if oil was a currency, I would have it in a downtrend the last 2 weeks.

oil has a heartbeat. Slight, but it likely the driver of the weak usd. If the usd crosses those lines if may be strengthening.

All prices on whatever vehicle you are trading could be a resistance or a support in the future. On most or all usd crosses in forex, oil gold, silver or whatever. Monitor last hours close. I'm not saying its rigid yet. But it may be when a direction is chosen. The USD at face value is weak. Monitor at this point (last hour) if the weakness continues or turns around to strength. Every vehicle has its own timing to change or continue. It may not all happen in the same moment. Minutes, days, weeks maybe a week can be the timing. The market can stall...
these lines on anything touching the usd

I haven't checked all pairs. The chf eu gbp and nzd gave the usd a heartbeat. The aud didn't, the yen barley missed. The usd has a little life showing. Oil may be why.
All the usa equities are still on the bull side, so is Bitcoin.

{quote} This is eurusd. Because of change of character trend is down. 1825 could be swept, i don't know. {image}
Just woke up. i put my entry a pip below but didn't get filled.
I think it may not be over though.
edit: if we close below 1772 we still may get 1811. If not 1825+.

Anyone out there have any confirmation? It could be bullshit.. Its starting to get active on social

For the past few weeks there was an anomaly in the price of oil. Brent is rarely cheaper than wti. It is now back to more normal. In that abnormal time I couldn't figure out why the usd was flat, and weak. They crossed back about 102$ 3 days ago. Now the spread is about 3.50$.

The aud has been bullish verses the usd. Its at support as described above. But that changes below that magenta line. The cad still looks strong verses the usd. Its likely the strongest major because oil is rising.
1.3746 u-cad may have some resistance. these 2 are fighting for big doq if the aud losses its footing.

AUD at resistance w1, could see a correction soon maybe a full risk off drive, there is a weak D1 pin forming now in AUD and Double top but the DT is blown out somewhat on 4h so not so convincing and it actually looks like it may close bullish - more important for me is the USD may turn on this support, everytime its been around here, there has been big war talk, maybe itll be big peace talk this time, its also sitting around a TL thats been supportive since the time around the arab spring - im debating whats actually being defended in the USD, Trump is advocating peace and it looks" to be going well - if peace is going to drive USD down then whos been supporting USD dominance, it looks to be at a high pressure point, maybe im viewing this at the wrong angle - either way its at a strong volatility zone weekly tf

this is 4h chart.
According to SMC, bears are in control until price closes above the top of the range.
If it closes above i think maybe 8755. its not where we are now.
i like it its simple.

I got that upper level on the chart provided as a b/o R. but it don't need to get there if bearish. .6712 is a lighter R than .873x. above 873xx can be a breakout. There should be some volume there, break out or rejection. see level on the chart. .8693 is a likely support bears need to break, and hold below to drop. Between them is maybe a range and chop. .8693/873x. The blue line and yellow is larger than the magenta line. But it may be a sweep below them. At face value pa should drop below the blue. Because its large. But there is often sweeps opposite.

The audusd is the second ranking. its testing it magenta support also.

I'm sure some here wanted the orange stain. Before it was lowered. We used to draft 45 year old's. The last time Ford and GM built war equipment. Old men send young men to die.
