I see a bear-flag forming on the 4H...should drop anytime now. Target 90.38 or so, (Fib level). Anyone else see this?
i agree and i think if today US economic news is reporting a bad number, than that should be the triger, if not then it just about the time, let just wait.

I still believe in the 4H bear-flag...set my pending short at 91.22. Tiny lot to start, then I'll scale in when it breaks below 91.00 all the way to at least 90.40.

I actually prematurely opened a short position last night from 91.03...then prematuely closed it around 91.45 for a disappointing loss, which cut into my otherwise profitable run on the EUR/USD. Should have stayed in and dollar-costed...oh well. I love that there's always another day and another opportunity!

I think that 90.92 has been the support and once the price is over 91.50, it should probably be the end of downtrend, I will be looking for a buy after it sustains over 91.50 for a target 91.85

I made that disappointing loss too yesterday, sell from 91.09 and closed it at 91.43. Oh well, this is the market, if everything was certain there would be no market. This usually happens after a trend, where they capture sellers to make liquidity for buyers and vice versa

Well I guess it's not a bear-flag anymore...

It broke the flagpole's 50% retracement it'd been struggling with all day, and as I'm typing this has now retraced more than 61%. Highly unlikely that it'll come back down. Time to start thinking longs...

Looks very probable of going over 92.00, All is well till the US session , it would be wise to get out before the US unemployment news.

I saw we make a 2nd leg down before heading higher. I'll take short near 91.50. we could probably test as low as 90.00.

Short from 92.00 to 91.40, SL 92.20. Fibonacci levels.

EDIT: Moved SL to 92.00. After 2.45h will be EUR Minimum Bid Rate, so that can change my plans. =)

Actually, I have missed this drop yet fortunately, I have scalped 5 mins later in upward trend and gained 10 pips in 1 mins. Nice. Btw, could you show me your bear flag of last night?
Thanks

One of the pairs that showed some sort of conviction post retail sales.

I can't believe it...I gave up on the bear-flag and removed my pending short, and what happens? Aargh! Well I'm in now, short from 91.10, hope it goes well! Next major support level I believe will be 90.74ish.

Can someone teach me how to spot this bear flag next time. I really dont understand from the pic above, other than seeing those last 2 bear candles.
Thanks in advance!
