Lastly, for what its worth, it looks like at least on the lower time frame OBV that there is a good deal of buying at the current level with a view back to 108.80. Of course with news tomorrow that tid bit probably means next to nothing. But in my experience the 15 minute OBV for whatever reason can be a good leading indicator for this pair. I would not be suprised at all if in the coming days 108.8 was hit again and beyond.

In just an hour that was a good 30+ pip move. Looks like the buying there was real. At least for now.

Speculative play on-going, not much impact news.

Maybe good to stay away till NFP for a clearer direction.......

Gotta say I feel like the luckiest bastard alive, got frustrated by this pair yesterday n basicly decided to buy @ 108.05, without any near support around, basing my decision only on the fact that price hit the round no of 108.00 n the fact that nxt day is nfp n market may start pricing in a positive nfp. I had moved my sl to 108.30 when price was at 108.43, just b4 I went to bed, even had to take some drugs so I could sleep off n not have to wakeup @ night to check my trade. So finally I wake, n price is exactly @ 108.80, though Asia had done a high of 108,92, moved my sl to 108.65, locking in 60 pips. Damn I feel so lucky, didn't expect Asia would take it this high, would love to see 109.10 b4 London opens.

I took 30 pips earlier and have brought my stop up tight because of a) NFP, b) resistance, C) end of the week and I don't trade NFP. D) Beer o'clock.

the momentum of shorting is not over, only a day has passed, look at your chart.

The pair confirmed a weak closing well below the low of the previous session but also well below the support of the negative outside day at 108,75 suggesting further downside risk! the closing was however still above the s/t support line! The indicators of the daily chart are however below the line as well as those of the 4h one suggesting further weakness. Only the indicators of the hourly chart turned above the line, but after having formed bullish divergences. The move up since the low at 108,00 is therefore corrective and a selling opportunity. We suggest waiting for a little higher levels above 109 to go short for a drop below 108!!
