{quote} I agree....however, I do not see it in the charts for today.....big run up was expecting good numbers. Sort of underwhelmed with downward revision and slightly under market expectations. Also avg hourly wages was under expectations. With the U.S. Going on holidays, I see some profits booked.
Exactly, thats y i said its just a matter of time.

I wish people would stop interrupting me at work when I'm trading! LOL
When the CFO says, come into the meeting... it's pretty hard to ignore.
Anyway.... ended up losing AC -15 and EA -40 during that meeting as I set the SL beforehand.... damn, not the best of days.

But I am still loading up on UJ

I'm looking to buy, actually. New York took it back down to just above yesterday's NY open 12294.6
Yes 4H is pretty bearish. 1H is dojing though, so it's still undecided until tomorrow.... perhaps the Yanks will find something to be optimistic about prior to 4th July celebrations... am still waiting for a good setup.

I've closed my longs for now and taken the hit -40. I don't disagree with the Long bias but I need it to close above 123.25 before I join in again, as I think it will push lower to 122.50. I know that's not far off, but one thing I know about Longs is that everyone wants a good price, ie. A nice well formed bottom. Lol. Could be news driven, at that.

Youre right. You should have waited for the dust to settle. It could go lower but with a struggle. The slightest good news will send her rallying

You're right mate, no decent Long setups on the AUDUSD although I was momentarily tempted when the bottom was retested.... but alas... nada.
Am flat for now. Work is a killer.

GBPAUD looking attractive.
Have no idea on the zombie EUR so I'll leave that alone.
YEN showing strength so can't long the UJ for the moment but it may turn.

Yep, I got it wrong on AUD last week. CAD, AUD and NZD definitely the shorting currencies. JPY could be in there as well... But looking for a short setup on AUDJPY, currently trying to refill the EUR gap open.
