EURUSD holding up in light of the tankage of equities. Not sure I have the balls to stick this out much longer.

WTF to do...

not sure what to do either. am suspecting a false breakout. its the last hour of the western trade , there is no way, there would be a breakout that fast. it should shoot back up in no time.

I will by reading your posts.
That was the only trade I took today 2.5 hours ago, I missed the buttom earlier.
Why the trade? PA almost hit the 60EMA line, a small divergence seen as well and a bounce back from the 80 level. TP as seen in the pic.
Happy trading

What is going on to start this?

So, by all accounts it will "bounce back", but how does anyone trade in this environment?

I dont trade against trend, there are plenty of shorting possibilities. I guess that Asia session will take this pair down.

Sure. My lowest short is at 1.2455 but i am used to see some swings so i dont close my trades if i am down 100-150 pips when its obvious where this pair is trending.

They don't want to lose?

who?

Japan is likely to offer up some policies to address currency situation if there is not some change in the action. And most EURUSD selling is a result of liquidation of carry trades then being piled into US treasuries, per recent articles posted and general consensus.

Here is an interesting article about euro bank exposure to the emerging markets. This might have a big effect on euro if the risks realize.

Just read the article if you are into fundies, it's a very important part of the puzzle.

this is merely a false breakout...
When you say breakout... are you referring to the drop or waiting for a climb back up?? The drop looked like typical "end of day" action to me, which is why I shorted it from the MA hits on the way down, along with the mom turning down and the 5m QQE crossed down. The Eu trade doesn't have a chart, but i usually mirror my EJ trades on EU, just for less pips, in this case the figure at 1.2500.

The 2 charts below show the entries and TP's. The purple line is the entry just above the 5m MA's. The TP in this case was the 89sma (pink) and 133ema (cyan). Not knowing how much power would be in the drop, I chose those targets vs, the 200sma (black) which would have yielded MANY more pips, but that's a different style for me as I just posted previously, and I'm in scalp mode right now until clearer direction emerges.
