Getting really vague signals

4Hr and 1Hr closes keep happening above the mid of the YTD trading… but the bulk of the trading is happening below it

Risk sure seems better right now playing short, if you choose to use 1.078X as the stop…. Could see a new LOY with less than 50 pips of SL

For me, the 1.0648-1.0629 level is my Maginot line…. Ill take my biggest long position there and reduce the biggest if it is violated.

{quote} im not sure if 1.0741 gives a short opp. if somewhere between 23/27 bounces to 41... i may take it.
this would be it... PA changed.

not shorting, better opps higher up. 46/55

i still dont fancy holding longs if day closes below 1.0699/700... 1.0696/89 may be a place to look for some...

Pulled the zones from some weekly data mining, and it's also a macro fib play, so there is some correlation I like

Also, the fact we got within 20 pips or so and exploded 100pips north validates that there are unfilled orders and institutional interest there...

Now there are no guarantees we get back there... Ever


But for the potential reward(700pips) it's worth the risk

My plan is to reduce my longs if we get there before we go to 1.0648-1.0629 first…

If we drop first and the zone holds, then 1.0820-1.0840 likely is just a speed bump to broad new highs

I had one short setup on the 1h. it said short 0724, s/ 0744. tp 40 pips.. The thing is.. I think it needs to close below 1.0723. By the time it does.. That close candle may be too low for R/R. 1 to 2 R/R.

If the 1h closes 1h below 1.0723. A bounce to it later may be one to pend.

Once again eu bears suck.. The inability to close yesterday below1.07/1.0694. Now the inability to close an h below 1.0723 after 2 attempts. Bears inability to take and hold basic support with closes below.
