sustained above 1759 is probably good for the long. But it may retest 1732/33. The earlier indications are today will continue a "up day".
There is that 70% chance near the highs or a new high will come. Usually a fade higher like yesterday and the day before etc. If Lc closes in the 1759 area, It may reach 1.1800 area..
From here adr is about 1810. Adr has missed the lost few days. We are do for one to balance it.. Since the last few missed. One larger onger one is due. It can go higher just by averages missed

I took the trade because of the structure. I didnt get a long signal until it was at 1745. That dont happen all the time. But in this case it did. The structure favored a up day. The things that looked bearish Friday turned bullish on the day. So i had to go with the structure. I did not get the size I wanted..A trigger would of allowed a larger trade.

Yeah, he wants to take the news off his trips to Fantasy Island. Target wise I could of tp at 40 pips (that was already met).. But 1810 looks open.. I'm holding still.

If a buy signal comes.. this may be a decent place
175x./176x
That candle looks toppish.. closes 1766+ puts pressure to rise
Below is bulls slipping.. Closes, not just wicks

bear will need a strong red candle under 175x to be back otherwise it is too easy for bull just to take back control

It did give me 40 pips and make a HH..So its already met my normal day expectations. It should continue based on the info I have..1810 + is not out of line. 1810 is just normal adr.
I usually just look for 40 pips
But this has room to double that

i am still not so convinced with the up yet. I know is a bull trend but checking movements from other major pairs makes me wonder.

Higher chances that i m just damn wrong that didnt long @ 1733 and later 175x while i have both on my chart.

last two days i have missed buy opportunities as well.

i m out… will check in the morning to see where we land

Above 1766 is the path bulls need. If its closing below 1757. It may be turning less bullish.. it can turn bearish.. watch the candle closes.. It can trade sideways.. The day structure i have is, its bullish. Sometimes things change. if things change those levels will indicate it
