Your right! I can't see solid PA on our lower tf's either, but we are at the 38.2% retracement of our fall, so WTF, I can't short it here, Long at 6437, SL at 6400.
I like your style... I tried one as well at 35 at my stop is 7 pips...

Here's my weekly, I'm playing my current long position off the 38.2% retracement price and this trendline I have.

I can see it taking out my newest position, but like I said, I cannot short her at this price. My shorts are doing just fine. I've booked more profit on them here at 6440, rest is setting nice and green.
Most of my shorts closed out at 6616 and the last of them were closed out at 6500... I cannot short her here either... thus my very stingy long... .....took 10 pips as I type...

Your keeping it tight bro! Don't blame you, when the fire is hot, it's best usually to get ready to get out quickly..

Welcome to the party north. I don't think the bulls are going to have the balls to drive her hard for the rest of the US Session though. We'll see!

At least your not breaking the 10 pip rule!

I'd like to see the m15 21 before end of the US Session though.

Please disregard the horizontal S/R lines I have on this chart. They need to be redone still.

My shorts would like to see that price, but I need more soldiers on that position, so my longs would like to see a higher price first so we can reload the troops! I only have 1 in the battle field short and too many in the battlefield long.

It's a great chart bro! I agree with your analysis as well.. I have that area on my weekly chart as well. I see us heading towards the 67xx area but maybe we'll dip lower first...

We've gotta get out of the US Session first! I don't think she's going to do a 180 right now. Too many "trend" traders jumping on her back. I think these are the same traders going long though at 7030 when I was going short.

Agreed bro!... Short term... I see 6550-80 as a potential selling point and long target... maybe asia..
