i do figure 2609.9 min.. but i dont know what the min is. i thought 2624 is a r. but i am getting some adam/e saying the 50ties. the gartly has 2607 as the top edge of the box. when at or above 2609 look for weakness. its the last one from the beginning. so the top should be close/ or at least 300 pips worth of pullback in norm times
that's what I'm looking at, up until 2642/47. with the upcoming ecb-action, I just don't know whether to seek the euro higher or lower in the medium term. much talk, no action 'til September.

my outlook is foggy...

2609 and ea 2140 should be about the same time. testing 2622/24 is norm.. even on a bigger chart 27xx.. near the 120 pips for a day. we may have to wait some more. the last few moves this year have 2666/67 as a bounce. the lower 2356 and a larger for 900

NOAA discussion:
Center fixes from the aircraft indicate that Isaac has been wobbling
in a general northwestward motion of 310/09 kt. There remains no
significant change to the previous forecast track or reasoning.
Isaac is forecast to move into a weakness in the subtropical ridge
near the north-central Gulf Coast over the next 24-36 hours...
accompanied by a gradual decrease in the forward speed. As the
ridge builds back in to the north of the cyclone...Isaac is
expected to turn a little more toward the west-northwest before it
turns northward on day 4...and moves northeastward into the Ohio
Valley region on day 5. The official forecast track has been nudged
a little to the left of the previous advisory track

Yeah, but fairly low intensity and wind speed.

Mostly, it looks like the job of this storm is put the shorts in place in the grain markets. Not because the rain is going to really do any good for the crops at this point, but because, as we all know, thanks to the markets being de-facto manipulated by the Central Banks, all prices are set by morons.
