Market makers and yea... Like was saying earlier, it is still too early to call Monthly TF a piercing pattern line for now... still need to see how the candle closes end of month.

looks like USD may be gaining strength due to risk off and also oncoming FOMC minutes and Yellen's testimony up later this month. Then again, we gotta be careful of the way price moves...

Good charts elbert ... . I'm also working off the daily, where the downtrend appears intact ... .

That being said, I'm going to peel off my most at risk leg (1/3rd of my position) at 1.5274 and let the other two thirds ride, since they were entries taken more toward the top of the trajectory .... .

Also, don't want to get caught in the short squeeze nonsense we had last week (seems like a distant memory), so keeping an eye on CCI overbought/oversold ... .

The market is just taking out the weak stops below and in the process convincing many others to go short. If you went short at the top, congratulations, but you better take profits soon because this will be making new highs. Let's see where we are by the end of the month.

The fact that we are taking out any weak stops now, instead of after reaching a higher level (1.5600) first, tells me that we won't be back here once it resumes heading higher.

I'm also thinking "news"/bull trap ... . We're at the level of the news release/breakout last Thursday, so there could be SL's at or around this level that will trigger, causing a short-term cascade lower, although a couple of those hourly wicks may have done the trick already:

Damn right they are taking bulls' stops. They aren't allowed to get on this train so easily! And look at this move down we've had over the last couple days, it has been way too easy on the bears.

due to high risk events up ahead, maybe bulls are squaring positions to mitigate risk? meanwhile dollar and yen acts like a safe haven if oil drops. i think its related to oil... showing signs of topping.

I guess I would tend to agree with that ... . If I were a market maker with large amounts of cash, I might take out some bulls' SL's (assuming the positions weren't massive) to drive the price down so that I could get in at the price I wanted, a not uncommon practice in equities where you can look at order flow ... .

Right now though, it appears to be struggling to stay above yesterday's low ... .

thats what i was saying earlier too... why would they wanna long near resistance... lol. they should ideally drive price down further and run go for a nice run up if its a bull run. on other hand, bears want a close below .5338 too... so there is agreement on both side - price has to go down first.

ps: this could also be related to Oil as suggested by some folks

Thanks for the reminder ... . Forgot to check my oil prices. I don't trade oil, but prices seem to ripple through the market one way or the other ... . Undergoing a slight correction:

Generally translates into a bit of dollar weakness ... .
