Eurusd 4hr chart. Those tow 38.2 fibs from the recent move down and the daily move up seem to be holding- added a 1/4 position back on my short as 21ema on 15min holding too
Looks like everything is holding, just not seeing the momentum, that 38.2% Daily seems to holding things up for now.

Need a bearish close to this 15min candle or else we may retrace higher up to the 50ma's (blue)

True, but don't forget your 1HR candle closing soon and price below the 50% and 200 HR MA would be ideal.

Yes, Turtle, bigger picture is down, but I see buyers in that last 15min candle that closed- high volume at support, (potential double bottom as well) so think we may get some upward movement before further down

Well traded 131, still nothing doing for me today, EU hasn't got high enough for me to sell yet.

I'm in the same mode lazyboy, I wanted it up around 1.3180-90 area.

Well, I got one in this morning so I'm not complaining.

But like 131 said earlier, discipline and patience is required in this Forex game.

Thanks Lazyboy. Very good discipline to wait until your criteria for a trade are met. I only entered a small position, seeing enough reasons to place a trade, and being prepared to add higher if necessary, but it worked out well.

There was a real battle going on on in that last 15min candle on euro. The 21 ema is holding back the bulls for now and support strong as well. There's been a lot of volume in this narrow price range below 66 too

Yep a battle it is.

Aussie fell below 1.0350, a close below the 100 & 200 Day MA, could lead to further downside.
