Support at 1.9980?

Anyone knows where are the actual Support and Resistances are? ie, the Stops?

Interesting Inputs from TTN:
I'm running fib retracement 9889 - 0072 for guidelines... 9981 is 50% fib. Next 9959

9972 pivot.

Interesting how your use of FIB lines are very accurate.

You must start a thread teaching how to use FIB correctly!

How low will cable go???? I am short from 2.0060. Should I close my position or wait for another 50 more pips?

I like larger terms better, but since those last days moves are so exagerated, I use them, too...

Better keep them inline with the trend, so remarkable low-high is likely to be traded, like yesterday's bounce off 9889 (low) that initiated a run today's high 0072...

However, it's tentative Burger... Market tells you which is being traded at the stalls... You just have to figure it out

I agree. I went long one lot at 1.9995. If it goes lower I will add lots.

And bring SL to break even. I would set TP to 1.9975 or use a trailing stop and move it lower. But keep TS tight. Last 1.9995. More elsewhere. Nice trade. Similar to mine which hit TP at 1.9994.
Do not focus on making money; focus on protecting what you have.

I went at 2.0004, Jacko's strategy. 50 pips trailing stop... let's see where it will take me.

OK. I think you are probably on the money. Let's hope so.

i'm out of the market at the moment

awaiting break of 9980 or 0015 to decide direction or for range to set up thru overnight trading. i do think 9950 support would hold and cap at 0040 till major news for a breakout.

Ive had a bit of a beating this morning shorting, however in the afternoon shorting from 2.0060 and 1.3665 in Euro has worked nice. If I had bigger stop losses (10 pips I would have lost nothing, oh well!)

Cable I have shorted has initial target at 1.9950 then may go down to 1.9920 before rebounding up (4 hour chart trendline channel started 5th March) This will also be the 3rd test of that important bull trend line and will be interesting if it gets through. Bit to go yet though!

Although I don't look for them, todays daily bar is a Pin Bar. Downtrend to continue lower perhaps?

Given we have had no 60min or 15 min closes above the .236 ret level of today's high and low, it seems another push lower is very possible.

My first price proj would be 9950 and then 9920.

cable is looking heavy, downwards before upwards? im thinking we'll test that 9950, whether that holds or not we'll see.

i'm getting the feeling we're going to see some funny carry trade action tonight, yen seems to really want to test 120 and with swiss action, i think the euro may also take a dip tonight.
