Anyways here you go.....
heres my chart on weekly if we plot fib you can see if fib wise 61.8 is already being tested at 1.5905, if we close today above it 72.8% which is 1.6075 on charts, and i expect a wicky reaction as we approach 1.6075, possibly a 20-30 pips wick up on a daily before a reversal, it always happens that way.... and i would bet that the wick would hit the Weekly 200 EMA of which right now its at 1.6195 but by the time we test 72.8% itll probably catch up down around 1.6100-1.6120
Also note the top right corner... looking very...
55 ema monthly in an interesting spot also after weekly break through...
Come with me if you want to live....

This looks to me like a stop hunt for stops above 5900 level. Also, closed below 61.8% Fib level and rising wedge.

1.2562 first stop
second 1.2540 and last one 1.2515

but we might go as low as 1.2482

it depends how asia behaves

yes true did not close above that fib, but overall has a strong bullish tone.
how much supply is there at these levels? we can't know but for what i see, previous touch near 5910-5900-5915, in few hours we were some 40 to 60 pips lower.
now price penetrated this level and still not coming down even if we came from 5830.

all this to say:
not exactly the kind of scenario where i look for a short.... if will be a short, will be better seen later or tomorrow.
just my opinion

anyway this move today has been very strong and highly un-expected IMO.
euro was quite better indeed i luckly was long in EU EJ and other Euro cross.
but really GU i was waiting to be long 30-50 pips lower near 5800 or even 5780-90.

does this mean that will go there?
maybe, problem is to understand when!

and finally... a champagne bottle for the Echf closing candle above 2030 after 5 months.

if the thing starts to go up, first target will be 1.24 soon.

good luck

what about a possible green in usa reports tomorrow and friday?
would be quite usd bullish in my opinion, since losing confidence about more qe for a while...

could be a good trigger for shorts eu gu etc.. for next week

Hi guys,

I am thinking to go long on pound at 1.5890-1.5900 and exit at 1.6020. Risking 40pips.

Anyone else thinking long?

OK, after serious consideration, I've turned back to long @ 5908, target 100pips.

Draghi dissapoints tomorrow i think this is for sure an easy target. ECB rate cut would be the icing on the cake.

Not too likley though IMO, Draghi would rather resign than damage the Euro survival prospects. Instead everyone at the Bundesbank will resign instead. Were all gonna resign.

Like the Red Dwarf episode when everyone was dead, theyre all dead Dave.

Can you tell im tired.

also true the fact that the ecb is ready with a kind of sterilyzed bond action, not a qe but something similar. maybe they are doing this to avoid a further cut in rates which is already low enough while problems are in yields and other things.......
just an opinion.

anyway today we see fireworks durin ny session, full of very important data coming from europe, uk, usa all in few minutes.

morning

Draghi already made his plan heard yesterday.market more or less already priced in.

but it means nothing for now to buy bonds if Spain and Italy did not ask for it.
In fact,spaniards just said they are doing fine and there is growth perspective.

so if EU will rally today as banks will spark the plug it normally should last to 1.27XX area and later to come down.

this is what I try to say about the trend next week...there might not be a trend at all.

USA good data ?not so sure about it.I think all this numbers are strictly correlated one to another in order to inflict maximum lose to the retailers and corporations for the bennefit of banks.

meaning.....the USA results are known already and they expect us to belive they will be good so we sell but they put bad ones so they eat SL's and by the time all traders say ''let's go with the crowd'' and turn long on bad USA data there is a quick turn and no QE no nothing.

USA might be hit by a safe heaven madness soon....and all pairs will drop

for today....5825 is in my charts but I do not bet on it as we have sh**** loads of news on it.

p.s. Draghi will never ever ever dissapoint or resign
first he is politician and second he is italian capisci

Absolutely, agree!!!!, so we must be smart to be part of elite 3-5% winner..... must think as the bank not the retailer crowd...
