Ok I gotta ask...

Is anyone else looking at the markets thinking "what the heck is going on?"

I mean it seems as if almost all pairs are ranging as if they are waiting for something to happen. Most decent setups that I have seen based on S/R fib points and other confluence seem to fail lately.

I can't be the only one seeing this so I would like to hear others views about current market conditions as well. Or then again yes it could just be me... but I am really hoping it isn't ...LOL

I think this is just summer trading conditions. No one taking big directional positions. The only exception is probably forced liquidation of positions from hedge funds in trouble. Light volumes in between bouts of action mean that prices can be pushed around in ranges, just far enough to trigger stops.

All aboard the CADJPY express?

If this is indeed the highest we retrace it will be textbook. Stacking blocks.

Also would line up nicely with USDCAD surging higher after the monthl PB + weekly BUOB.

CAD, extra cheap, extra cheap, selling them CADs....no?

Any takers, Mr. Market?

We'll see today thanks to red news.

And finally weekly. I hope it's becoming apparent what I mean by "stacking blocks" for retracement levels. It's the old s/r flip story on a bar by bar basis.

If these start behaving again that'd be really nice. They've been barely functional lately, exceeding the highs/lows by too much, making pins but then failing, dropping too low but then still rallying etc etc..mischievous beasts!

Weekly and Monthly look almost like USDCAD on this one(weekly BUOB as well). Very odd.

Stalling on daily at TL underside of prior lows.

going up eh ?



though i do not trade this pair, TL, fibs, and james allpoint to going up IF it trades above the TL.

Am I correct. According to james, this is a nose and eye forming...right ?

Which timeframe are you refering to?

What I see on my chart is: a Buy Pin on the monthly (2 actually but neither have triggered), a BUOB last week for the weekly chart that broke to the upside but has dropped since then, and a neutral bar on the daily.
Personally, I don't see any clear signals that this is going up. Nothing at least that would make me open a trade just yet. (personal opinion of course )

The nose is the long lower part of the already closed monthly bar. Pin Bar => Pinocchio Bar => long "nose".
That's already closed, so it can't be forming still

The eye bar on the right side is already starting to break the PB so it should also be done forming the eye. If it does fall below 1.5900 again I would be extremely cautious maintaining a bullish bias.
There is currently a fight at 1.5900 vs 1.6160 which will most likely be thrashy. Blessed art thou who tradeth the weekly or monthly.

On weekly it looks like the BUOB is breaking upwards and starting to sniff the air above the TL. Perfect spot for a suprise sell slaughter
1.6200 is most likely THE hotspot for that.

Here's a secret: big boys love the round numbers. They probably find anything else too complicated. There's a lot to be said for simplicity.

I wouldn't touch this pair in this current mess, I don't have enough historic data, either. Might be an oscillating pair and simply moving back up from the lower bounds back to the higher ones. Bit like EURGBP.

I personally prefer sticking to EURUSD and AUDUSD themselves and using stuff like this to get a heads up for which one will prolly be "stronger" or "weaker" on it's own.

I just don't "know" this pair enough or it's levels etc. These oddball crosses can be extremely icky for me and just feel foreign.

So basically I just wrote a lot of words for saying "Sorry, really no idea" ;p

So many million times nicer and technically cleaner than the evil DJI twin brother.

Wish I could trade this one, too. Oh well, always have the xxxJPY and xxxCHF proxies

Loss of 2.02 triggers weekly IB, perhaps leading below prior BEOB and making a DBHLC on weekly?

Aiming at 2.0 initially + TL + FE 100 + all of that stuff ya know ;p

It is HOT here and I am BORED by the DJI not crashing 500 points a second ;p

Where's the fun!

Descent started with a 2x 1h / 4h PB here on my chart at a descending TL capping off the tops on 1h..didn't quite get to .618 of the downswing sadly :/

///////

The longer we hesitate at 2.0300 the more worried I am getting. Need descent, now!
Someone call someone!

Hi

This indicator shows price actions patterns, at least the ones I've plotted after go through hundreds of pages in this much more than excellent thread.

Just put the indicator in a chart and the stars will appear.

How to trade with the stars? That's a question to our guru...
