Maybe it's quite not a textbook wick, but she closed through the 35/50ema and it's in a good location.

YOU WIN THE POST OF THE WEEK!!!!

That was my mind set this morning, charts kept saying bullish.

Welcome to the thread....

HOLLA
Thank you for the welcome, Turtle.

With a name like Turtle, you sound like you may be "too slow" yourself

Yea LB, sometimes I'm just too slow.

Looks like I missed all the fun today, oh well.

Getting my internet stick tomorrow, now I can trade when I'm out of the office.

Got that 100 monthly MA sitting at 1.3383. Can she close above by the end of the week????

Would love to see a retrace back to the 1.3280 - 1.3300 area.

HOLLA

Morning all (or night for turtle)

Im going to think about longs around 332x dont fancy trying my luck on shorts just now might see how things are around 335x for a possible short, both sides it depends when / how we get there.

Have a great one guys!

Agreed mate, looking at that daily close on the Euro yesterday, i'd be looking for a long position at some point this morning.

Morning all, agreed about the longs- I'd prefer a healthy retrace, but am not sure we'll get it today. 1hr chart- trendline resistance is now support

335x working so far lets see how many bears come out of hibernation.

Not many at all! Too high for me to buy up here, also looking left at h4 we could get some resistance between here and 400.

I think we may see some selling now. That last push up by the bulls looks to be exhausted- noticeably weaker on cable where she couldn't close above the previous high. I'm looking for shorts here and need a retrace to the trendline before I'd consider a long.

The hourly closing soon may give some direction

Lol, I didn't even trade EU in the end but took a short on AU off the awesome pivot line. I'll try and chuck a chart up later but really busy right now. (warning, future post may contain bit of VSA.....)

Looking at EU, I can see two reasonable entry points for that move up...

Interested to see that mate, I had an order at 3325 for the long on EU but didn't want to chase it after it missed by 2 ticks. What time frame was your AU trade? I don't trade that pair really but it looks pretty good

AU is one of my favourite pairs, tends to be less choppy than EU/GU.

The level was drawn off the H1 chart and the entry was scaled down to the M5 chart. I may show the H1 chart but poss not the M5 chart as I don't really want to muddy this thread with VSA stuff. 70-80% of my trading in the EO way but the 20-30% VSA (inc supply and demand) sometimes makes it awkward to stay "on message" here.
