possible short when she is tired 177a area..
yea will make sense to sell any spike, it seems like the neckline is broken now with a hour closed under 1735 level, not sure if we will bounce to 177x

It did close below 1438. that likely takes away some chance. 1774 is about a coin flip usually. But with a tight stop its a good advantage r/r wise.. With a current uptrend adr has a shot. Pa may be back here later. the close below 1738 did decrease the bounce odds some.

since it did close below 1738. this may be a bear flag on a pole.
1/2 the time it would rise. back to 1774. LC is at 1778x. In this case it closed below 1738.. Closing below may have prevented the bounce. I dont know. Statistically if it was to bounce its made the low. If that be the case it would run back to 1778 in less than 3 hs. 1738 is in the way

At least to 1630 i guess.

1710 1700 may offer another bounce but mayb to 1738 1747 max?

I really dont know. Its got 1 foot on a banana peel. But treasuries can destroy this setup. If nobody wants your bonds. The usd is in trouble. Friday that 3.5% add was nearly a 10% add to the debt. Add in the higher interest rates. Tariffs, health insurance, more inflation and likely stagflation. You could not have built a better model to destroy the u.s. middle class in a Iranian lab. I guess the plague is next.


Those charts I showed eventually lead to a 2700 pip drop. In this case the drop may be stronger. Unless treasuries are lost. Treasuries are the unknown

with tariff announcement going on this pair is a bit hard to trade for now~
2700 pips wow! I can only see potential 1.1 or even 1.0950 if bear is really strong

in 2021 before the sub 1 drop. the higher quarter candle was positive.enough to make the high there. It was followed by that -1.0 drop eventually. The high this quarter is almost as negative as the 2021 one was positive. That to me can make a fall as strong as 2021, or even stronger. Weak bond sales are in the way. Go back and view that graded chart. It has propriety markers since the 2008 drop. Those markers indicate the eu is weak. Its hard for the eu to rise. It mostly takes the path of least resistance.. 5 is a high score. Most dont get to 5. Currently we have on close to 5. Many top/bottoms only make 3.5. That 2021 high had a 5.x score. the current is -4.9x.. That's nearly a 10 difference. That's a wide one. The weak treasury sales have hurt the usd. Most of the world governments holds u.s. treasuries/usd. At some point.. They won't have another option but to return.

waiting to see if it looks weak 1747/48/57 area.. and maybe shoot for 1692 ish.. Sustained above 1757 can be bullish. i have short signal on the smaller times. I ignored them

am thinking something similiar here and if we break below 1682 it may bring 1630.
there should be some tariff announcement today which i don’t know where they will lead us to

Robin hood in reverse will lead to less buying across the board. Consumer spending already dropped. Corporates spending dropped. GDP estimates are 1/2 last years
I may stick to trying for 40 pips at a time.
