Broke EMA 25, Ichimoku was expecting it. It had been channeling all evening. And to top it off it retraced, as expected, to the fib between 8/25/08 12:00, and todays low.

Far from gambling.

Yet another self-proclaimed TA guru. The dollar dropped against just about EVERY currency in the same amount of time. I'm sure you can give me a handful of reasons why that happened too, based on their respective charts. I say someone freaked out and pulled the plug and this move will probably be reversed big time in about 5 hours.

It is easy to call someone else out for not providing specifics when you don't provide any yourself.

I will plainly tell you I don't know why this or that move happen. But I do know which way the trend is going at any particular time and not to trade against it.

And that is about all anyone needs to trade.

I agree. This will retrace, and it's not permanent. No surprises there.

If I had to take a guess at this, it's just some bank unwinding a big short.

00:11 EUR/USD: Moving Higher As Early Asia Selling USD Sydney, August 27: The EUR/USD has moved above hourly resistance at 1.4655 on profit taking flows after a few analysts in Asia warned that there was a Tom DeMark technical signal on the US dollar index suggesting a top was forming. This contention is disputed by other DeMark analysts saying that the signal is incomplete and it is premature to suggest that a sell signal has been triggered.
Key hourly resistance is found at the pullback high at 1.4680 and a break above that level would relieve the downward pressure and target 1.4710/20.

BTW here is the Tom DeMark sell signal the news service was referring to and they are right it is not confirmed yet.

Notice right above the red 13 the cyan colored nbr 1, which leaves the possibility of a new higher setup completing but even if that doesn't happen there needs to be a trigger to initiate entry on sell setup.

Which obviously would mean go long EU.

Hit print screen on your keyboard.
Open up paint.
Save as .gif (much smaller)
You don't need Paint. Just right-click on the chart (if you're using MT4). Click Save as Picture. Click Save Active Chart. Choose 600x400. Save it to your desktop. Then when you post your message, go down to the bottom in FF and click Manage Attachments. Pretty self-explanatory from there.
Up or down, gimme a ticket

A sell trigger can be anything you prefer like a down close, close below yesterday's low etc but to avoid a recycle of a new sell setup happening TD advises a conservative approach is to wait for a "price flip" which would be close below the close of 4 days ago.

Right now that would mean below the close of the big red candle 76.20. But I think better would be to watch tomorrow's (Thursday's) close to see if it is below that of 8/22/08 close big green candle showing 76.81

Otherwise it can continue going higher, but 13 is the setup itself. Nothing but a entry is needed.

Aug. 27 (Bloomberg) -- The dollar fell from a six-month high against the euro on speculation weakening business and consumer spending will discourage the Federal Reserve from raising interest rates.

Ok first I have to say that Tom DeMark techniques, like anything else, is not 100%.

Here is a 4hr US$ chart with another TD Sell Sequential 13 as well as another new 9 bar sell setup trying to complete. The current 4hr bar closes at 12:00 am EST and the way it is looking will be a down close. The text shows the close of 4 bars ago of 77.56. If the current bar continues the way it is it will close below this amount and confirm sell and if it also drops below the red line on swing low it should continue retracing the strong upmove it has been having for the past month.

This in turn will confirm the sell setup on the daily.

Dollar Falls on Speculation Reports to Show Flagging Spending
By Stanley White

Aug. 27 (Bloomberg) -- The dollar fell from a six-month high against the euro on speculation weakening business and consumer spending will discourage the Federal Reserve from raising interest rates.

The greenback retreated from a two-year high against the British pound as economists forecast U.S. data this week will show declines in durable goods orders and consumption. The Australian dollar rebounded from an 11-month low as rising Asian stocks gave investors confidence to buy higher-yielding assets in a nation profiting from commodity exports to China and India.

``The numbers coming up are a reason to push the dollar lower,'' said Toru Tokoyoda, head of foreign exchange sales in Tokyo at Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ``There are doubts about the U.S. economy.''

I hope Toru keeps selling dollars.
