{quote} Can you explain your estrategy with EU LINKED WITH USDIX? Do you wait for a resistance/Ssupport at USDINX to trade EU?
Yes I prefer the USD levels way above the EU levels or EUR levels
Fine-tuning with relative strength/weakness of EUR and USD

Weak short hands cleaned in the opening range and with a very light agenda today that was pretty much it. 1.118x confirmed as a flip zone for the rest of the week and now is momentum line to 1.098x. To the other side, the breach back up of 1.120x unlocked a test of 1.128x / 1.130x intraday. Nothing to see, same levels, same trades, same all... sisse
Very basic session completed as expected after testing the never ending 1.127x and is aligning for a copy/paste session for NY. Nothing to see until the open.

I don't think anybody is saving anything. First, dollar is in the driver sit not euro (check dollar chart at these levels as was very cleared posted by US-Bear before) and second and more importanly major mid term swings are in play at these levels across main markets (RMT knocking doors)...

In simple words, is not about risk of euro going down, is about dollar exploding to the upside.

Not at the charts this morning, was sitting in my comfy seat watching the $ grow- then got a 3am alert that my "oh shit" stop had been taken for +60 pips.

Bastards.

I smell what you're stepping in already. Smallest of shorts again based on USD bear's chart and charts posted here from myself, misspips, magix, scott and your analysis etc. Not quite flying blind...

Really liking Bear's USDx charts.

This is why posting what we do plus charts in this thread is important... talk about a think-tank. Much easier to see the whole-picture as opposed to one's specific way of trading. Easy to get tunnel vision that way..

Here we go for NY. Copy/Paste session (tradable intraday) in the making after London goes home with 1.121x as a base for a new test 1.128x and if enough sellers are still trapped (hope not you Rockerzeus) a nice extension to 1.135x to clean all weak intraday hands before the european numbers tomorrow...

GL all trading or planning to trade the swing and also those trading the juicy intraday mini legs on the wide range....

6 mins until 50% of the 4 hour, hammer on last 4H - at resistance....already a LL printed with current

for those that believe in shampoo- if this isnt the making of the right shoulder...it's a pretty good fake out

Remember, it isn't shampoo until the neckline is broken..

If we close below 1236 1225in 2 hours, bears will probably visit 1140s again

Is the last 4H an inverted hammer or shooting star? I think it is a shooting star...A shooting star appears after a rally, and by itself it is usually not a major reversal signal, waiting for comfirmation. But it did close under the resistance...so more bearish.

Would like to see the last 15 min candle attack and close 1225, earlier was a typo

Obvious moves like that on the important closes are usually indicative of the future.

for example, last 4 hours have just dicked around and only tested 25 twice never closing on the hourly, but the last 5-15 minutes making a 4 hour close below it would be indicative of someone intentionally printing that pattern. A smoking gun so to speak

Watch the 15 min you'll see the fight if there is one. Doesn't mean trade it- means watch it

another would be to watch bears defend bulls for a 4 hour doji. Often those happen at the last few seconds

Perhaps I'm crazy and it's all just random.

Europe went home in a very dull session that got constrain to a tiny intraday range without properly testing neither the top 1.128x or the 1.121x bottom (by a couple of ticks in both sides) making the session pretty much irrelevant.

Now without London we can settle for the play and the roll until tomorrow european numbers.... Without further surprises, day is pretty much over in the euro with 1.120x as only level to track for the roll....

Euro aligning for a fairly bullish close before key mover and shakers for tomorrow that include super fresh and key Euro macro numbers and the second round of fresh numbers in the US.

Boards and threads are extremely calm the last 2 days pointing to imminent major action coming for this week (when retail is quiet ... ).

A good macro Euro numbers with an inline combo in the US tomorrow will put in the highs (lots of sitting ducks now there) and delay the swing play for at least one more week (it will match the expectations since last week of April that the main macro movers will come mid/late May) and will open the major exhaustion leg that can extend as high as 1.150x handle in a quick in and out to clean the board....

Any other combination will leave us in the wide chop zone intraday until further data....
