Convinced of the price move, I presume? My comments about what the Fed might do were purely hypothetical. But I think at the last Jackson Hole shindig with Bernanke at the helm there were some papers aired about taking care not to cause too much emerging market volatility w/Fed QE exit and eventual tightening.
Yes. I closed and reversed but I was surprised at the momentum. I tend to trade technically, break outs mostly, and the tight range leading up to the conference was a typical set up for me. However, it is always interesting to learn about fundamentals and so thank you for your input.

This morning I am seeing support for the Euro coming from the SNB, presumably. The price is wavering above the 1.2 peg but I think they are using Cad, Aud and Nzd as levers.

Thanks for reminder on SNB floor proximity. EUR/CHF is such a slow motion trade that I seldom look at it.

I'm mostly technically oriented as well, however as I mentioned before I've been burned in the past trading pairs like EUR/GBP and AUD/NZD based only on those charts w/out analyzing the crosses vs. the majors. To me, a EUR/GBP chart is more twitchy and unpredictable than a EUR/USD chart. Yet the fundamental contrast between EUR and GBP is reasonably stark IMO to expect the EUR/GBP longer term downtrend to continue. Looks like an easy 0.7900 short term, a retest of 0.7800 in a few days/weeks at most, and lower if we get a one two punch of a conciliatory Buba and more hot UK economic prints.

Well done on close and reverse - it's psychologically difficult for some to do. It's important to purge any emotional baggage (positive or negative) from closed trades quickly, and look at each new trade with fresh new eyes. The market doesn't know or care what it is doing to your individual account or your individual psyche.

Thanks. I agree. I'm still getting used to the market taking those decisions for me. I tend to use stop orders for this reason.

Short EUR/AUD looking interesting again too w/overnight surprise China stimulus goosing the AUD. Currently at support level but the market loves to break support levels.

My long term view.

We could have completed wave 2.
The red line has to be broken to invalidate count.

I'm planning to take a short at 0.79480 with a 10 pip stop.
Target 1 will be 30 pips away.

We overshot your number but I think the 09:30 might reverse this?

Last week's high here at .7950. When this goes it could open the flood gates. I wonder if people are selling roubles and buying pounds?

Looks like a leading diagonal [i] pointing to the upside. If it stays above or not too far from 61.82% area, expect good upside potential. While the invalidation point of this view is around 0.7842.
