Beware mate. If it gets to 11.900 in your chart, there's no point of assuming it's gonna turn. It'd be fighting the force in control. GL anyway

{quote} Sadly the signals are on one chart, I'm just changing the time frames, so can't avoid the schizofrenie status. On the other chart (built M.A.): Daily - supports the up trend - only 1.11900 is the resistance. H1 and under - also supports the up trend H4 - rather supports the down move, but real resistance currently is at 1.12300-400.
Signals:
Weekly (not yet confirmed - just shows overreacted market to the downside)/Daily/H4/H1 Buy signal - temporary(?) bottom can be set in my opinion.

Important fibo-related M.A. resistances:
~ 1.12000 on H4
~ 1.10000 on Daily (moved from 1.11900)
1.10900 on Weekly

Last important present of the bulls on my signal chart was at 2015.05.22. 16:00 (GMT +02:00 hour) - price was at 1.10789. Since that H4 closed the pair is loaded with huge short, while bulls were faded away.
Time will tell.

Slightly hawkish but nothing new / watch out for killing the move on the 1.09xx handle sisse
...and everybody back to business after a long weekend. As expected since Friday close, euro killed quickly the 1.09xx handle. Nothing to see until US reports that will open , what I expect a very busy and key period for the mid term (and for the rest of the year !!!).

Key technical M/W closes coming with more important than usual US GDP numbers and then the triple whammy (ECB/NFP/FED) combo that will definitely settle the deal for the mid term swings (Rates Mode Trading on short term sight now) across the board.

On top and in the background, we have the never ending noise from Greece with a new chance for defaulting in the next few weeks with a new repayment deadlines that need to be tracked closely, however the default play still has priority for later in the summer when the big repayments are due with no liquidity whatsoever in the public accounts ....

Lots of action expected and officially we are entering in complex trading environment until the mid term waves trigger ....

GL all the next few weeks ...

Here we go for the start of the week. Reports with NY opening in the middle. Tracking Consumer Confidence is the one with more weight for today for the double micro play.

Tiny and late ranges in play so no much room for anything, 1.193x for the direct play 1.1086x with inline or better than expected combo. Only a massive undershoot in CC will trigger profit taking to 1.103x. All other combinations is choppy zigzag 1.097x -> 1.086x.

Lets start the week...gl all

And done. Quick and easy micro play on reports.... taking final micro target a few tick above 1.086x and pretty much that was it for the day after London goes home if we don't break down....

Thank you Sisse for the updates!

As I have my CFA exam next Saturday, I will take a break from the market.

I might be wrong and not too experienced with the market, but I still see high potential of the pair going up to 1.15/1.16/1.18 handle just before/during the summer holiday season.

I am neutral and will be sideline for two weeks, the addiction is hunting me, hehe...

But best of luck to all of you!!!

{quote} Do you consider that as a valid setup, the one targeting 1.06561 ?
No, not according to the 'orthodox mofo trading' as I understand it.
But I'm sort of a 'reform' mofu trader.

So when I see a certain type of activity in a fib (for example a series of divergences at the top, and then a lower low with a lot of momentum, and then a lower high that can't even make it to 50 and a break the first lower low also with momentum, then I just check to see if PA is respecting the fib lines in that fib and if the 150 is targeting a reasonable place (for example a place where a breakout needs a retest).

In my experience when it breaks that first lower low with all those conditions it's good for at least the 150 mofo. (I'm a short term scalper, remember so I'm just looking to sell tops/tap backs while it does that, and I don't sell them blind - I wait for a PA signal).

For some reason, this seems to work better for a down fib setup with the trend in a downtrend, than vice versa. I can never understand why (since EURUSD is a two-sided instrument and when you buy one you sell the other) but for some reason PA at tops is different than PA at bottoms. A lot of time at tops you get so much momentum that you never get that retrace to the 50 mofo. If it's in down fib, in a downtrend I don't care because that tells me something ( i.e there's enough momentum to scalp the tops down to 150), while in an upward fib, in my experience you're better off waiting for the 50 mofo or better. Bottoms seem to take longer to form/have different structure than tops. Maybe its because of the correlations/risk on-risk off activity.

well done. I was flat from 1.100 (friday's close), but i am actually expecting a correction higher until 1.1080 and maybe then some..it has been a really good week for the dollar.

You are not off the mark with that view. A bad GDP / NFP combo will put us back in the 1.14xx handle in no time. No hikes and kicking the can to next year in the next Fomc is clean sweep to 1.18xx non stop...so

But more important than that best of luck with the exam.

As expected all day long. 1.086x held the low and is nothing to see until the European opening....

Interesting results for the Quarterly candles. Look where it bounced. Right on at 25% of last Q. Thanks, Sisi, for this idea of looking at things from a quarterly view!
