No. It already broke the 10 d ATR high.
I do not like to initiate positions once that happens. I would rather wait for a pullback.

{quote} I think this move could be ending. Now the trendline in wheat seems to be reached, as well as the round number, so perhaps a bounce is to be expected... k {image}
A superoptimistic attempt of cycle projection for wheat futures. Sharp growth till ~5.7$, then choppy action reaching 6$ on ~7th of August, maximum at ~6.25$, cca 11th of August, finally a sharp drop to ~5.125$, cca 21st of August.
I am really curious to see how well this works.

Cheers,
k

{quote} Vlady@ what is the reason to short EU at 11059 exactly?
Hey TFL,

Here's my overall reasoning. I am short biased on EURUSD and the trendline breakout (even though it was a fakeout) shows the trigger that I took and why I would still take that trigger if it presents itself. Yes, the EU has been a biatch in terms of its movements - it's definitely in a holding pattern, but as long as it doesn't break 100 or 200 EMA, to me the trend is down.

In terms of 11060, that's an approximate price that satisfies the entry condition of the trendline break.
Here's a hint. I always prefer taking a short trigger when the slope of the line is exactly formed like this. The steeper the slope, the better. Ideally 45 degrees-ish. The flatter it is, the less likely I will take a trigger because the R:R diminishes.
