Hi all.
Ditto here. Short U/C from 1.06 and long ozzie from 89.50.
Any thoughts on U/J? PA around confluence of support (upward daily TL) , 50% fibo and round no. 90.0? My only concern is main trend is down so a long trade would be counter trend and still not clear which way market wants to take this sucker.
cheers

Which daily TL? I don't see up TL on D1. Be careful, i think the daily trend and h4 trend is down and there is 50%Fibo @90.5 possible for a move down.

Hi Mitch,

I can see where you have your 50% level but as far as I can see the trend is down. My preference is a short... my chart is showing a H4 pin bar (bearish pin) forming... so I may be in it in the next 30 mins or so!

Regards,

Dan

PS... If you have a chart please post it as it may help to clarify your position.

Sorry guys....still haven't figured how to upload chats (techno challenged).
Yes, my pref is also short hence my comment re any long trade being risky countertrend. Sorry for the confusion re my TL ref...I was actually referring to a support line drawn from low (Nov 26) up to recent congestion and horizontal support level of 89.8 ish (I hope this makes sense..). So Dan, I agree PA on H4 may provide the final piece to this puzzle. ...time will tell.
Your view on swissy? recently spiked thru daily TL and horizontal SR at around 1.05? Poss short candidate...what do you think?

My main concern with swissy is that she has recently made a higher low and broken the primary daily trendline I have been watching - both signs of a reversal. However, price is currently at an interesting level... if we get some kind of bearish price action (pin bar, engulfing bar etc) I may try a short. If we break upwards though I will be considering a long position.

I have already taken a buy usd/chf at 1.0450 at break even i thought the break of the daily trend line and decent support around the 1.0400 area gave me a decent buy signal a bit risky considering there has been a bit of resistance roundabout the 1.0500 area not to sure about usd/cad yet keeps hovering about the daily trend line.

Hi Coolshades,

It was a last ditch attempt for a long (unless we get a major rejection now!). General trend is up, support at 0.8900 (as per the first chart).

I decided to pull my stop to breakeven after we got an H4 pin bar rejecting the old trendline (chart two). I will now be looking for price to break lower and will then favour shorts!

Regards,

Dan

from purely a fundamental point of view i am wondering if its worth shorting the $ anymore?


i exited my audusd trade for 30 pips. wasnt comfortable anymore. my usdcad is still open. i could not close it in time. lets see.

cr - i think you did right in going long on usdchf. well, i wrote that and then i looked at divergence. lately i have been taking divergence trades to very good effect.

I went short on USDCAD as based on the candle reversal signals and M fornmation on H4 at resistance level ....I was wonderig if you has shorted this yet?

Quoting DanUK
Looks like it's decision time for USD/CAD... if the day closes as a "pin bar" I will be shorting!

Thanks champ. Will have a go next week as I am off for an early long weekend interstate for my sister in laws 50th.
Update on my trades....I also pulled my ozzie SL to B/E but my U/J short is travelling OK (entry 90.5). Next test will be 50% fibo level at 89 level (prev low)....if it bounces, we could find UJ moves in a range as it hasn't been able to break 90.5 level (has tried 4 x since 22 Jan).
Anyway, have a great w/e all. Catch you next week. Good trading
cheers
