yea, that is the problem...they managed to get it up here not spending a dime, but now the free ride is over..if it where up to me, I'd get the longs out, get the market short, then run it up...at any rate, normally I would not give a shit, but since its a Euro cross, part of the spike will find its way over to us, so need to keep tabs on the damn thing...

talk later, PTL..
Well, if I were in position of SNB, I would actually manipulate the market both sides - I would firstly sell the hell out of it to briefly dive below 1.20 to clear all stops and wipe out current positions and then I would cover (which would raise the price a bit) and buy the second hell out of it and drive the price up to 21-22 level at least.

The problem is that in my eyes, they can´t do it cause everybody would know that and such move would harm their reputation as well...

And furthermore, they are sworn to protect 1.20 at all costs, so even if they figured they might have done it, their hands are now tied by this promise...

Tricky situation I tell you...

...And that´s not all the fun - just imagine they´d want to raise the floor up to 1.25 - in this market, they would have to push it all the way up on their own (!!!!!!), we are talking dozens yards here, bro...

They deserve everything that's coming their way for fucking with the Market. I hope they'll get crushed to pieces so nobody will do that again.

Don´t blame bankers, it´s all about politics, they are being pushed heavy into this floor from above...

Call me stupid, but I have a big buy @ 1.3050 before I fell asleep
I think I need to hold it coz the huge fall from 1.3340 needs to unload somewhere,
There is no way around it.
it HAS to go up now, in 1 hour or 12 hours or 24 hours.
Or next week!

It's that 3082 high that I'm watching.. If it takes it and it doesn't tank we might have a reversal going.. Stops were cleared below so I guess we'll see..

However I don't expect much after London, so we could also park here until TY.

That's my lower limit, that's where I will trow in the hat. (Below that I mean)
Sub 1.30 opens a total new range of trading.

I have 2973 down there, but its only good for the week..
it has to close below 2962. or we will go up. getting close then a bounce is fine.. the bounce should be shorted at weakness. for sub 2962- 400 min.. thats below 2628... and that puts the 1.xx2 back on schedule.

2620.. from there a bounce may happen. the bounce would not be out of the norm to go back to 3194, after 2620 area, even if it goes well below.

ideal would be a bounce at 2620 area. after this bounce that may last weeks or more. if we get below that low. then 1.2238.5 would be a target.. lots of resistance to stop that high bounce. i doubt 2962 as a R will allow it by then,, it would probably be a good place to short again
