2510 previous sup level in the way

not confident at this stage to buy until a confirmed break

if futures roll over it may drag price down

nothing to trade so far

Back from long weekend and as expected without London on Monday back to Friday.

Summer session ending this week. Jackson will open the new season (and what a combo we have in the next weeks: FED, ECB, China, EZ part MCXSVIIIII finale and NFP) with monthly roll and US on Holiday on Monday.

....so nothing new across the board for trading. Equities sitting at yearly highs, oil a step away from the 100s (but is getting a push from external factors [Guld of Mexico hurricane alert]).

Gold on a break of the range confirmed on daily and weekly but sadly the 5 month range in also on monthly so will need another week to have (or not) a mid term trend.

The most important move last week was Euro breaking to HH (still LL) in weekly for the first time since February 2012. Daily and H4 look very tired [both still pointing up] and they are coming from a fresh rejection of h4 lows with today's Frank/London open. Sidelines here until further info.

Wow... Regarding the conversation that got deleted I can only said: WTF? .....LOL.

Seriously, I agree 100% with OQ on the first part. On the second, I think I know who did it and why...it just a troll so not worth any more time.

I don't really care if something I write gets deleted. I'll continue to write what I think. If somebody thinks it's inappropriate, then fine: delete it.

They're in business to get new guys to click on the bucket shops' ads, and if they think some position might effect that, then their interest is served by removing that position.
In any case, thank you all for those very kind posts in the last few pages. Now let's get back to business.

Still have 2 different levels on charts

Past few days had no reliable levels to carry forward

Looking to grab a risky short on failure at 2555 level
