me too.. look back further, jan was the first time.
If it wanted to continue it shouldn't have stopped here. Let's see if it bounces and comes back. In the mean time I will not discount any longs and be cautious with shorts... Move above 85 and consolidation there will be very good for longs..

i dont doubt any bounce. in a normal time. i would wait for 3425/26 to s.. that way i have a 1 to 4 r/r... for 3247... 3247 is not a certainty.. but it is a high probability trade before the risk at 348x-high

a pause or bounce at a fib is normal.. we are also beyond daily atr.

Flat across the board in a below par session here until the monthly roll.

Gold still in the lead and clean swept of longs. European markets floor closed at reversal/pullback in daily. ES fighting the rejection of highs for the same but intraday BB bar is very strong.

On currencies all need monthly roll, Euro flirting with daily pullback but monthly roll at 1.338x is the key. Cable with a lot more room to last break out and 1.603x still open. AUD rejecting highs and Gold can weight heavy on the pair and Yen in the strongest pullback against the dollar in a few years holding steady...

Nothing to do till the close.

Nice to heard that bro... here a v. mediocre week so far. Still plenty of options in play for this week.

In any case, the "big" analysts are translating BB now on the wires. Most of them (not all) are reading as no QE3 and the Gold sell-off as a warning signals that a rate hike can be on sight for Q4.

If that's the case, we'll need a new very strong round of FA positive numbers in the US to offset and convince the markets that not more free money is need and the economy can walk alone again.

Early to judge in charts yet but definitively we are +/- inside of key areas TA wise.

Watch out cable to the top side. No more QE "confirmed" from BOE.

Massive sell-off in commodities. Look at silver for god sake and in gold if 1704.x is taken we have a massive engulfing reversal candle in daily (very tempting and tradable) to 1598xx.

We had so many key structural FA today with monthly close on top that the next few weeks will pretty much pure technicals with the typical NFP and etc in the middle for positioning.
