Top triangle slope concave, lower one convex?
Nah... just basic slope angle. I gave you the numbers in my earlier post, now do the maths!

Hint: You will need Pythagoras' help

For me this week will be all about the Euro and because of that, Sterling. There are big failures of confidence in what is happening in the Eurozone and the will or even the ability to hold things together. The UK is inextricably tied to that problem. This causes uncertainty in equities and world trade futures.

Although the USA does not want it, this means a stronger dollar and we can see this is already happening with the USDX very bullish and having another strong run at 80. If the SNB fails to support the Euro above 1.2 this will exarcerbate the situation.

I know the sentiment on this thread is bullish but hoping doesn't win and we now have a consolidated row of 5 bearish weekly candles above the 1.5650 support. (My chart here http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...48#post5419248) Then take a look at the USDX on the daily chart where cable supported at this level in the past?

So I will be surprised if we rally above 1.5695 - 1.5720 before we break 1.5650 support. Especially if cable consolidates in this area.
Gone to a better place

But if the slope of 1 triangle is steeper than the slope of the other triangle and the slopes of the 2 triangles are connecting, how can the slope of the overall 3rd LARGE triangle be straight? Based on your relative angle assessment of the 2 smaller "inner triangles", should not the steeper slope of the smaller triangle in the top image produce a concave 3rd larger triangle slope, and a convex 3rd larger triangle slope in the bottom image due to the repositioning of the slope differential?

Come on man... where were you last week... Greece and the Euro are saved... LOL

I am sure Bernanke or one of his cronies will mention QE3 is not out of the question yet or a continuation of Operation Twist just to confuse the noobs.

Money and Markets comnented that SOME of Europes money may flow into US markets due to its positive sentiment lately and may limit USD strength to some degree.

My understanding of concave and convex is different to yours, but you are correct in stating that on the lower picture, the slope changes angle when the green triangle finishes and the red starts.

Basically, on the upper picture it is a straight line, whereas on the lower picture it is not a straight line. If you look very carefully, you will see that it is not a straight line.

Let me get this straight... if Europeans are moving money into the US markets, they would sell Euro and buy USD. How can that limit USD strength to some degree then? It would have quite the opposite effect unless I am missing something here.

Yes, but once this US cash is then injected into the stock market due to positive US outlook lately wouldn't the USD weaken again?

I am talking out of my arse here... neither are straight lines and you are absolutely right... one is concave and the other is convex.

Indeed. Although Friday saw the US markets and USD rally, so the correlation can break down.

My overal thought process is that with the US looking like they don't want to stop the printing press anytime soon and US stock market looking a lot better than the Euro one, would people prefer to send their money to Gold and stocks rather than parking it as USD?

lol

It is a single point concave/convex rather than a smoothed concave/convex and I had the latter in my stoopid brain... lol

Righteo... bed is calling. I am working from home tomorrow as I am expecting the delivery of a brand spanking new washing machine in the afternoon, but that doesn't mean I am going to spend my time in here as I am expected to do some bloody boring work tomorrow.

So it's goodnight from me and I will drop by at the weekend.

Watch out for those flying frying pans

not sure if price will move lower after 1h printed long consolidation, tho 4h hasn't confirms anything yet.. so triggered 1 test position at 5665 with the stop at 5640 just below the support zone..

atm, pressure can be seen pushing the price lower in 1h, if the price unable to make at least 1 bullish candle in 1h, i reckon my sl will be hit, unless the market can prove to close above at least 5690, then perhaps it might retrace up..

green pips guys..

Hi,

I took a short at 1.5666 an hour ago, stop loss is at 1.5672. I usually don't trade the asia session.

i think at current price level, it is better to be on the bull side due to the trade risk reward ratio unless of course, breakout of the support..

anyway, i can understand that at current price level brings confusion to both side due to how the daily close which can be seen that further continuation can happen (this leads to bearish view) and 1h and 4h exhaustion pattern where this can lead to bullish view.

with that being said, i think your position might have a chance either the continuation of the movement happen today or price retrace to the upside, since i think we are in a downtrend but just be careful of the drawdown.

Personally, i prefer to take on the bullish side atm as long as the support remain intact.
