Just got this as part of an email from e forex:

The Euro has failed to breach the resistance at 1.2900 on yesterday and collapsed, filling the weekend's gap and also testing support at 1.2675. Since support at 1.2675 is intact, the daily momentum is still bullish but losing strength. Below the said support should resume downtrend and aim towards 1.2525. On the upside, resistance is seen at 1.2790 followed by 1.2900 and 1.3050. On a near term basis, the consolidation is likely to continue but a break out of the triangle formation (daily charts) is expected within the next few trading sessions. None of the triangle sides are being favored therefore we maintain the "wait and see" attitude. Current quote is 1.2730 @07:45 GMT

Support levels: 1.2675, 1.2525 and 1.2335.
Resistance levels: 1.2790, 1.2900, 1.3050 and 1.3260.
Market sentiment: long-term : bearish, mid-term : bearish, short-term : slightly bullish

seems to sum it up about right.

Also looks like the oil price will start a bearish trend and dive further..... (broker email)

Might sit it out today.......

Sounds like swing trader advice. While they wait and see for the next few days, I'm for makin pips. That's the only reason to sit in front of these screens. And makin pips i am on the the short bus.

I think all signs of hidden big movements today , just sitting before the computer with some random shorts though.

Perhaps market is waiting for some news to initiate the momentum, may be next few gbp & eur news .

Knockin off here for the nite. Don't forget tomorrow is banking holiday for Cad and US... veterans day. That will thin the liquidity some. When the power starts leaving the markets, it's easy to get stuck in a trade going nowhere fast, and invariably you'll find your self on the wrong side of it for the duration. I always do anyway every time I violate my low or no momentum trading rules. Serves me right...

I'm also expecting things to taper off some over the next few days in advance of the G20 summit this weekend. That said, even if it tapers off, there could be some sudden moves of significance as institutions position theirselves for whatever comes out of those meetings.

That could generate a lot of false b/o signals as things scrunch down into those compression zones across the pairs.

And again, Hedge Fund D-day is the 15th. Be some cash raising going on I expect as some of the funds are apparently realizing they underestimated the redemption volume. Screwy markets in all likelihood for a few days.

Yes , your diagnosis may be correct & in this case then again make another complex within the triangle & even may try break at the top ? not impossible ? next come to the line next time after many stop outs perhaps .

It's a banking holiday. Markets will be open as they are not banks. Liquidity will be thinner becuz the banks are closed, as are any firms that are governed by the banking laws.

Thin liquidity makes it easier for a modest transaction to have an effect that is out of proportion to the size of the transaction, making it easier to move the markets in a particular direction for whatever reason. I've already posted some good reasons to be very careful this week.

Asking if there will be a big move on a holiday is a non question, as there are no rules that govern when big moves happen, only historical tradition. I certainly won't be trading much beyond holding currently open positions. This could easily be a good week to do something else besides sit in front of a screen and donate all your profits back to the borkers.

Thanks AK. Makes sense. Now go to bed!

Hope you've been doing well. Judging from your posts, the answer would be YES AS ALWAYS. Good to see.

I also dumped my CHF/USD trade at -30 pips. Not a pair I usually trade and something just didn't feel right.

Pure guess as I have nothing to base it on....
