Me too... 3085

Though I should add... I'm not expecting to hold this very long. I'll soon be back on the sidelines and waiting for a better entry point, looking longer-term.
are you still holding your long?

Wow... price couldnt even make it to 13130/40 lvl and head south again... if 13010 lvl is taken out then it will get real exciting.

The usual posturing when PA approaching key price zones...

Sorry, I don't always update my posts to correspond w/ my trades....

Current position is long from 3064. I'm not married to it though... better entries below starting at about -100 pips from here.

Yup..had a sell stop at 1.3130 but dont think it will be hit
I think a short at any level now against a SL at around 1.3150 will yield good pips..below 1.3080 opened the pip gates

thanks, this was the chart to explain (not predict) the previous Apr.9 USD/CHF touch of 1.16 after 1.15 was not a break-out.

from USD_index it was still a double-top instead of breakout.
I just plot it again.... it's under the d-t still... it's not yet a break-out.

just login..guys who know these 2:
dow rise like mad last night from 7950 to 8160?? why? I almosted shorted it when wake up 1hr before dow close.... but for fear of a truth break out... exit the short.
i was watching the dow run up in the last 2 hours..it was hilarious. No volume no momentum just kind of floated higher. At the same time...eur/usd was close to making a new low but retreated off the 1.3130 level before doing so (not too much).

The answer is simple for the dow. Options expirations day starting in roughly 5 hours and a half. Market makers (hedge funds and so on) have been pushing the dow up for almost 2 months...the trend has been nothing but up. Expirations days are all about profit taking. What this means is positions are closed. Now for every buyer there is a seller. Mass long positions being closed brings in a bear run by definition (all the bulls will want to get out therefore leaving only bears). That run we saw in the dow...it was just the last minute market maker push up before the profit taking that will come during the US session.

IF citibank by some miracle was profitable it may continue up but i highly doubt it....

oh, I read the china statistical beauru speaker answering reporter questions yesterday.question was with all calc of in- capital flow and trade balance surplus. how come the foreign reserve in dollar value increased only a little from 2008Q4 to 2009Q1.
his answer was china holds a significant portion of foreign reserve in euro and euro droped Q4 to Q1... causing the remaining holding worth less in terms of dollar value.
I'm not sure but if treasury hear this I guess he would like to push dollar for high /euro to low, to lure more bonds buying... (then he can show a chart to convince that euro is not worth buying)

I'm not talking about on day chart or weeks chart what change may happen immediately, I'm just talking some trader in the market may hold a bias with regard to pairs and their interest is not to profit, ... and with regard to news. and if that is a big guy, it makes a difference.

Perception is reality. Buying dollars since 10 hours small lots E/U, G/U, U/Ch.

Cross-needles response to slightly improved Euro trade balance.

I'm thinking happy USD rest of this week anyway.

My yesterday's target 1.3080 was reached on Asian session. I think the price will not go lower anymore, because I see strong support at 1.3055 - 1.3075 area. There are trendline, 38.2 fibo and 89sma on daily chart. Price should now range between 1.3055 and 1.3100.
But its friday and anything unexpected can happen so I keep my eyes on charts.
