contrarian factor comes into play a heck of a lot more in equities imo...

I'm just getting going with this bastard - for me it looks like it will be safer and easier to check opening range , then scalp those levels - time will tell

long the eurotrash for a chance at 3006, risking 2874ish...if we start closing under 2892, might look for a play towards 2778..
flat those longs, might look for some shorts for 2778/2736, or might do nothing..

4:06 AM Spain is prepared to request an EU bailout as soon as this weekend, but Germany wants Madrid to wait because of political considerations, especially so soon after the Bundestag authorized the €100B rescue of Spanish banks, Reuters reports. The countries have played down the speculation. Brussels wants Spain to apply for aid and won't impose conditions harsher than the reforms the country has already announced.

Morning is over with with this H1 close. European stocks testing fresh Resistances in light opening session and they wont break up without some fuel (FA). Bund and Gold in wide intraday chop zone and they wont go anywhere this morning...

Euro also stuck in daily consolidation range with intraday (H4 rejection of swing high) diverging from daily (reversal in play) meaning just noise too.. minutes left without reports today with ECB/NFP combo week so not expecting much ....

Espana is a done deal, I am assuming they are just waiting for the ECB conference. Maybe a further rate cut? to add some fuel and to offset the knee jerk reaction after Spain announcement? ...we 'll see in the next days but for now just chop across the board in the making....

Thanks ...I enjoyed the break ...

Yeap yesterday was a nasty roll that put intraday opposite to daily making the chop of the last hours .....Intraday needs to realign with daily as you said, a move (or trap) outside the range will be more than enough to put everything back in order ....

Here we go for an attempt to the highs... let see
