Is this the bounce we have been waiting for on the EU at the 1.4280 area?

Could be - although I am feeling rather confused with the chaos of the day...

Good call! very messy at the mo.

I'm OK with sitting out in this type of market. One thing that I practice is when we are in a consolidation zone I will not trade until that zone is decisively breached and probably not until it has been retested and rejected.

Your thoughts Dan?

I was looking for a bounce down from underneath earlier, but you are right price has decided to go back up again and looks to be bouncing of the 80.

could be a flag developing but i would use caution.

I think I am out for the day. Can't sit and watch any longer.

No trades, and no losses for me today. Tomorrow is another day.

F**k me those poor sods haven't they suffered enough.

My thoughts on days like this-with news like the Euro Interest rate rise+big USD news this afternoon, the big boys are repositioning themselves in light of this new data. And as price has not moved definitively into new areas, then why bother.

But I could be wrong

Hi SD. If you zoom out on the EU, it looks alot like an inverted head & shoulders.
btw oil is over $110.
Scenario #1: Could be that the euro has some more climbing to do.
or:
Scenario #2: My crack dealer slipped me "Mickey"

I just started reading this thread. Looks like a good idea. I'm looking at EU this evening. Anyone else looking at it?
