If it is helpful ...In my charts H4 hold daily support 1.389x and the "fight" is for the close today for continuation tomorrow because tomorrow is a pretty flat day report-wise after inflation #s from China ( that are usually marginal for direction on this pair but difficult to quantify....don't expect much) and the typical pre G7 rumors on common positions for the weekend

So, TA in control meaning important close to decide profit taking on weekly bears or continuation to monthly levels...

Just fat-fingered and closed my lowest order completely!

Ah well...green is green. 0.5 lot remains on the other.

I am off again, but wanted to share a monthly chart here.

This one is off the bullflag from 1999. If this plays out we are looking at sub 1.33. The only thing to stop this is QE3.

Food for thought.

same here... closed the one I had at the lm @3973.6 and thought it just wants to get a kiss from 3941.5... who would have thought?
at least, the left one has a valid mofu-cross on H4.

normally id say keep a finger on the out button on your longs if we closed below 3971.. and one on your nutz if we closed below 3941... in the next h close.
but its the time of the day we drift north. often after that h close, after making a low. my day doji was green.. mostly uses babel here. but waTCH the levels closes.
got what i came for.. the day and the week closed below would be a bonus.

Thks Gator. Could have been a lot better with the entry yesterday (didnt get filled by 4 ticks) ...

Let see if 87.6x hold weekly close for potential shorts...otherwise 88.8x (with overshoot to 89.2x) continuation ...above that will need some FA. At that levels shorts will look a lot nicer on a rejection of daily R...we'll see

nice trade.
Fat-fingered the one, though! May have closed prematurely. I'm fine with it...in the bank.

Down to the close, and if Asia pushes back into range. Wouldn't surprise me to see them take it north. 224 hi to low today. More often than not, they won't extend on those sort of moves. They do like to sell into the weekend, though. We'll see.

Hope you're well, mate...cheers!

Well, from the markets perspective, it hasn't really priced in the idea of QE3... kind of surprised by that. Unless the lows of the dollar were the priced in QE3.
the USD is keeping its place as a safe haven only due to the fact it is the only currency with deep enough liquidity for the major players to invest in... Ben didnt give anymore fodder for QE3 today either... basically just giving more shit to congress about being so inept

USD strength across the board

business as usual... when I'm in a trade, they bounce like mad, when not, they don't

though I think, Asia might be interested to backfill at least. 3848.9 in sight, where I would like to see a bounce.

hkAnus, did you take my hint on 5990? You are looking at 5930-ish next.
