i got short too at the bounce of the 200SMA, also mid-pivot there.
it doesn't totally look good for now but let's hope. target 1.2805 close to daily pivot for 20 pips.
target reached. thank you rufus, it's always great sharing ideas. you're doing a great job! have a nice day.

Even the 1h chart looks good for a short. Put in the call....get this thing to drop..

I would like to get a little more distance before the medium impact news comes out in 32minutes

in a thin market, light news day, those euro inflation numbers could make the mare go. European stocks are down - if the inflation numbers are low your shorts might have room to run. I am flat til the news...

I have moved to BE. A little before I would like to, but sometimes you just have to cover your ass.

Last night was just under even. That Monthly pivot has continued to hold. It will be interesting to see where price takes it today. The way I am figuring the current trend is 4h just turning up with the hour of course up. The longer time frames down.

If this monthly pivot breaks down. I more than likely will be working with shorts. Otherwise we may be starting a new longer term trend to work with.

I will be back for TO to look for any swing positions. LO to start in on intraday.

Below is the current chart.

Also according to my fib measurements there might be the makings of a H/S which of course will send me to longs

I know that it's still early, but, you might want to keep in mind that at 09.30 London Time there is the UK CPI y/y announcement, could be rollercoasterish on the cable. I'm sure you knew it but just to remind it to everyone.

Expercted value 3.1% if over 3.4% it will head north quickly, if lower than 2.8% it will head south. Anything in between shouldn't influence it too much, it "shouldn't" .

many pips!

Long GU. 1.5639

Rufus

Closed out first part at 20 pips, and moved stops up to BE.

I chose the pound for this trade as it looked like the safer of the two. (EU & GU). The pound retraced all the way to the daily pivot. And there seemed to be more areas of resistance to protect my stop.

We are in a range bound market just over 60 pips, my minimum. I took my entry in London session off the bounce off the daily pivot with the stochastics in oversold area in both 15m and 5m charts.

My next target is just under Tokyo high,(Before Frankfurt hit’s the seen) Also under “00” at 1.5690. The last piece I will leave on incase we break out of the range and get a runner.

Thanks for the reminder. I forget news events all the time when I get into my charts. Maybe the news will be the catalist to get some things rolling here.

Hit my stop on the lst two parts +1 for each.......Nice

The greatness of lower liquidity, range bound, and news coming.

Looking at the EU now
