 0245x.. I was thinking it would run back to 0203/08. I may be wrong. second choice 0183/86

Unless later it bounces back from 0186/83 area to make a HH. I think it needs to take out 0369 and maybe 0415/17. But that may take a few tries over weeks/months. Get a day close above 0299, then we can talk higher. From 0369 or 0417.. It has a chance to make a new LL. Allow me 0469/80 As a choice 3 slapdown zone.

It seems that top was already done and it got slapped from 1.0253 heavy zone.

It's not willing to bounce and might go back to 1.02

yeah 80/85 ish pips or 1/2 of that.. 0123 + 80/84= 0203/07. Add 42 ish to it or the 80/84 ish pips. 21 42 63 84 105 126 147 and so forth. roughly 21/23 pips in a sequence.

placed a "oh shit short'' below 0318 r. at 0317.8. tight stop.. If it falls and closes below 0283 it may work.. I probably should just wait for the reaction. 0318 is about 110 pips from the mid at 0203 or 0208.

When you see this, do you expect price to avoid the bold to avoid paying out?
I play the trade gamble to feed my Porsche addiction.

this backs up your day.. Making it to 0359 is very unlikely.. Anywhere in that yellow can drop at any moment. 0806 is another one that may not be reached in many years. Any time close expect a fall. At least till its taken.
