[color=#00009f][color=black]This is my last post. Time for me to move on. Its a lot more difficult saying goodbye that I envisioned. At any rate, thanks for putting up with me, thanks for the insight, and thanks for the laughs. I'll keep my PM open, which I will check from time to time if anyone wants to stay in touch. Good luck to all, trade...


Hi PTL,


noooooo, come on, get serious!!! Is not true, isn't it? At least I hope so (hope springs eternal).......


Really, that was your 23.000 posting here. That can not be all. There has to be more.......


It was/is a great pleasure to read your postings and it is hard to imagine, that another well respected poster is leaving this place.




But whatever you will do: I wish you all the best. Hoping, that you will drop in every here and there to say hello.


Kind regards,


Markus

hmm, not a lot...

if we close the month around here or lower then we got a possible bearish engulfing candle on the monthly... potentially looking to test 1.18xx to 1.20xx support...

but what the fcuk do i know g... i just play the intraday sentiment...

I have 2867.


Edit: Of course, I also have another potential ceiling at 2893 and also 3034 if price wants to be ridiculous. Given the price action the last few weeks... i'm pretty content with what I have taken out of it this month, may just call it quits for March.

obviously want to avoid a bank run before this mess gets sorted out... may already be too late... talk of 40% haircuts on deposits ain't gonna do much to rebuild confidence...

anyways, back in the moment and 200 day sma appears to be in play, capping the intraday retrace so far...

pattern is a bit confusing and already made my 1% selling the initial break down through 860 and then scalping 840 long... so may just call it a day right now...

if it can get back above this 200 sma and hold then looking at 89x as next level... cld be wrong, let's see...

btw, i have 200 day sma @875...
