Nice trades everyone. I'm short eurusd but it's hanging around 1.24 too much for my liking, either it's going to drop from here and the trend continues or it'll carry on retracing. Next week will tell. Have a good weekend all.
Position trader - Anything intraweek is just noise...

That was odd... there was a lot of selling pressure on eurusd pushing it down by 10 to 15 pips in quite big jumps just in the last few minutes of trading. I wonder if this tells us anything for the general direction next week? Could be one or more bigger traders stepping in to sell close to 1.24 which is turning out to be quite strong resistance. Mind you, could be traders closing longs for the weekend? We'll see.

It's probably the traders closing out for the weekend, there is the G-20 meeting in Toronto which could produce some headlines. I personally think if you cannot take a small pop of 100 pips against your position - you are too highly leveraged.

But most people don't trade like that it seems. They are often trading with other people's money as well, for what that's worth.....

DJIA posted 434 M shares traded today. Double the average daily volume of the last week. Finally, something worth paying attention to.

Looking at the daily chart I feel like I picked a good entry when the price turned around at 1.2450.

Looking at the weekly chart I feel like the price is going to go up after turning at 1.2200 support.

Now what? At least the trend is down.

I have a really long-winded answer the essentially amounts to :

I don't know.

I may post it later, but I would've had a much clearer view if it had happened two days ago.

Great answer.

Actually, with the G-20 this weekend, I wouldn't read too much into Friday or even Thursday.

I'll give this a shot:

My long winded answer was based not only on the DJIA but on it's potential movement based upon FX correlations. Since those have changed with respect the the index, that analysis is shelved for the moment.

I think the VSA guys might paint it as "accumulation" pointing to an upswing, which I think is possible, but I give the 50 and 200 dma a lot of credit when it comes to major indexes because so many traders trade them. The DJIA was constrained to the upside by the 200 on Wednesday, at a lvel I was looking at for a bounce, with extremely weak volume, putting the ki-bosh on any bullishness.

I will look for the MA's to cross in a few days, further inhibiting the upside and "proving" to MA traders that the downtrend is official. A break of the 200 dma or of established resistence at the 10.500 area would show valid bullishness.

As far as what it means to FX? I don't really know.

So what about Wimbeldon. Not a fan of football even if Scotland had been playing.

Go Andy go.

The US had a decent cup I suppose. One thing we need - a true striker, and not Clint Dempsey. I know he got ruffed up, but seriously, it's not even a rough sport. He spent much too much time on the ground.

And you Europeans don't start with me - I played Ice Hockey for 14 years. (And not that powder puff kind you play in Europe/Scandinavia.) So yes, soccer/football isn't a rough sport at all.

But one thing you can say about footballers, they do tend to recover from the edge of death quite quickly! For the record, my favorite US player is now Benny Feilhaber. But.....he was born in Rio de Janeiro. He currently plays in Denmark for Aarhus. Something tells me he will be playing in a real league soon. I was really impressed with our Brazilian hand-me-down.

Hup Holland!

Our crossing game was pathetic. Lots of opportunities... no execution. I love your statement about recovering from " the edge of death". That would be the name of a Soap Opera about soccer.

Keep your eyes and ears open for some kind of announcement out of the G-20 in the next few hours. They like to drop the communiques right before Asia opens the trading week.

Also, there could be no announcement. Just keep your eyes open, there could be a knee-jerk reaction.

I know. It's horrible. If I were a ref - divers would get straight reds. And a kick in the nuts for good measure. Worst part of the game.

Not much of a fan myself, but did see the highlights of that ridiculous match that went on forever and ever.

They must have been wiped out. And I could not imagine what losing that felt like. Horrible I am sure.

same old sh******** will happen.
everyone will blame refery and couch.
its like when traders lose money they blame broker or indicator.
I agree. They "lost" a goal, but to be honest - I think the result was fair, even if that one call wasn't. Just like yesterday, I can admit the US didn't deserve to win.
