Bloomberg is carrying hawkish comments from ECB’s Mersch:
Excessively low interest rates can distort economy
ECB may reassess view on risks to economic outlook
ECB will probably make exit statement at next meeting

another proof that vsa is rubbish

i bought, made the screenshot and here we are.

eur remains bullish no matter what. asia dumps usd and buys eur like mad, drop it during asian session with their yennies, buy it like mad in eur + us

as i said, all that happened was a big flushout of longs. to make it more powerful, we should rapidly clear this price range so nobody attempts to step in.

Dear Doc -

When you say big flushot of longs, I gather you are looking for a break (or a retest?) of the recent highs near 1.3714? Is that right?

Sorry about the noob questions...

yes, exactly. i even see higher prices soon.

as nicely mentioned by sean from fxlive, market was heavily net short usd, so to grab soem stops and flushout weak holders, which might sell into a rally later (by profittaking) they trigger those stops now which also offers the opportunity to buy some more.

asian central banks alos buy like mad.
i remain bullish but the point is, we cannot know how long this game will go on and they have enough, so eur is hard to trade longerterm without big stops, even if you are right with being on the long side.

Hmmmm, I agree tbh. This is Euro strength alone and typically Sterling needs to jump on board too. Let's see if we get any hawkish comments from Merv the Swerve or his cohorts in the coming hours.....

I think we'll retrace back below 1.36, unless Sterling plays catch up.

I am looking for a Euro test above 1.37, but not quite yet.


Let's see......

Damn this VSA don't workie - I'll be taking my TP1 @ around here for a 100 pipper; 1.364ish is resistance, 76.4% workback of the Asia fall, and 38.2% below Friday's high. (I know, I know ... too many lines on the chart! )

TBH, I didn't think we'd work our way back this fast ... now, how's that H4 lookin' ...

VSA is just one type of analysis tool, so may not be enough as you mentioned.
I also would not know "exactly" how much strength/weakness to make a price turn, or whether anyone knows "exactly".
Perhaps the other VSAers here can respond to your "exactly" issue.

Be good for us to know where is "Real Support and Real Demand".
Mostly do this on the longer time frame.
Here simple Support/Resistance lines would be the easiest guide, and Market Profile / Auction Market Theory would add more value.
We really need to have a guide on where...
thanks for the reply.
(side track a bit)

I had tried to look into pnf to 'calculate' the accumulation/distribution area to see how far it will move the price.. also to see if it can work with vsa.. but im still not quite understanding how to come up with the pnf chart :S

btw, i also just noticed that price went up to the same area as on Feb 9th, before it fell to the same area as Feb 7, before it bounced off that level... almost like a mirror image.. maybe this like what they described as a "inverted head and shoulder" formation.

Nice. I use the Better Pro Am indi's and find they are excellent, although they don't pick up everything, (BTW, ND on euro 10M) so I usually monitor multiple timeframes.

TG is coming out with their VSA plug-in on TradeStation, Sierra Charting, MetaStock & MT4 this quarter; think it'll be $1500/year. MT4 should be pretty S.M.A.R.T ...

back to 3640 where the short entry this morning was.

looks pretty much like friday...same path or failure?

price is now back between 3650 and above the tl whose first low formed last wednesday. dangerous zone.

Well done - with your posts i have started to look more at the 20min time frame for signals/tests etc and in quite a few instances it is clearer than the 15M and 30M - so thank you for sharing your context and analysis structure - interesting at times how often when the test or vsa principle is not clear on one time frame it truly pays to zoom up or down a time frame and often one gains more clarity - of course the background must always be borne in mind and not lead to habit of saying that looks like a test etc when in reality the market is in pause mode and not ready to move up or down. again thanks kinsale!

Fusion was hopefully referring to today's action as a whole, rather than the strong up bar.

The shakeout was on the cards a dozen hours ago, and it was alluded to in this thread (not specifically, but bullish posters talking of significant and sharp retracement). We see a strong background littered with shakeouts, so we should expect them. Today we see a dip below yesterday's lows - we should start thinking shakeout at this point. We still wait, of course. We see it pierce the lows of previous days and hit a period of high activity. At this point, a shakeout is a high probability, and one we should be looking to bet on.

This is the problem with focusing on bars/candles. It does make for easier recognition, but it also means relying on that specific bar forming. It might be a good idea to watch faster timeframes and learn to visualise that action as whatever patterns you use (e.g. add three faster bars to form a test on a slower timeframe).

It's not catching if it is picked up off the ground!
