Looks extremely tempting in my books too with a target a bit further than that 1.385x (mid term obviously). TA wise is inches a way to confirm (especially if today lows hold) but I have a a FA restriction in my plan and that's FED. Without it, I am cautious and still neutral in the pair.

The last BB comments opened a lot of options but they were timid and a bit cryptic but gold reaction wasn't. WE know the FED, they have been doing it since the first rate cuts during Lehman (and QEs), they launch a small almost hidden nuclear comment and they...
indeed, mate, the reaction to/or any surprises will be key, and may very well take me out, but I have been waiting for a chance at 3066 for a while, seems like a good place to take a shot, so I did...

I hate trading. LOL.

How you been Ally? Still slinging the dustbins like crazy? Flying much?
well a guy made me an offer on my plane that i couldn't refuse so i sold it. i wasn't trying to at all but this guy sold his business for some good money and figured he had more money than time so he wanted my plane pretty bad. i had met him at a flyin and that is where he saw it and fell in love with it then. i threw him an offer that i thought he would chock on or at least shut him up but he didn't blink and said he would take it. i miss it but there is another plane i been looking at for some time that is faster and uses less ave gas so shopping around now.

still dusting the bins ... some things don't change you know. i also have been playing around with swing trades and picked up 82 pips last night so happy with that. i see why you like them so well ... set it and forget it

bro with vix at 14 with low volume its scary
Well only with low VIX marks we can have a extreme slope trend like the current. Yeap a bit of a light session but we are trading in space in "uncharted" territory from Quarterly to Daily since 2008...would't even consider the current break as valid TA break with FOMC and with US in Lunch time ...

Glad to hear it! That is awesome with the place transaction as well. Some things are just too good of an offer to give up. I've never let this one phrase leave my mind: "Something is always worth what someone is willing to pay for it".

3134 area would be one place.. also 3152 54 62 are others.. rejection at any may happen.. new closes below 3107 are probably an early sign of attempting to dive. all s/r.. s/r 3108
