Happy trading day everyone,

The run up on the euro left these levels untested, imho, euro bulls will mount an attempt from these areas, if they fail to make new high, watch out.

Like wize Pete, when the euro broke north out of your flag, the following south failed to make new low, that should scream danger when attempting short off the broken resistance line. actually the play would have been to long the broken flag north on the retrace.

fwiw,
That's how I saw it. Similar situation on the $/CAD going south. The market is currently squaring those moves so sorry to say I missed the retrace profits. Oh well, mustn't be greedy.

The pound felt quite bearish to me in the morning, good thing I managed to get out with minimum damage.

I will need some fresh air after the battle today. Or maybe not - there's a real storm going on outside - when did that happen ?!

Anyone know why the USD is so volatile at the moment? There doesn't seem to be any important news scheduled.

89.50 is the new slap down number? US Senate is about to vote on health care bill, perhaps..... some key Rep. Senators are seen as moving in favor, health care sector is sinking the Dow today

Hi Friends,

just for Info:

USDJPY: US IB Buyer of Bucket Full of USD

New York, October 13. US IB buying a truckload of USD/JPY at 2PM running stops. Sloppy price action suggests it may be corporate related. [i][email protected][/i]

Market Makers swept before placing the order. Sure was big....I wouldn't expect the CB to be so obvious.

I was ready to push the buy button at 49 but hesitated. Lets see if the water finds its level.

Unfortunately I was hesitating too.
Could have been so very easy pips.
But let's be happy, that we haven't been short at that time ....

There are still waiting thousands of pips ahead ....

Yes, many pips awaiting collection.
I'm only thinking about buying USD/JPY at this point in time. Nothing has really happened to change my mind.

I'm not sure about middle and long term development.
I still prefer very short term dances.
But from my gut I would say keep patient, there will be some better entries again.
Or scale into your position in "dealer style" ....
How ever, I wish you good success

My USDJPY 5 sec chart shows me, that there is a strong battle around this 8970 level. Not sure, if it will go much deeper ...

By the way: Tomorrow in the early Wall Street morning the JPMorgan earnings will be published. This could be a very stock market moving event end of course for the currencies too.
