For now we have our offer at the 50% fib of the decline from the Feb high - at 1.323. We will lower our offer should there be further bearish evidence - a close below the 200 day MA would provide that evidence.

With the Eurozone current account exceeding expectations I think the pair is bullish at least in the interim. this despite the negative german PPI data earlier in the day which had little effect on the up trend.

I haven't really looked at it in detail (validity in this case), but the simple answer is when the neckline has been broken and retested (rejected).

looking at the levels can we say that when it breaks the level of 3000 it broke the neckline . I just want to confirm i am right or wrong .

SHORT 1.3067

Consolidates below yday's top and recovery action is limited for now. That said bearish momentum has waned so caution advised. Short trades established in Asia targeting 1.2750 lows. We have lowered the stop to the key 50% fibo to reduce risk on the trade. Day indicators show room to fall.

What a woman! How nice. I come back from an IT meeting and I see Ms Market greeting me at the door with +26 (risky short at that time @75) pips and growing (by the looks of the 5&15 SMA both 10M & 30M). What a woman. Glad I didnt kick her to the curb with a SL when the price went to 309x. Almost as good as Hot Mama having a dinner for me when I come over.
Hah congrats it's a win/win situation for you. I also am in IT.

Yes. 1.3 is key. Trading the daily with large stops and patience a break there could be a good trade. I am looking for a break and retest (hourly- smaller stops) of something like this:

Hello all, quick update on Euro FX futures, Dollar Index and S&P500 (no pictures sorry, but you can check the video on my blog). Euro-Dollar FX currency futures While lots of people think this is the start of a resumed move lower, I think this move lower is due to failure of a continuation higher in the lower timeframes. Scenario 1. The upmove in the Euro is still intact and the current move lower is going to be an opportunity for bulls to add to their long positions. We have support starting at the 1.3040 area and if price does not pierce the 1.30...
Hello all,
following up on my latest update on the Euro FX futures, here is a new update and chart.

http://www.forexfactory.com/attachme...1&d=1366371867



The Euro is finding support at an extension area starting at 1.3040. On a smaller timeframe (4-hour) is ha resistance starting at 1.3105. This is a box play at the moment and the two levels to monitor are: 1.3132 on the upside and 1.3000 on the downside.

The two scenarios are:

Scenario 1. Price is at the 1.3100-05 area of resistance at the moment. If the Euro is capable of climbing above the 1.3132 level the support area starting at 1.3040 that held in the last days is confirmed. In that case, even if price should come back for a re-test, that support and long participation area could hold.

Scenario 2. If the resistance at 1.3100-05 sees participation on the short side, this could help price breaking the 1.3000 level and bring price slighly lower into the next area of support and long participation starting at the 1.2980. There price could also find the retail participation buying the test of the 20-day SMA. We could see a bounce towards new highs or at least towards the next resistance area starting at 1.3240.

Let me know what you think. The related video will be on my blog in the European afternoon.

Thanks
Cheers

I have been waiting for COT timingcharts.com to update their charts to include COT Data.

Here you all go. Seeing as I love CoT data we can now analyze a bit better here

Buddy I wish I could tell you I am hoping for a push above 1.31 and that acting as support. In the interim I still remain bullish. I will do more COT analasys for everyone this weekend.

hey goods, I had too much coffee today, but my eyes still need some push to stay open, can you please open them on the COT, what are we reading there (if this is not the first time I'm seeing something like this its the second so I'm not very confident at what I can see on this graph. Also I see last COT reading from 09.04.2013, is this the last one available?)

Thanks all for the info.

BTW the market moved and the forum came to life ... nice
