Nice to know that the bulls have yet to post a single target here on this thread and time frame. Going long just to go long?
Are you reading my posts? You would see charts and my targets too..

When I enter, target is irrelevant to my trading style (unless I am scalping for minor pips which is rare). My 1st objective is always covering cost first (break even)

hehe. Of course it would come from you. Managing more than half a million dollars. Crazy how even knowing that isn't even useful either.

It has taken me more than 5 yrs to get there.
When someone post that they are long or short, why not place a chart with the entry? Make this forum alive. It does not matter the size, but make it more transparent than just posting, "Oh I am long or short"

This response downplays the value of my time spent on the chart being posted to share my own independent analysis.

I guess I am small compare to your position. For every 100k I need $3000 margin, so I don't do no more than 5 lots at the most

Add more as it goes up.
I am aiming 1-3 months.. for a target of 1.16-1.18 levels
And 4-5 months maybe early or later for 1.2-1.23 zone.

I think i will hold it for that long.. its very beneficial to keep things for long.. it gives you handsome amount of profits!!

Please kindly other traders who have Long or Short, share your positions screen shot.. Its good to learn and know each other.

I am a full time trader myself..

my tp is whenever i think the bull has given up or wants to take a breather and goes into conlolidation. my guess would be monday - wed rally, play up to the BOC minutes, i hope so anyway because off to japan on wednesday.

no nasty weekend gaps or bull sleeping next week please!

Why I believe the U/C will go lower before it has the chance to go higher:

My derivation of pivots are mapped from using the move up from Sept 2012 to present. What seems to have happened is that there are 2 major pivots as you can see below but the price has "shifted" upwards in a weird way. The first move up from Sept 2012 becomes the low see in April 20th 2013 (this is major pivot #1) then price pivots off of a major upward bottom trendline to begin its single strongest move to the highs we see today. There is a relief downwards to pivot off the May high which is the shift up im talking about.

Both Fib levels and the trendline are CLEARLY guiding the price action of this pair.

Anyway long story short. Is that where the market has closed off this week has a hammer which is bullish. But if Fib or the trendline is to still hold as it has since 2012 this move up needs either a fib pivot or trendline to move higher. That is why I am bearish on this pair till one of those levels hits. And yes, I am aware that past performance is not indicative of future results, but the last single move up was a very aggressive move but was nonetheless capped by the trendline since 2012. So like I said, the trendlines/geometric pattern and Fib price action that followed from 2012 have a strong influence on this pair. I would expect no different on when this pair will move up for its last move, but it needs to find a landing spot first. Its either Fib or the Trendline.

Buddy,

When you are seeing weekly chart, why are you just drawing trend lines, for few past weeks only.
Take a whole picture, Zoom out your chart further.. and draw trend line properly.

I will send you a screen shot in few minutes, it should give you a broader picture..
If this was not bullish, it would have not done a very bullish weekly hammer closing..

If you look at the major peaks...1 2 3 from the highest high to the second and the most recent...

Peak # 2 is 50% retracement of peak #1 and peak #3 is 50% of peak # 2. Thats Fib all day.

ALSO..the REASON why i dont use the LOWEST LOW from peak 3 is because the low from 9/2012 is actually when an entire move starts. That is why I go from 2012 onward in my first analysis post.

Also..looking at your charts. It doesnt address what im saying in my original analysis post. im not saying that we have seen a top. I AM SAYING THAT WE WILL SEE A SMALL MOVE DOWN BEFORE THE MOVE UP.

Mark my words, no we will not see more move down..
If more move down was in the books, it would not close the weekly candle in a good bullish nature..
Kindly check Dollar index too.. this will help you a lot..

Fair enough. Ill get back to you if I find reasonable doubt that we wont see a move to the 1.075 area. I dont want to forget to say thanks for your critique and input.
