there is bullish harmonic pattern at 15M, yes it could be a buy.
but my view is still bearish, so seek to short when it gets higher.

Let her figure herself out before jumping in of course.
2 scenarios can play out .

1st one is that wave 2 is incomplete in it's correction and is looking for a c wave down to 118.15 which is also weekly support 2 and 50% retracement of the 1st wave up. trend will hopefully resume up again after the correction.
chart attached.

2nd one being that 2nd wave correction is complete and this correction is a minor 2nd wave which is poised to touch weekly support 1 at 119.31 and is also a 76.4 retracement of minor wave 1 and then trend hopefully resumes up again. On H4 this point is also 89 sma.
chart attached.

Lets see which one plays out. In any case i am about 70+ pips in the red without a SL . Watching the movement every 30 minutes ... will have to put an SL before going to bed.

Where you based?

Are you gonna let yourself draw down until it reaches that point though?

I got stopped out at 119.95. Went short made some pips, then attempted to trade long on that percieved pinbar(h1) but stopped out again.

Now not trading it at all.

Looking at Oil dropping, EU and GU look like they need a bounce. So kind of hesitant to put in long on UJ at the minute. It breaks 118.85 and I will change my bias to short.

Hello stringfx,
I hope you had a good holiday season.

What about this scenario (110.5), improbable?

I am based in the middle-east. Heard of Dubai?

I usually trade the 4 hr and daily charts (only swing), so my SL is normally high, but if it breaks the current low, i will get out of this trade. SL is put now 3 pips below the current low. Yes, you r are right about oil. I thought 52.77 will seal it for sometime .. but now it's trading 200+pips below that target.

Let's see how it goes... good luck!

everything is probable my dear. The market is vicious. It's out to bite every retailers bum. The index is overbought to the core but it keeps going higher. Now it's in a state that, it has to cover some more distance upward. (EW view)

Your chart could be the right one if the previous high is not taken out, so let's wait out and see which direction UJ is heading. If it breaks 115.54 which is the low, then UJ is heading into an abyss but my strong feeling is that we will see 127 before 115 (based on dollar strength).

Good luck on your trades.

Looking at my chart I believe the 119.00 level looks like a very interesting level to long from for several reasons.................. first the bottom Bollinger band is around it and second the 200 MA and third the 119.00 level has had a lot of reactions to it in the past.

US10y yields close to <2 and UJ is on steroids ?? someone's on the wrong foot..or the rules of the game are changed? maybe, BoJ stimulus distorted the markets but..there's to much divergence here. already in sell .

Scenario 1 would be preferred but not looking like it.
