1st chart is the daily chart. Price on the daily appears to have made a lower high with a large shooting star. From here I'll look for a signal on the 4 hr to go short if the R:R is alright...Maybe a pull back to the 21 MA/1.2848/61% fib.
I am not sure about short, yes, there is down trend and daily looks really nice, but all these talks about € rescue... I think 4h may show us HL, but only time can tell. Waiting, waiting, waiting...

Cant the 4hr MACD be considered as HL after a BOZ? I always thought Philips HL or LH pattern will break after MACD cross zero line.

I was not talking about MACD, I was talking about price.

in about 2.5h my 4h candle on gu will close. by then I might go short with a sl of about 100 pips.

the price has shown a lot of ampitude lately. now the upper shadow of the previous candle reached for the 21 and price goes down.
might make for a short entry depending on what happens during the next 2,5h.

edit:
now as the candle has closed I skip the trade. sure I could enter with a sl < 100 pips but the relatively large lower shadow of the candle confuses the setup. I wait for a better entry

I'd still consider entering during the next hours if price moved to 21, bounced off of it and closed below the 8

I was thinking about it last night while I was supposed to be sleeping (or maybe I was sleeping and dreaming about it...I'm not sure) and I thought that PRICE on the EUR would be in a consolidation period instead. As you said, we'll wait and see

Hi Raymond,

It seems to me that all that sleeping and dreaming of yours didn't help. lol

After you posted your very good analysis which I agreed with, I took a short off the 8 EMA at 1.2767. Will hold until around the lows like Palmer.

Hi Yuan. I don't watch the macd but I do go to the lower time frames like 15 min and 5 min.

two possible entries if I'm not mistaken

eu short, price has bounced off around 21 and could continue its downmove. I wait for the candle to close in about 2,5h.

gu long, price has crossed 8/21 and possibly attemts to break tl. for now it has come back to 21/8. if the next candle is rising and closes in about 6,5h above 8/21 then I might get in.

Here is a nice set up. We have just bounced off .8450 which is monthly and weekly support. Although this could be considered counter trend this is a major level and I expect a bounce towards .8600, another important monthly and weekly level. We have a bit of bullish divergence on some oscillators and more importantly, on my feed, a bullish H4 bar. Oh, and the RB on the MACD, of course.

I don't trade eg but according to your 4h thoughts I'd suggest a 1h entry if candle closes with up move above 21
