EO if we get a close above the 1hr 62 then it looks clear all the way to 1.6620 to me, am I seeing this correctly?
As I look at the 4hr though it looks like 1.6560 may be resistance as well.

Just took short at 65582... 10 pip covered to BE
Nice! I'm in a holding pattern on closing my long position just yet. I've booked more profit here at 6550.

I was late on the long train at 6460.
u were late and still got me by a few on that long entry ......at least she never went against us so i think the timing was perfect! Risk free trade/

closed for 20 and 50 and 74 and ready to reverse.

That's a target I'm looking at, but this h4 has some heavy sellers here in the 655x area as we're now experiencing. If your already long, keep your SL under the m15 21 and work it all the way, if your looking to short, we want to see a top form here. The close of the h4 will also provide us further direction. The 6525 close above is a key to me. Personally, I don't see it happening, but anything is possible. Don't forget, we have FED BS this afternoon.

Good job! I'm watching it closely for a possible entry short myself. We're working on a dbhlc on the m15 which supports the shortness.

For those wanting to short now a 655x w/ SL on the other side of 6565 offers good R:R.

My SL on my long position ist at 6520. It's teasing me to take the short myself.

If you don't get stopped out, please don't take your whole position off at 6515. Wait for our h4 to get closed in 1h 6m to see if we close under the 6525 and then target 635x if we do.

I have a short PO at 6559 with SL at 6574. This moving is killing me as I only see the screen every once and a while.

Can't believe I don't still have this mornings long at 6405. Took a whole 20 pips on that.....lol

EDIT: Whoops, I meant 6405 ...LOL

How do you feel about the need for our h4 to close under 6525 to continue the move back south?

BTW, She's freakin teasing us bro!

Yeah, I still haven't the confidence to walk away from a trade until I'm locked well in profit. Took the 20 thinking I did good...LOL

Not that there's anything wrong with 20 but........LOL

Looks like that PO was a bit late as well.

Now moving SL into profit.
