I "don't like" the failure to test 1.284x for a swing down. Below 1.275x in daily opens clean swept in monthly without further retrace.

Sidelines by lack of TA entry in the last move (@ken v nicely done so far) but in my books the current push down is also opening a very tradable test 1.290x on any failure to break the lows (1.283x)....

i risked 13 for 160.. hit my pending 2739 (2735 + a few) and my risk average is only 9.. for the 160

of course 2725 is sitting there. its the obvious place.. but hitting it, then 2833 puts the target above 2909... (2920 ish min)... 2909 is a half fib. on the 2011 pa. so to have 2909 as a target, 2735 needs to hold. 2909 is probably a tough r.. its the one below 2962.. so it may be the top now..

So far yes but weekly range is still virgin and a test sub 1.27xx will cancel that 1.290x "blind" entry until further PA....

Let see

its not blind. 2833 was already indicated. 2735 has it precise to target 2909.. it don't mean we hold support here. but the math adds up here. 2725 holding support just indicates 2909 will not hold R.

e/u been all down hill since london open, with no mid morning reversal as of yet, suggesting possible continuation through ny, sustained break of 2725 area, yesterday's low, could bust the barn doors wide open for a test of jan lows...
could be it now...

I'm asking myself, whether we can even go that high (2909) without any rumour-spreading...

we always can.. but that # is on the market makers chart. 2962 is also. there is a mid between them . next h closing above 2784 would help my L.

without any more seriously negative news about greece coming out in the near term, reckon we could easily do it on short squeeze and profit taking, my two cents... whether we see it before 262x is another matter..

could just be a matter of looking to risk trends for direction in the near term...

tomorrow is the day for me, depending on the result of the summit. last-minute-europe saving the world? I don't know... but without tomorrow, I don't see it leaving the range, possibly taking this opportunity to create havoc (sigh) before the real move.

lower tl has been damaged already. ah, I see, gator's leaned back and closed his eyes.
