That is very true Gator. What the heck will happen with the ECB holdings is the BIG ? in all this.... not Greece. That's why the Germans are so vocal with Greece "IS NOT GOING TO DEFAULT" speech of the last weeks.

I can only imagining that the Germans and others already have or about to have a plan B and that's why they are allowing Greece to play the puppet master until march. There is no much information about that so I still have my doubts , they may not find a solution for the ECB holdings yet and that's why all this mumbojumbo of the last...
the Greeks couldn't pay the bills 2 years back. now 2 years later the cost is even more. the amount taken in decreases each day. nobody can call this over with a straight face.
they simply spend more then they make. taken away money from the working and the retired. lowering the standard of living to pay for the past sins is needed. and when it happens people revolt.

they also buy less (they have less money) they buy less from exporters like Germany. Greece is small.. add in a few of the other smaller ones. when a country like Germany has a 3% growth outlook. and you take away most of the spending of a few small countries that 3% turns negative real quick.

people with less money, usually like this. spend a greater % on basics like food/shelter/clothing. with less going to highly engineered products like vw/bmw. the Greeks can grow their own cabbage. Less money usually breeds crime. so the tourist may stay away/ a high euro surely will not help.
if they do those measures today.. its no longer a future reality, its now.
some will throw rocks. some will die. this can spill over to the other southern countries. those decisions are made on paper. they still have to be signed in blood.
those who can, do. those who cant, talk about those who can

What do you guys think has more power? Say price enters a consolidation. Upon exiting consolidation

a) Price makes a higher high and comes back down into the range (Implies weakness of sellers; failed to hold the highs)
b) price makes a higher low in the range (implies strength of buyers, held the lows)

Preferred is obviously higher high && higher low... but, well, ya know...
Well I wouldn't put that in terms of sellers vs buyers because you can't know if there's weakness of sellers or simply a lack of interest to buy at the highs and viceversa so ....

In any case the implications can be the same but if you add S/R analysis from a major TF in the analysis you can have a better picture of who is/will be in control. So for example those HH and back to the range against a major TF Resistance is a reversal of rejection of highs signal not a continuation (regardless of HH), etc. etc .... A second example is the typical textbook case where price make HH and retrace but those HH are way below R ...meaning buy the dip and definitively the more powerful signal, etc

In simple words and in my TA opinion who has more power will vary according to the area you are trading in.

I've been trying to identify which is the stronger signal, but nothing has been clear to me yet. Both have equally provided directional movement, and failed as well.

I can't argue with the gloomy outlook for Greece. There might be blood, sure but in the case of a "functional" democracy they should at least stop voting for the same corrupt politicians that put them in this situation (is not 1st time btw) in the first place.

After, if there is blood, I would 1st hang all the idiots and corrupt PMs they have had in the last decades (do you know that last PM Papandreou is the 3rd one [grandfather,father and son] to be PM in Greece....and guess which one is the one who put the seeds for the whole current mess in public finance/taxes and etc his father 20 years ago....a joke really).

In any case, "What you sow is what you reap" so blaming the "others" instead of accepting your responsibilities and taking action in your problems only perpetuate corruption and stupidity. Changing this, is all in Greek hands not anywhere else.

Agreed as well sisse. When I am really into my trading I like to only look at the current chart (so If I am on the 5m I don't pay attention to the bigger time frames). Just try to get a feel for the current order flow and jump in and out based on that. Confluence of support and resistance is a big one for me though, especially when aiming for a swing play.

If you really want to play the break out... Let's say it's resistance.. You look for a HL and a momentum bar into it. Wait for that to complete and enter on the pull back towards the resistance. If it fails, you have time to get out. If it goes up and then retests the resistance, you're good to go. Either way, you have enough time to exit if it turns bad..
