Well it doesn't look ready yet in my charts TA wise alone. A weekly support after a deep move is not an easy one to break on a first attempt. However, FA and related markets are heavily pointing to a panic move. An as you probably know me by now. FA (over)rules any TA move...

In any case, I got 1.329x next level down what do you got to the down side...

33% 2000-08 => 3440, for now.. if taken.. then we see.. but as I can see we are going to challenge 31xx level this year for sure..

Oh sure I meant below the current weekly S. I agree with 1.344x for overshoot on weekly S....

I'm definitely in sell the rallies mode atm..., latest entry was s @ 3644.

This thing has been stair stepping all day long today (up and down). Just moving with the flow I have no longer term outlook at the moment (other then overall bias short), but not sure how far south I am looking.

Daily completely ignored some daily demand zones slamming right through 'em.
Are you looking over my shoulder?

i was s from 3601... i closed now because if 3583 being a support... i have a long 5m sig usually good for 40... but im not taking it.. i will sell it... in a strong move the 40 normal may only be 20 pips.. so i will look to short 3603/05 if i have a decent 1m sig.

Maybe 3618 might be a good place for a short.

at the moment waiting to see how the daily closes. if 3590 holds we may go for the higher resistance test 3840. if we close below 3590, 3450 is radar for me as well. (posted these earlier on the EU thread)
as Sisse pointed EUR market hurt badly, we are crossing all intraday supports.. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a new Lew - even today..

DX and the bonds have gotten a little frisky, and with ES sick, this level might give way this time...

But what'do I know?

Good numbers..Markus.

Question is how far up the limits it can go to see the numbers Below?

What is your resistence level other than 1.3730...

can it go below more and if so how far is the limit?

What if this 3 of 3 may be is extended 5 C wave not A.... counting from 1.4549.


Hello Raza my friend,


sorry for answering so late. Was working and had trouble with my Notebook :-(

From what I see now the subwave 5 I was waiting for never materialized.

Therefore I think 3551 on 09.09.2011 was the end of a 3 of 3 of 3, and now we are in wave 4 of 3 of 3. Maybe this wave 4, which counts best as an ABC expanded flat was finished at 3693

This count is invalidated with movement above 3874

3730 had two reasonings:

a) it is the lower channel line of the first base channel

b) it would have been kind the heart of the 3 of 3 of 3

To the lower side there are literally no limits, since we can extend and extend and extend (surprise: behavior of a wave 3 - really brutal, relentlessly)

Therefore it is important to NOT try to catch a bottom (without confirmation). If you plan so, keep SL super tight at S/R-lines.

But the rule of thumb is: do not fuc! around with wave 3's of this magnitude.


Regarding your C-wave proposal:

Everyone and their dogs thought about > 1.50 (either in ABC-Counts or in impulsive counts)

Everyone and their dogs were/are? highly bullish, with sentiment readings far above 90% for EUR. In their view the USD was doomed due to "printing". But they did not see the forest for the trees with bankrupt countries looming in Europe. Perfect scenario for wave 2 end and start wave 3 scenario.

We will see.

Due to the corrective mess we are in since moths I will not rule out a single alternative EUR bullish count, but with reality setting in in my beloved Europe it is hard to imagine how social mood could take another turn right now.


Keep care and best to you,


Markus

70? did you take it on the rejection of last h4 highs or on the close....?. In any case, nicely done.

I am also clearing 1st target on H4 support (the freaking support that wasn't tested in the morning .....) on the hourly close. I am aggressively trailling stops as TA is still not ready to a new break today without a FA or risk trigger in my books. Obvious daily S @1.350x and jackpot at 1.329x (but look v. unrealistic TA for now) still open.

Sold the rally after the turn on the 10m chart, Ceiling established at 3644 and took the short on the retest. Was zoomed all the way in, didn't pull much from the h4.

Pretty sure everyone else is seeing the same thing now... 3536 (h4) and 3487(Daily)... decision level to determine if we are going to continue down or actually start a bit of an uptrend on the h4.
