You really don't want to be short just before big news when the market sentiment is up. Too risky. If you are bearish but the rest of the crowd aren't, you have all to lose if the news are slightly in favour of the crowd and you get caught by the stamped. So you get out and come back after the news if the news support your views.

Was this addressed to me?

The answer was addressed to your question but the "you" was just a generic "you". You can replace the "you" for "one" if you prefer.

I am still short with my shorts opened and in loss, but I will wait for them to complete, in the mean time I have added couple of more shorts.
This time the move up was supported by volume. I do not know if they were rumour buyers or other players, but now volume is gone.
Let us see what US is going to do to USD.

So? You could have been short from a lot higher even having earlier shorts opened. Or you were too exposed?

I'm confused now. We were just talking about re-opening short at .6115. That's pretty much before Philly Fed.

Ok, so to avoid confusion and explain what I meant to say.

Shorting at 1.6115 before the news with the market going up is way different than shorting at the same 1.6115 after the news and when the crowd has gone off already. The sentiment is up - the news will be interpreted asymmetrically. Good news, overshoot. Bad news, who cares. If you are positioned contrarian to the crowds, I don't see where is the problem with getting off stopped out at 1.6115 before the big news just to come back exactly at the same point once the news have come and the crowds haven't gone on stampede.

6140/60 is strong resistance area, would be the formation of the second shoulder and reversal for a massive bear move if rejected
