Bought AU at 0.9852
Watching this one also, very nice 4H-level, looking for an entry on the 15m-TF. There're imho 2 zones to watch for a long, upperzone is a disrespected RBD-supply price could bounce here, but I think the lower zone is the zone that price is going for, the base of the bullflag, price should be able to catch enough buyers at the base-demand for another leg upwards. Good luck with your trade .

Hmm, I didn't spot it, but I prefer SD and SR. Are you in, too?
I have my order @ 0.9803.

I see it as a FTB to good confluence area - Support/TL/RN. Liquidity will dry up in couple of hours i guess and EURO2012 opening match starts soon so that order is short lived


Overall it was tough trading week for me

All the best

Possible eur scenario. Compression into demand level is unlikely to hold due to the previous activity at the demand level imo. Caution: Friday and price has already tanked some 130+ pips from start of Asian session (the latter which actually adds to the potential of a turn at this level rather than continuation).

Quiet markets @ the moment, I've only scalped UJ for some pips. I love to trade bars with a shaven top or bottom (marabozu's), these bars represents pure demand (shaven bottom) and pure supply (shaven top) and when price pulls back hereto you certainly always get the expected reaction. On UJ there were 2 opposite marabozu's in play, garanteed pips. At the moment I'am long UJ, anticipating a break above 15m-PPZ

I have that marked too and also a demand zone lower @ 0.9780 (the latter is actually my preferred setup).

Didn't see your post before posting mine, I prefer the demand zone to the SR too, but price could definitely react at the higher level though.

Ha, I like the terminology - shaven tops and bottoms!

I'm waiting for 79.55 area to short UJ.

Those shaven candles you show, mine all have wicks... BUT you clearly show strong candles coming out of periods of more compressed candles which is supply/demand.

I wouldn't be so quick to write off that compression, the way price left that demand zone last time suggests that not all demand has been consumed at that level IMO. Not something I'm trading mind - think someone turned off the market after Asia!

The lowest demand level is definitely something I'll be focussing on next week if price gets there.

The problem I have with the demand you show is that it is not strong as it looks a very sluggish move out of the level initially. The second pull back however does show strength but that could be unrelated to the previous sluggish demand level and therefore the pull-back is the latest demand level. However, that demand level is not actually that great given that price hung around this area for a while previously (the prior sluggish demand). Thats my interpretation of it. Definitely a confirmation with PA trade whatever it decides to do at this level rather than rely on the compression with the level.

Yeah I agree -the initial move away was slow which does not suggest a strong imbalance and you wouldn't have expected price to react like it did on what was essentially the FTB. Definitely one for price action...very close to shutting down for the week myself, momentum has disappeared.

Sorry, please can you tell me what is FTB and any other abreviations you use? I am part the way reading through the thread but have not come across the abreviations yet. Thanks

Yes, I'm still alive.
I moved up SL from 'SL 0 (0.9825)' to 'SL 1' a few hours ago. Missed my 'SL 1' by 1.1 pips.

Moved SL up a little bit higher so not many pips to lose now.

FTB = First Time Back.

Have added a basic list of terminology to first page of the thread.
