i closed my s. got a 3528 sig.. so ill wait for it.. it will bring my stop just above the current high from yesterday. if not i dont trade. until below 3414.0- for a s on the bounce... or 3418 area as a long.. or a HH
probably best not to trade with nfp near. my 4h 8 and day is pegged above 80 rsi.. other then that. i wouldn't be trading. the 3528 sig and the rsi don't agree, but both can be correct.
so far, so good. but it don't mean shit during nfp.
days ago, i had a non perfect sig to 3568/85 min

So market waiting nfp at top , looks more bear than bull but 3549 or any spike towards 3612 if possible before . if down then 3420 & or 3338 limit may again come action . so to wait only now .
fontu
Agree on the levels Fontu. From the latest intraday action, it looks like in line or slightly worse than expected NFP coming (below 100k but positive). Looking for overshoot 1.361x on reports and fight 1.342x for the weekly roll. Second scenario for trades is a bad NFP, that will make me fade H4 highs opening 1.336x with intermediate target 1.342x.

Last and less probable scenario a very big overshoot (positive) NFP, that will open the same 1.361x but it will cancel the fade short....

ES with clearer level but same setups than in euro...

i would not be surprised if we spike. then make a LL to 3192/3215. 3192 is still a valid underachieved target.

We'll need a strong NFP to open those levels today. We have euro deadline the 9th for the EU meeting ...the last 2 years, it has been buy the rumor and sell the news on that front and stocks markets are flirting to enter in mania mode for December so valid TA levels but it looks complicate to say the least....

Whatever the case, we need a bad NFP first to crack back breakout point ....

not in the decouple theory.. we had a taste of it last week... world gdp is up 3% while world debt is up 11%.. something has to give. no matter how bad the world gets. they all have to eat. the big mac is in the u.s. (north America)
all the e plan does is rob peter to pay paul. there is nobody to back the ecb. in the future. in most times the job loss goes up just as things start to get better. more people start looking again. in the near future lets c what nfp does. in late 2008 bad or good news was better for the usd. it didn't matter. we dropped on all news.

Agree....but why leave free money on the table on happy December when you can do it and sell the hell out of it in January?

news positive , not doing anything though but if low then will watch 3468 most important H4 tf pullback , breaks 3419/3 & breaks for 3338 , breaks top over for now .
just step by step or go up from any othose levels , settle to start some trading .First reaction little down , neglibile so far . high may short then .
