Is anyone else seeing a double bottom forming on behalf from 1.4250 to 1.2950 to 1.3450 to 1.2950 to "1.????" on the Daily chart? Longterm trends continue, and long term technicals shows we may have a pull back after consumer credit data. This could be significant.

To play Devil's Advocate here:

USD Index can't stay above 81.00

The pair bounced off a critical Fibonacci extension level

M15

Risk appetite has returned, and the major sentiment that brought us here in the first place, has subsided.

If we keep dropping here, it's only because the snowball has picked up steam, but as far as Technicals,Fundamentals and Sentiment go, there is no reason to continue a plunge.

And critical Fan Line support...
Not Devil's advocate at all. Valid spot.

a smaller then expected number and I will ignore both spikes only to see the resultant confirmation of the trend. A smaller number may well start a retrace here for some decent profit taking.


3. only marginally smaller, ignore both spikes
4. far smaller then expected, trade the retrace

A bit mixed, but the headline number was smaller so I traded what I planned and took a long on the retrace, stops at BE now and let's see if this continues to play out as I planned.

Why am I biased long for the time being? Risk appetite.

Paul1: its not 2950 its 3050 and 3000
our news feeds are different opinions then buddy.
Personally if there are 2, I concentrate on the "00"or "000" in this case
making green pips large and red pips small this is my goal.

The next trigger I will be looking for to hold on to my trades is a positive open.

I'm trying to build a small short position going into London and then NFP - levered at ~5:1. My broker, InteractiveBrokers, has been kept tight spreads and instant execution during volitile trading thus far. I'll have my finger on the cover button with a market order loaded when NFP's released. It's a bit of a coin flip, but with the way the PA's been, I just don't see a rush into the EUR in front of the weekend.
Fortunately, my position was small and I covered into this last bounce to book +9 pips. More luck than anything else; had the EUR kept going north of 1.303 on the initial news release, I would have covered for ~-60 pips.

Note to self: Never, NEVER have an open position when market moving data is released.

After that, I'm tempted to throw in the towel for the day (it's Friday so volumes should be light) and enjoy a long weekend.
