what makes you think that?
Par for the course... big move day, followed by rangey day. Looks like we need a retest of 3020'ish area to continue up.

Sry for that. I am trying to compress all my thoughts in single post, as when try to describe reasons for my trades, it usually ends up as essay. So, whats the thinking? Thats just the way I trade. I need to digest loads of informations before I decide to trade. You can call that overanalyzing. I am simply not able to react fast enough to scalp or even hold trades for a week or so. So am catching swing moves which last for like half a year. And, well, I am going to simplify it, but I just expect FED to engage in such a massive can kicking and print...
my two cents...

qe and therefore usd strength/weakness sentiment is likely to change more often than bernanke changes his underpants over the coming year...

gl with da trade...

Yep. Now the question is when do we establish a bottom range and then test it. I hate when things run like this... although, to be fair, I did have a signal on the daily (for the retrace)... but this was way beyond expectations. Your right as well, doesn't look like much profit taking so far. I'll just be scalping until a new HL can be established and go from there.

Or who knows. In usual e/u screwiness... we may just end up completely crashing through demand when the next 'crisis' starts.

with crossing above 3080 now 3136 may be a further level up. still waiting for the bearish divergence to play out but D1 candle will produce a weak bullish Tenkan-Kijun cross with confirmation from chikou span - and thats a bullish signal
morning Ally - how are you today.

seen a moderate bullish move today with HH earlier and Res from d1 kumo arund 3136 as outlined above. EU might find support around 3105 and if we break lower at 308x.
