Here is something to watch for....... Both pairs are now running above yesterdays high which means because of the consolidation it may not go any further than 20 or 25 pips of their highs......

Take profit if it retraces ofter 20 pips......

Hello crew,

Ive missed the buy of the dp, though it was a nice clear buy as 1hr pinbar was formed of it. Price is above dm4 and touched the utl. Lets wait and see if we get a breakout or we are going down again.

SOFIA (Thomson Financial) - Iran's latest missile test shows that the threat posed by the Islamic republic is not "imaginary", U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said here Wednesday.

"It's evidence that the missile threat is not an imaginary one," Rice told journalists at a news conference in the Bulgarian capital when asked about Iran's latest test of its Shahab-3 missile.

The Shahab-3 was among a broadside of nine missiles fired off in the early morning from an undisclosed location in the Iranian desert, state-run Arabic channel Al-Alam and its English counterpart Press-TV reported. "It's time for Iranians to stop violating their Security Council obligations and start fulfilling them," Rice said.

She was in Sofia to receive a medal for her role in obtaining the release a year ago of Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor jailed in Libya.

Dollar Falls Against Euro, Yen After Iran Test-Fires Missile

By Kosuke Goto and Stanley White

July 9 (Bloomberg) -- The dollar declined against the yen and euro after Iran's state television said the nation test- fired a long-range missile capable of reaching Israel.

The yen and the Swiss franc strengthened on speculation the missile test signals that international political tensions will keep escalating, spurring investors to buy assets in nations that are perceived as safer.

"The news of Iran's missile launch is causing the dollar to fall,'' said Masahiro Sato, joint general manager of the treasury division at Mizuho Trust & Banking Co. in Tokyo. "It's also boosting the Swiss franc in a flight to safety. It's difficult to judge Iran's intentions regarding its nuclear capabilities, and that is a significant geopolitical risk.''

The dollar fell to 107.05 yen as of 2:25 p.m. in Tokyo from 107.50 yen late in New York yesterday. It also weakened to $1.5716 versus the euro compared with $1.5670 yesterday.

The dollar may decline to 106.70 yen today, Sato said. Iran test-fired successfully the Shahab 3 missile with a 2,000-kilometer (1,240-mile) range and a one-ton weight at 8 a.m. local time today,'' the Al-Alam television channel said in a report on its Web site.

"In this holiday-thinned market period, geopolitical news like Iran's test firing will see safe-haven currencies like the yen benefit,'' said Robert Rennie, chief currency strategist based in Sydney at Westpac Banking Corp., Australia's fourth- biggest lender.

Japan's currency climbed to 168.24 versus the euro from 168.45 in New York yesterday. The Swiss franc advanced to 1.0282 versus the dollar from 1.0337.

[USD/YEN] getting a lift, and so now almost back up to challenge the top of the recent ranges above 108.00. The buyers, Russian specs or a Swiss private bank, although many suspect an Asian CB is the mainstay of the bids for the headline. Heavy Eur/Yen buying was also seen from the open of EU trade and this pair is now poised just below a key trendline (168.80-85 area), a break of which will flags 172.00 potential. As for Usd/Yen there are better offers again now layered up into 108.00 from commercial names and option accounts. System stops 107.65+ Also still getting a bit of attention is the 200 day m.a at 107.58, the emphasis being on a close above.

After a drop in asia session till the pivot we are now strugle to break up, but @ 107.5 massive selling appears.

On the chart we have a triangle, until this is not break no trades for me.

Yep, I'm going to look at the USD/CAD later today and watch the AUD/USD during the news this evening at 9:30. Maybe catch some pips on the retrace if it moves good.

A whole day has been ranging betwen M3 (107.53) and PP. It`s pushing on the 200 EMA on the 30 min chart right now, possible break to M2 (106.89)?
Other than that, doubt we will se a lot of action today, but hey, we might see some surprises..
