Hey guys whats going on? hope everyone had a good weekend!

EO and Infinity...i played a little short trade earlier worked out decent but having trouble seeing the reason to long at this point like you two are discussing. i see the technical reasons behind it but dont trust it with the markets tumbling(i know this correlation has been of and on lately)...but are you two simply playing the chart and the h4 trendline at this point. i carefully read and watch the trades you two discuss on here and enjoy the thread a great deal. i was curious if you two had any other reasons to long at this point or i should say, if i am missing something missing that you guys are seeing? thanks

No offense, but that might be a slightly different approach than this here.

Good to see you!

For long, we have the h4 tl, h4 rejection candle off the tl (not exactly a hammer...), h1 hammer, h1 price action around 4150.. to name a few...

It could still break down, but the risk reward is better for long at this point based on what I see on the chart..

Did you take the short off the 50ema...? I did not take it because I was already in a long position from lower down...

Did anyone else take it?

I was thinking about short from 4185, but did not take it. Looks like a mistake.
