1.6277 got taken out for +3 I will look to add once we get past 1.6295 which is 4H resistance

I think once we get past this level longs will be in play for a while
Hi David,

I've got 16295 as s/r too. It's sort of a 1H s/r for me as my Wal-Mart charts (as Pippi calls them) have a 4H view out of synch with most on the thread.

My 4H s/r is at 16265 so I was looking for price to settle above there for long opportunities, first to 16400 and then possibly back to 16600 (at some point - only my view)

My 4H view attached (current candle opened at 4pm BST so is 1h 20 mins old)

I'm back to printing money faster than Bernanke and Geithner put together.

Roddick gave it a good go.

I shorted earlier at 130.20 for 100 pips and long from 129.24 for 100 pips.
Hmmm.... possible smash off the 1H 62 on the mistress?

God with her .... i hope to hear good news ... EO what about your short @ 1.623 where your SL
Thanks bro! She'll be better soon! I didn't have shorts at 6230, I had added shorts at 6256 with my SL on the whole position at 6280 and more longs got added at 6290 to my long position. She broke the 6272 like I had said if she does, she'll get to 633x in a hurry and she did and then more. Shorts from 637x were a good play if anyone got in on them. I've booked some profit on my long position here at 6340, now I'll assess the long position once our daily closes and possibly look for a short.

I took some soldiers off at 6362 on Gu that I had added on off the 21ema. She hit the 50 fib.

I'm not ruling out short from here to the bottom again for tomorrow. This could just be a squeeze out of all the short positions for another fall. Let's watch to see how the upcoming h4 closes. The last h4 didn't close as a dbhlc nor a hanging man, but we can see sellers and their force in this region.

Damn it's quiet today. WTF, did people get their clocks cleaned when she broke 6272? I hope whoever was short had their SL and reverse orders on. You would have been fine if you did. Same like during the London open, the long from 6080 and long from 6090 I pointed out and shorting from the 611x w/ SL at 6118 with reverse order long. Same play again.
