True.Its very possible that Morning employment numbers could be green hence end of bull drive.Having that scenario happen which I think very likely I am buffled why so many here keep mentioning "its a bull" and all that shit.
Perhaps we should consider that every trend ends at some point!One only needs to look at last 5yrs to see it.

That's true.
The Gov/Institution market will ALWAYS work the otherside of what the majority is betting on. That's the only way THEY win. In a capital market, there must be more losers than winners.
So since SSI is still majority short, it will continue to bull run until more than 50% of the shorts go bust before it reverses and goes into a bear- which wipes are majority of the longs.

{quote} One thing I have learned over the years is that major market players will always try to move the market in the direction where they are more likely to find stop loss orders. If the majority of retail traders are short, then obviously any major player who tries to influence the short term direction is going to buy. So, yes you may have a point. However, we as traders need to pretend we are playing chess, not checkers, and as such we have to look beyond the short term market moves by major players. Instead we need to follow capital flows in...

above is just false statement.


This is becoming a legendary myth.There is no statistical evidence retail positions (6% of the market) dictate price movement. perhaps short volatility bursts but not sustained long drive.Majority of retail traders have been short on Yen and guess what price has been going on retail way for 12months!
Price largely moves on fundamentals irregardless of retail traders.

Just as a curiosity roll back your weekly charts and view what has happened in the month of January for the last 6 years running.

a mini broadening top forming and positive slope.

{quote} no offense but you got future seemed all mapped out. nothing worse then writing fiction and believing it as reality. Obvious fact is big guns are not really pushing up the price.There is no real bull momentum.Since Monday to Thurs we got 70 pips hardly a sign for bull fireworks to come.
I only have probabilities mapped out Davit. There is no need to shoot me over it. You're convinced the market is going down and I'm not convinced of anything... just simply following the higher probability.
Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it

Also curious with a small buy trade on the Euro off support looking to retest that broken ascending TL.
I try not to trade this pair but temptation gets the better of me sometimes.

Using Tight stop.

With US banks via our "trusted friends" (efx news) calling short on this pair, I couldn't help myself

Off to dinner, enjoy folks
