Ya, I think so. But after sometime fibo will form there.
Since this is a big down from 2.000 zone from last year, its correcting I think.

Only time can tell...

my charts - d, 4h, 1h, 15m
i really focus on my 1h/15m.

supply/demand zones, s/r, emas: 5,13,50,200 , trendlines, rsi.

thats pretty much it..ill use other tools once in a while (e.g. fibs).

^ is that what you meant by share?

Bullish engulfings are only valid patterns and reliable at the bottom of the chart after a massive selloff.

I agree. I also noticed that price broke above the 25 EMA on the weekly which is a very good sign.

Although look at the weekly again closely, we are at a very important area and this is indeed a resistence point although it doesn't show it being strong. If it breaks and holds I agree it is on a decent journey up. Stochastics are showing overbought but that doesn't mean much.

I wonder how strong of a psychological point is 1.6000? I would think the 1.5000 mark is much stronger and we broke that.

See the attached monthly chart, down from 2.1100 zone, now sitting in the middle of 23.6 and 38.2 fibo, stoch point to upwards and on oversold zone, macd also forming a uptrend.

I've studied the Nisson stuff quite heavily and I don't recall him every saying it had to be a massive selloff, although I may have to restudy his stuff. I looked and they were all selloffs but I wouldn't consider them massive. There was a tug of war with the 25 EMA on the 15 so there was a little bouncing but once it broke it was tested once which is very typical but it was rejected again and went up to the 1.6000 area.

If you combine this with a look at EURGBP:

If EURGBP breaks the .8650 line then we will really be running

I agree for the short term. Price just broke the 25 EMA on the 5 minute and is shooting past the 15 minute although it is a new candle.

At around the 1.5940ish area is the 50 EMA for the half hour and this is a big one. If it truly breaks past that then there is a resistence area that looks decent at 1.5920. Could still break past that but we will see.

Since last Thursday, 1.5930 provided GOOD resistence but now is providing Support. Would need to break this and also 1.5900 to drop any further and I don't think 1.6000 is finished with yet.

We have BBA Mortgage Approvals in 10 min. Can send it either way.

Very good point. The BBA mortgage can possibly move things. It is graded as a medium report but with the housing mess such a big deal it could act as a high grade report.

Very interesting. I am very interested in studying Elliot Wave but am fine tuning a couple of other things right now.

I've studied the Nisson stuff quite heavily and
There're some key points that need to be differentiated in this debate:

- Steve Nison's coverage of Bu.En. is mainly a rough model on daily charts
- Bullish Engulfing is a bottom reversal pattern and not a continuation
pattern
- Thorough historical intraday backtest results indicate a statistical edge
only at the bottom (preferrably w/ a subsequent double bottom setup)
not at the top, in fact such a pattern occuring at the top might signal a
stalling in PA but definitely very hazardous indeed to be taken as a
continuation pattern.

Always enjoy a spirited and intelligent exchange of viewpoints.
