Which would mean weak dollar.

They almost look like the same chart.

i guess it might be more likely a bearish rather than a doji..
bearish is much better for sure but i just eliminated that option because of dollar weakness

Im thinking down for today.
Sounds good but Im not selling in an uptrend, learned my lesson. I will buy def. when I think that it has reached a bottom.

Todays fig 4.89 pretty close to the last 4 month average. We may have hit the bottom.




Quoting Bones
I heard something recently about news numbers like Non farm that actually makes perfect sense and is now obvious.
Trade desks are not looking at that released number alone. They take say the previous 4 months and and 12 months and average them. Which may answer the question we ask about news releases ,when we don’t see the desired effect on certain numbers.(as well as being priced in etc)
That also got me thinking as to how much do I know about the number on existing home sales today. Well not much apart from the headline predicted number which is 4.86 million sales for the month of April 08.I have no idea how that number relates to the last few years at all.

So I have looked into it so I can have a view of how bad/good that number is

In 2005 the average monthly sales were 7.076 million
In 2006 the average monthly sales were 6.478 million
In 2007 the average monthly sales were 5.652 million
Home Sales are down 2% from Feb to March 08 and 19.3% Vs last year.
Since Dec 07 to march 08 (last 4 months) we have an average number of 4.940 million.
I think this will help us understand the number more as to when it’s released as to how good or bad it is.

not much momentum to continue the uptrend plus we have halifax next week

that could shape the direction of cable

Closed my long position when the US data came out and cable started to fall. When the dust settled, got back in long again. Yes no good to short when the trend is obviously up.

Still need to get above the 5 mil mark I think Salah as that is as low as the lowest reading I can see.

Are there any dollar haters here? I am not one for sure. Most people were calling to short cable when it was going down earlier this month.
