Wow, risk on, AUD/USD breaking up.... I wonder if the New Moon today will cap it just like it did on the QE4 announcement at 1.0600 on 14th Sept....

price compression into a supply zone which was tested back in early 2012 ....

Shahab, is this currently on your radar for a short? Is there any guidance we can get from any of COT reports to support our decision?
Although you already know the answer to your question, I'll give you some insights. I explained before this type of busted patterns. Here is what I posted before for EJ, but I reaped it again as it is the same pattern.
For GJ the COT clearly supports long GJ. It's very simple: UJ is COT net long, GU is COT net long> GJ COT net long*2

Hi guys, my take on COT is that the JPY positioning is very heavily bullish (yet to be reflected in price) and the GBP is very bearish (reflected across some cross pairs). This pair is on my list for a short but as usual MUST wait for the price breakdown before getting involved.

Due to the high levels of Long holdings by the Commercials and the opposing massive short holdings by the NonComms (Funds and Specs) I would struggle to have a bullish bias on this pair even if we get above the 133.5 area.

Hope to hear Shahab's...
Wrong interpretation, look at my previous post.

Are we heading to a wide H&S ? on EU, I guess we will have to wait and see.
I do not call that a H&Sh.

Hi Tradoholic,
Nice going on EJ. I am a bit skeptical if it continues to fall further, let's see how it plays. As for AU, I'm more bullish technically, for now holding longs.
AU: long trade

I'm waiting for the price to reach monthly R1 1.31211 which is about the previous swing high (also your TP). However, I'm not sure if it comes down from there... this bull is quite strong that may continue until the US fiscal cliff settles.
Your thoughts?
Thank you!
BTW, I chickened out @ 1.300, but no regret. It was a good ride of 100 pips in 36 hrs!

Wrong interpretation, look at my previous post.
Thanks for your comments, perhaps my very bearish is not correct, looking at your GBP/USD COT chart I see a relatively high Net position by the NonComms which is obviously currently bullish as they are the 'trend followers'.
However, their position is at somewhat of a recent extreme so there is surely a bearish warning here? Looking at the COT chart again every time the NonComms got very long a pullback or reversal ensued. There is no price action to suggest we are there yet BUT surely its a warning?
Appreciate your further comment.
Thanks
Mike

Long NZDUSD earler @.8368 with 20 pips stop..

H1 keep backing off from weekly R1.. closed for a few beers.. will wait for retrace
Bullish B/O trade closed for peanuts.. in hindsight anticipation of reversal from bearish wedge divergence..
I think the lesson here is never anticipate divergence against minor resist under prevailing immediate strong bullish bias.. also, the market play tricks with our mind if we focus our eyes on those wriggly lines moving across the screen..

Price is now up against .8450.. a major confluence zone plus weekly & monthly R2 with another wedge & bearish divergence.. may be worth a short with weak PA for a S/T correction down to .8300..

Hi there active contributors!


Im just wondering if this is a good source of COT data.

http://cotbase.com/

It seems like a pretty easy to understand, clear and concise site? Any thoughts from the more experienced COT users is appreciated. A fool and his money is soon parted, which could be me.

Keep up the excellent work it is well appreciated.

Will go short when it breaks UTL and 1.0500 (at least 1H bar close).

Your thoughts?

I don't know how you do it, it must be some kind of magic, cause i never thought that the EU will follow through to the Exact top to form a double top, Anyway Bravo even if you don't need it.

I know JPY's value is declining according to COT, but I'm thinking going short CADJPY @ 85.00... (I'm expecting it to retest 85.00 and gets rejected)
