Don't think anything. The market can go either way at any given time... we have no control over it. All we can do is make educated guesses with our methods through discipline and money management.
Thats all about trading... What I meant is that my analysis shows that there is potential for down trend to start at this point...So I am looking for confirmation of my analysis and a trigger to go short... I am not saying I am short now...

Fair enough Svet. I came to the same conclusion but got my short in a lot earlier through my own methods as discussed in my posts and now I am in the privileged position of having a free trade -

If it goes down, it is all good and I got my analysis correct. If it goes up, never mind, on to the next one, but I've lost nothing.

If you feel that this is going down, it has to break 1.3666 first and sell on any pull backs to 1.3721, unless you prefer the breakout strategy, then sell 1.3660 but be careful of any fake outs. To be honest... I am flat at this moment, but we have lots of major news items this week that could really shift this in either direction!

I wish you success with your trading!

Fair play, but including Sunday's data in analysis can skew the chart pattern.

GL with the trade, you may well reach your objective if Asia probes lower.

I rode it down this morning, the last qtr of my position was stopped out at 720, I'd placed my stop just above Friday afternoon's spike lows, a bit obvious in hind-sight, still nice to start the week with a 100 pip winner...

MAs like any other indicators are lagging. They are based on previous price history. Therefore, this thing can trace back to 1.33 (That is a 500 pip move down) and move back up again and the cross will still be valid! A classic example of this occurred in September 2008!

There are many assumptions but few of them are:
1. The pair is very overbought on DAILY chart
2. Daily chart - 5th wave seems to be completed
3. Possible confirmation for point 3 is the fib cluster that formed right at 1.38
4. A move down has started - should be watched carefully in order to see if it is the start of the trend (which I believe) or is another correction.
5. Anyway, the pair is limited on the upside move (extremely overbought) and even if it goes up it is not going much further.
I used to make the same mistake you're making right now (well...that I think you're making...time will tell). I preached technicals till I was blue in the face. I saw macd's/rsi's/fibs/waves/etc blow up in my face time and again. It's because I was only looking at half the picture. Now, I'm primarily a fundamentals trader who uses technicals to pick my entry/exit points.

You can talk about waves till you're blue in the face...it doesn't change the fact that there are basic economic fundamental premises that are actively at work that continue to devalue the dollar. The worst thing that can happen right now in the US is deflation...you'll have an economic collapse because everyone will be walking away from their mortgages. The FED isn't going to allow that to happen. They'll buy 10T worth of treasury bonds before they let deflation hit the market.

Too bloody right... best risk/reward ratios! Expect to be wrong more often than not, but then you need to choose your levels carefully! The rewards, if you get it right, can be very rewarding!

Sorry to be so pedantic, I've got a 50, 100 simple cross, but not 50, 200 which is the one I thought was a technical golden cross.

Very bullish looking chart which ever way you cut it, I would still expect to see a little more sideways action or a slightly more protracted correction tho'...

Sorry had a couple of those set to exponential, yes you're right the golden cross doesn't look too far off.

Ah yes... the Japanese tried that and failed miserably. The problem is that central banks think they can manipulate the free market, whereas they should just let the markets do their own thing. Of course it will be painful by doing nothing, but all they are doing is prolonging the pain and in some cases making it even worse later on.

I think the key is, to understand where those levels are, from an order flow and smart money perspective.

Close stop, always take off half or stop to b/e on the initial bounce to cover risk...
If you always wait for confirmation then you're usually on the wrong side of the dealing spread and further from your stop, it's a lot less stressful being in profit while the market makes it's mind up.

It's not comfortable buying a red candle or selling a green, but from a risk perspective it's the safest way to trade.
