Quoting PipTrapper
It might very well be another shorting opp but it's late in the day and volumes are low so in my opinion it's not a good time to be interpreting any hi/lo data or micro-patterns. However, if you want to look at something like that, you must not overlook the inverse H/S pattern on M5.

A break and close above the neckline at 1.3030 takes us up to 1.3080
Considering we already have a break and close above that level, my guess is more up.
Thanks for pointing that out...I hadn't noticed. I'm moving my stop to B/E, and I'll await further developments.

I agree, good resistance, thus selling at 1.3080-100 seems good for now. Will see tomorrow what has changed.

Good afternoon everyone

What did I miss?

Knew I should have just held those longs from 3003. but when I went to bed it was looking so heavy I just kept 1/4 of my short from 3065

one question Pip,

you have soooo many things on your charts. Just out of curiosity, how do you filter the irrelevant ? I guess it's experience ?

And you said you liked 8 EMA...what else would u consider important reaction point (on a daily chart, for example) ?

As far as MA's go ? Some say 8, some say 21, some 50, some 100...can you explain the importance of those based on your tech analysis experience ?

thank youuuu

Don't clean up my charts or you'll confuse me

I always look for confluence. The more indicators that point to a specific support/resistance/pivot, the more weight I give that specific support/resistance/pivot.

As for MAs, yes the 8 and 12 are very useful in monitoring when a wave is about to break (exhaustion point before a correction) and on larger time frames they make a great pullback indicator. The ones I see being most effective are 55, 100 and 200 ema and sma on close price. I also like the 89 smma on typical price

My strategy (besides the fundies and market psychology) is not based on any one or two of these but more so on how they come together.

Also as you can see from my charts, my favorite oscillators are the RSX and the MacD. Volume is only there for reference. High volume makes PA more reliable.

I don't expect it to go too far. Maybe 1.30 but more likely will not close below current levels. (1.3010/15 area)

However, if it does make a new low tonight, I suspect we will get some dollar dumping in Asia tonight.

Anyway, I'm nimble. I just don't make trade decisions this late in the session. Recipe for disaster (unless you're a scalper)

Failure to follow through after testing the high of the day...

My short from 1.3040 still intact. Let's see if we can make a new low today.

Hey BFSG I mentioned last night that these rallies should be shorted and a target of 130.10-15 was easily obtainable. That is how I trade for my clients and myself. I in addition I add to those wining trades as they go my way. I closed all positions and now sit on the side line for the next rally to short with discipline

Always good to hear other traders doing the same as me. Good for confidence. But this chart looks like it needs to make a test of the major trendline... or not loll.. just go straight down Euro

Although everyone wants 3080 so it probably wont make it there because of that... idk :/!

Stop to 1.3017 to lock in profits.

I agree this could potentially break up again, but we'll see.
