Is anyone looking to fade this M15 35/50 level at 15000?
At open of current 15m candle there was a long entry based upon 35/50MA cross with small wick (reverse when you see that). I can say I am not in a position and don't think I'll trade much today as that "day job" thing seems to be getting in the way today..

See attached chart - long red candle closed through 35/50MA. Looking at the chart there's definitely a short bias here, so *IF* you take one of these trades, you have to be prepared to cover quickly.

here you go ny. The way the 4h closed (same as my 1h) looked a sell as it seemed exhausted and closed underneath yesterday's high

it could be. today is TP day.
i don't think there is a lot of investors let it run its good weekly profits into the weekend. One week ago, even in tuesday we've been talking about the 1.35 again, and suddenly obama talks and then, a big fundamental move in reaction to that been happened...
i think technically we've been move down very soon (imho), because a correction is needed...
2 times try to cross the 1.46, in the second not even reach the 1º high.

I am targeting 4360/4320 area for longs where the 1h 50/62ema and a trendline from 18 March exist

  • Mar 20, 2009 3:57am Mar 20, 2009 3:57am
That 4360/4320 long target also coincides with a retest on my daily of the broken resistance line. Let's see how it plays out.

That would co-incide nicely with Wednesdays high

nice trades ez. I've had a good day too, bit of a headache coming on so will give it a rest now. Good luck to all this afternoon. I still have in mind a target test around 4360/4320 area, could be important to hold above that area for the start of next week for more longs
