Riding short against retail longs at the moment, capitalizing on intraday imbalances while the dealer makes work of overbought retail volume.
Asia:
Asia:
- Session consolidated within a 22-pip range. Point of control established at @ 1.06683
- It should be noted the dealer accumulated orders inside and just outside yesterday's high. Lots of accumulation in a tight range = more predictable reversal zones.
Asia-Euro:
- Dealer spiked the high in a ~25-pip flash of equity (easier to spot on 30M and smaller timeframes), activating pending breakout longs outside Asia session.
- Dealer immediately pulled price away from buying volume. In a mere half hour, the dealer has escaped the zone, trading below Asia's session by ~30 pips. Any buyers intra-day or end of US session yesterday are holding negative trades, looking left & news to justify the movement. What they don't understand is they are committed at the worst possible time, trading with the trend.
Euro-US:
- Waiting on the changeover but I am looking for some aggressive move to the downside, TP set @ ADR-low, 1.06200. From an intraday perspective, this tells me that the trend has likely terminated. Sometimes they jet further, but I'm happy selling to ADR low or buying to ADR high and walking away for the day.
US:
- Either we'll see consolidation, a reversal against EU session, or a continuation in this newly-developing downtrend. I'm taking profit @ ADR and I (usually) don't double-dip! Greed is for suckers!
Discouragement is the language of the devil. Results over hype.
