In simple words wrong fundamentals (timing). This move from a fundamental point of view has nothing to do (or very little) with debt crisis. That's "old" news already digested and rejected on your chart (the fear part of the move down...the other is still there an it will cap any move above 1.40xx).

Since last week we are playing inflation and interest rates expectations (check UK inflation today ...) and to the more short term earning season in the US.

Thanks sisse. This stuff is still hard to get my hear around!
A pip is only worth it if you know how much you risked to earn it

Well once you do know what you are doing.

After knowing what the market is doing.

Then it is discipline.discipline. discipline.

The swings give the strategy and only expected targets give expected supports for breakouts. Rounding off saves lives.

Listen to your alter ego.....Then Understand him.....he is saying something.....or better just leave it to system......

Sure. I meant implying that fundamental analysis and trading is easier is as false as saying that 90% of the traders in FF make a killing everyday.

It's not easy as in with any other trading tools it take time, effort and consistency to make it worth (that why the majority refuse and oversee fundamentals by default) and it always get confused with the news speculative part of the move (which almost all the time has nothing to do with macro fundamental direction)

In any case, IMO fundamentals is always a good tool to master or at least understand the basics especially if you are not scalping or daytrading below H4.

Bullish view at moment .
1) japan ,china,russia supporting euro.
2) few good bond auctions another one today spain.
3) oil is up .75%
4) china worried about the trillions of dollars they have losing value.
5) Yesterday i noted large orders getting filled at 2980-3000 level we spent a long time at that level building positions the result being a 150 pip move up so far.
6) broke the lows of the range with a move to 2850 and spent all last week reversing it in a bull run.

Based on the above short term i see us at least testing 3500,possibly higher.
making green pips large and red pips small this is my goal.

If the name game of the game is trust ... I don't trust in anything and anybody in trading just my statistical edge on my trading plan as long as it works.

So sure Central Banks and etcs are as trustworthy as your bucket shop broker miscalculating indicators or spreading you out of a trade or the non sense TL and magic numbers we sometimes we traders use to pull the trigger or analyze direction. In simple words it's your statistical edge that makes the difference not the tools you are using. In your case is clear that you "hate" fundamentals. Well good for you as long as you make money. IMO, There is no right or wrong approach in trading.
