2962-2622=340
2622-340=2282=low (2284)

tl at 2415/16
other 1/4

2537
todays close 2451, below 2452 1/4 that is actually a mid 2282/2622
I'll make a note of them brother....looks like a pretty nasty two bar combo against 2496, might turn out to have been a good short here, but I'm still favoring longs me thinks...

Yeap Draghi's show today. He and the ECB have been muted in the last 4 weeks: and 800 ticks down, Spanish banks on the brink, EU meeting, G8, G7 and almost every leader in the world have "screamed" for action (reaction) to what is going but nothing ...today he must answer some question and the ECB must (re)act...

We'll see but LTRO+++ and even a rate cute is in play....

Depends. There is a couple of very decent areas with potential trades in indices (almost all european indexes show +/- the same plays) to load early before the announcement.

In the euro, it looks less tempting but a London run of stops 1.255x will clean the way to 1,267x for later. Failure to test those levels in the opening range will prolly put me on the sidelines until more FA and TA data.

eurcad short usdcad long... 0300 looks nice for later

I have a lil strat in usdcad based on the fact that there is probably only a few banks dealing that sh*t right now during london, i'll wait for the test but im still bullish, nothing changed on that view, I'm lucky I got out with a small profit on that yesterday, what a gamble.

I dont like messing around on yen at the moment. I am expecting lower UJ soon enough and im setting up to try and catch an intervention (which may turn into an epic fail) so EJ is a no go for me, if anything lil squeeze higher maybe if eurusd squeezes some more into the ECB.

the only other thing I got of my radar is 5745/49 in Gbp/Aud, test/reject for a short...Gbp/chf is looking sloppy, so its out too..

EJ longing it from 98.44 see pressure on both sides, Yen should have finally found its bottom @ 78 (major) me thinks and Eur looking for further retrace

London has been closed so take with a grain of salt. sub 2494 open should add to bearishness.
the day and London open conflict. London opened on the bull side.

nice i like shorts on both those crosses, but cable looks dangerous if a squeeze takes place on risk on... and it looks a lil risk on at the moment from what bonds/equities are saying.

i dont know, thats my half ass analysis...
