Good call, I seen Psiholog saying that for a while now... I was short however way before the news release

I dont know what to expect next from this pair, I think asking it to go back down to the 1.372 is a little much, but with more very bad news coming out could mean a strong push for that mark regardless of what the news is good or bad (more than likley bad) but none the less...

This is my long term opinion (3 days lol) but I think we're headed for the 1.33 range, possibly by monday or tuesday.

sp much for that, its getting there just as I was writing this... :/
nice man, congratulation more pips than I have lol Im still blind as for the direction, but I would be happy with 37, dunno about 33, Im still long bias until the vote.. btw already closed NFP short, Im looking to readd, GL for your trade pal
Money often costs too much...

Thanks!

There's nothing to understand here I believe, it's all a big retrace/bear trap/market setup as I see it. Longer term we're more likely to reach 1.8+ than parity I believe.
bear trap hmmmm?? http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon8.gif. who are you working for man?

Sorry man I didn't mean brave in a negative way. But yeah that's an interesting thought you have and it's given you great success. I say it's great

Rumours over the stability of DWS, a German investment/pension fund, are aiding the move lower in EUR/USD. 1.3706 marks the latest lows, with the support into the figure under pressure as the extends its gains.

This things just acting crazy, I dont know when to expect a bounce and to where... anyone have any ideas?

I don't see any logic last days on EUR/USD. Big bad change on Non-farm and move in wrong direction as effect?
Hint: Central banks

I seriously think they are intervening every time major economic bad number hits the screen (not normally but recently). It's the perfect time to stop a rally for weaker dollar.

They do not work in volatile news times as the big boys will take you out on either ends like a tug of war to gaurantee themselves a good price to enter the market in a direction they desire.

That is why you sit on yor hands during news times of importance. you can find these at the forex factory under calendar and filter it by what you would like to see.

After about 15-30 minutes the market will more than likmely be right near where it was and proceed as usual.

Again, trading at news times are for those of you who want to gamble, or those of you who have enough margin to protect a 100-200 pip move against you. As stated above, the big boys are positioning their trade entries, and your BROKER will get in the action by having spreads of up to 20-50 pips. If you have pending orders to be executed, the broker will fill them at the next available price, not necessarily at your specified price, and your stops and take profits are treated the same.

IMHO, stay out of big news releases and if in have a very wide stop.
If you want to gamble, great...go to Vegas or Atlantic city, or play on a demo account to get your thrills, but leave your money in YOUR pocket!

I hope all faired well through the news and the news to follow! May the Bird of paradise poop many pips in your lap today. Peace!
Only other factors would be central banks. Who knows what Bernutty and his Eurohorse Trigger have in the works with all the worldwide bailouts!

above resistance usually just above it. on the trade that got closed i shorted at 3834 and set stop at 3895. the reversal hit 3895 and then went back down. and its happened twice already so im just REALLY annoyed.

Weak US employment data tonight will send EU to the sky...

If Congress passes the bailout plan, EU will turn south again, otherwise it will continue up north...
Weak data to be sure... the sky thing ain't panning out at the moment.

How about the floor?
