ugh... i missed my entry. i wanted to get in earlier, closer to 104.20, but i was at work for a change. lol.

don't know what to do now but thinking about going long still at 104.62, perhaps for a quick scalp or better.

{quote} that was a slow 24hrs....re-entered longs at 104.15, will look to take profit back up to 104.60. imo price will range between these two areas until news gives it some impetus {image}
we finally reached the upside block at 104.6X. look to fill in longs for any retrace that finds base in 104.2x.
will probably scale out of longs at 104.8x - 104.9x if we break up.

yeah, me too. probably a good idea.

EDIT: maybe not. i also feel like we could bust through 105 pretty soon. i guess i'll play it by ear and see what the market tells me

Situation looks precarious to me. Could be staring at a nice short opportunity.

what's the difference in the charts? both Daily's, and they look the same to me.

i agree with you though -- partially. watching the PA now it looks like it may be time for the shorts. either that or we may stay range-bound for a while.

let's first see how 104.60 holds up because that will be key, as we cannot yet rule out the possibility of still going long.

First one is a "by the book" valid trend line.

Second one is a pending since it only has two strikes

Third is for comparsion: USD, NZD, etc, JPY pairs showing a downtrend too.

Sorry, no offense, but the three points you've made mean nothing.

I am confident it is a long, and 105 is going to break soon... and if not, this week.

104.60 seems to be holding, and there seems to be an "auto-buy" program there (ie: support).

All the indicators are pointing upwards. And more importantly... the price action.

The "selloff" you were expecting was merely a "consolidation".

And that is all bullish.

PS: And by the way, in your 1st image the TL is drawn incorrectly. The high that busts through the middle of it invalidates the TL you have drawn.

{quote} Why do you see this is a short?

Traders have not been able to close the price for this pair above this "line of resistance" for two weeks now, let alone even get any outlier buyers above it.

Doesn't mean they wont come out of the woodwork from somewhere, but the longer the situation goes on the less likely this is.

Even with that the Close remains below this "line of resistance".

Nothing is ever certain, but with each passing days closing price being below the line, the probabilty that it will continue to close below this line increases.

Dont know who said it but it rings true...

I think you mean the more likely it is, not less.

You seem to have it backwards. The longer we consolidate, the more ammo the BULLS have. Since the overall trend is bullish, a consolidation actually gives an edge to the bulls not the bears.
