Perhaps - as I said, I'm staying in this until the bitter end.

I'm curious, though - how often do you see sudden surges/plummets like this that don't have a clear explanation, either in the fundamentals or the technicals?
Not very often. Every couple of months maybe.

Right - so in other words, I shouldn't feel too awful about not seeing this one coming? I take losses rather personally - after all, it's a zero-sum game, so whenever I'm losing, that means someone is winning, and vice versa

I don't think you lost. Fib Retracement shows 50% at 9084. I still think we see it.

Price pinged off the Daily 50MA late on Friday found its buyers and has not looked back since!

Price currently up against decending trendline and WR1. Also above all medium to longer term MAs and with commodity markets looking somewhat bid at the start of this week its hard to even think about shorts on this pair now.

Lets have a cracking week.

She broke R, tested and failed. Developing bear candle on H1. We shall see!

More like a shooting star - and I'm somewhat hopeful because it was created as a result of two consecutive bearish 15M candles. The 4H candle closed with a bullish body, but a wick as long as the body itself.

I guess this is the moment we've been waiting for - if the next hourly is bearish, it may signal at least a retracement, and possibly a reversal.

We're not out of the woods yet, but this may save the lives of a few reluctant bears about to swallow the cyanide - there's hope yet!

My gut tells me that if it had the power to run 160pips, it could have gone right through the top of the channel and made their intentions known.

I ask myself why not?

Could it be that SM, powered it up to that point and stopped, having some cover their shorts and others jump in this "bull" run, trapping both?

What about this move makes a short holder feel comfortable?
What about this move makes the long holder feel comfortable?

If longs are comfy and it drops, greed will kick in and they will hold for it to go back up.

If shorts panic, they will cover the shorts.

How to kill both?
Bring price down.

If not, at least the worst is behind us, not many pips north to breakout.

Good luck,
BR

I think the bears will be alright! My H4 candle doesn't close for another 50 minutes but is shaping up quite nicely. I really am not concerned of whether or not it is going to drop. It will. My timing is just off a little.

Interesting theory - but who are the SMs you're referring to? What does the acronym stand for?

Three consecutive 15M bear candles now, which is the longest consecutive run the bears have had this afternoon.

Hard to type with my fingers crossed...

Sorry....

SM = smart money. They are the largest financial institutions (central banks, large commercial banks and hedge funds). They have the power to take a currency to the pip where they want it and hold it by either buying or selling incredible qualities.

lol... you could. Can you imagine the war rooms, with endless buying or selling to win a move? (shudder at the thought).

For myself, I have this website with islands for sale. I think I will trade coconuts and bananas.

You know, there's one thing about this SM theory that I find particularly interesting - if you look at the wicks of the last 7 hourly candles, they're all much longer than you'd expect them to be in an uptrend like this.

It's almost as if the price is being dragged, kicking and screaming, to a level where the market really doesn't think it ought to be.

Interesting, huh?
