I think this might be tops for now, I just closed out the other half at 1.9740.

Not ready to short yet.

Folks I went long a few hrs ago at 1.9681 with a 100 pip SL. Perhaps I shouldn't have entered then with all the news but I did have plenty of underlying buy signals and the wave back up seemed almost as natural as the turning tide.

Part of the picture I see is below and the rest is on 30 min, 1hr and 3 hr charts.

I had a siesta, got up 2 hrs later and see that price has finally taken off after meandering up and down like a drunk Brit on a stag-night in Prague. It has just broken through the 60ema on the 30 min chart which is more reassurance that this could be a good move.

Of course any unexpected Fed news is less than 5 hrs from now and can impact the market either way, but momentum has kicked in, the plane has taken off and we're finally heading north. It's been like taking a flight from Terminal 5 at Heathrow!

The flight might go all the way and it might crash and burn. I shall scale out sooner than usual and manage with caution.

Safe trading ...particularly with potential big news ahead and on the day which defines the look and feel of the April monthly candle.

Ouch...Wait till it reaches 1.9750 and see wat happens the near that area...
it will head toward weekly pivot and there may bounce
1.9757...62 ema is there..if it passes this then weekly pivot should be the target..i think

Hey Baz,
I thought you were taking the day off. Nice day off for you ... +90! Excellent!

The cookies looked too good didn't they!

I will take 50% off at +100 which is 9 pips away, lock in "something" on the remaining 50% and let it go head to head for a round with the Fed.
