Well let's see what happened with the last 2 half figures
13000 - Bernanke dovish comments in July sends EUR squeezing from 1.2750 to 1.32 (with more than half of it happening after 445ET)
13500 - FOMC "surprises" market by not tapering on course in September
14000 - ???
Here's a mathematical fact
It will not be true that EU will be above 1.40, UJ will be above 100, and EJ will be below 140

That's why I said the clowns.These guys don't think fundamentally or logically.Its one thing to say X Y Z and because of it we will get 1.40
and Another to say "1.40 coming up he he he"
That's what you get from brainless trolls.

I agree, I think it's way too early to talk about 1.40 with especially with lingering uncertainty about the direction in equities, UJ, EURXXX, GBPXXX.
If lower risk levels are indeed in play, and they still are unless invalidated, 1.40 could take months and months and only if risk retests successfully.
EA at 1.58 and EJ at 145 couldn't take EU to 1.40 and now we are making a pass at lower risk so who is going to buy the EU this month or the next?
But that said, for now, there are still a lot of trapped shorts.

Hi Jimmy
Current PA I see it as reaction of recent drop.Its still at 38 fib, 6450 is at 50% and 65 61.8
What you think is a reversal I see it as typical harmonic pattern.

Lets look at this logically.
What was the prime reason Price reached 1.6660?
Carney's forward guidance supported by slight drop in unemployment and consumer confidence.
Now this impetus has been consumed by the market.
What is the new driving force to go 1.66 and above? Nothing really.So its easier to continue go south then north.Least path of resistance.
regards

I agree that the AB=CD would be logical next trade... The fly in the ointment (though small) is the DXY

on-going weakness or a break down in PA below the rising channel may artificially prop us Cable, Mrs Y additionally is currently dovish, the taper doesn't suggest rising US rates yet, I see the $DX as weakening.

I'm biased to the R:R and am suspicious of the fundamental drivers from the US

You guys go ahead and see how well your fundamental analysis holds up, I'll stick to reading what the market is actually doing. 1.6600 seems highly likely.

Most important thing, however, is to be flexible and ready to change view on a moments notice if market does not do what you think it should be doing. That is why posting on this site can actually hurt a trader's performance, because they make their views public and then feel the need to marry the trade.

Be careful not to confuse conviction with bravado. I seriously doubt anybody would hold on to a trade simply because of making their forecast publically available.

What happens is that the pressure to be proven right causes us to ignore emerging signs that we may be wrong. I speak from experience and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

The markets do not move in straight lines for very long. When a trader makes a bet that a market will travel a distance that might take several weeks, there will be signs along the way that can either confirm the trader's forecasted target, or signs that should force the trader to exit the trade early. When we become blind to these signs due to not only a hope for profit, but also to the embarrassment and ridicule if we re wrong, it is detrimental to our performance.

I just have a different point of view. I can't imagine any emotionally mature person feeling embarrassment or ridicule when they are wrong.

I think most traders and especially profitable traders only care about what their bank account thinks and have little regard to anything else.

And even this can cause us to be blinded, not only by public forecasts.

I'm not talking about a trader's discipline to take a loss, I'm talking about a trader's flexibility in being able to take a win or a loss early when signs appear. Signs don't exactly label themselves as "SIGNS HERE!!" so only an open-minded trader who's looking to be wrong will see all of them.
