@Nighttrader
ema20 is a pretty poor way of defining a trend. not that it can't help, but relying strictly on it will put you in a position like today - you're just gonna miss things.
Yes I miss a lot waiting for them to change but still can't see a trade against them as anything else than a countertrend trade. From friday low it was not even a 38% fib retrace before people seems to be full of shorts.

.... lol...

I guess it depeneds on what they intervene with? BOJ Intervention with Yen (strengthening the $), or buying the euro (weakening the $).

When has intervention ever been a good thing anyways.... lol

Amaze me a little bit how many seems to catch the short today. Are you all countertrend traders?
That short was so big hat if you were anywhere near your computer at the time, hard to not get something out of it

But, I will say this. much as I am nearly a complete n00b at trading (but have a huge amount of experience in a kind of analysis that turns out to be really useful for trading), the slightly simplistic methods Im using have predicted every major move over the last week or so, even if the actual target levels and timing were a bit fluffy. Ive seen posts to suggest that today is an oddity, the high of friday was an oddity etc - I dont think they are at all, but maybe just hard to pick out.

I would suggest this - ignore such posts - go back over the charts - particularly W1, D1 and H4 and attempt to explain the last week - is all there one way or another and very many of the charts that people have posted on this thread over the last week have highlighted the clues as well.

Im guessing the folks with way way more experience than me probably got it all as well and got it alot tighter and they can probably exactly highlight the whys of specific levels and the timings in better details etc.

Meanwhile Im going back over them to see if I could have got timings and targets better as now that the fall was 5 days early - I have to work out WTF to do next! :o

I suspect that its just overshot and will drift back up to find its correct price and rejoin the trend it was supposed to be on for most of august.

Normally that type of price would be considered a valid bull move (on Friday), except that we never cleared the bear cluster from the 22nd/23rd.

To H&S'ish like to ignore. Risk reward was far better to the downside then to the north. Even if bull move played out, we wouldn't have seen much higher then 4500... and, we had a nice 50% hit of the bear candle from the 27th last night at 4444'ish.

Price loves 50% of suppl/demand zones, and even better when lined up with mofu's. No idea how they calculate those, but PTL and gator come to mind when creating them and they line up with my zones quite often.

NIKKEI reports Japanese intervention!? http://www.forexfactory.com/news.php?do=news&id=307191
10:44 PM ET last night:

"Of course it is a good thing that concerns (over the U.S. debt issue) are fading," Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda told reporters at parliament when asked about the impact of a U.S. debt deal on Japan's economy.

"I hope that will be firmly reflected in the market," he added. On the question of Japan's currency policy, he said, "Our basic stance is to continue to closely watch" the currency market."
