Not sure there is much money in market atm. "Feels" like low liquidity before FOMC creating a playground for the Money. It may eventually grab a direction but there seems to be plenty of pain to hand out first. Currently long EJ but playing it tight and if it's taken will step aside.
(Bloomberg) -- Foreign-exchange trading declined around the world in April amid speculation the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates only gradually.
Daily trading in the U.K., the largest currency market, fell 8 percent to average $2.5 trillion, down from October’s record of $2.7 trillion, according to a Monday statement from the Bank of England’s Foreign Exchange Joint Standing Committee. In the U.S., volumes dropped about 20 percent from last October to $881 billion, the Foreign Exchange Committee, which is sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, said on its website.
“You saw monetary policy stagnation in all the major central banks at that period in time,” said Thomas Averill, a managing director in Sydney at Rochford Capital, a currency and rates risk-management company.
While Fed Chair Janet Yellen only told the Senate Banking Committee in July that she preferred a gradual path to higher U.S. rates, investors have speculated for months that the pace of policy tightening will be dependent on an improvement in the economy. The European Central Bank’s quantitative-easing program was well flagged, while the Bank of Japan has stood pat on policy for months, meaning fewer opportunities for traders to make money from currency price swings.
The reports are based on surveys of financial institutions that participate in the currency markets. The committees collaborate with each other to release their surveys on the same day, according to the U.S. group, which was formed in 1978.

Lol on 4 hour it seems good t me to make new highs on lower TF shorts might be more suitable would have been much better trading GBP today instead.

{quote} yes, I have that doubt also...for that reason I would trade if I had margin adding longs lots... a large retrace can happen (even more in 4h chart you can count 1-2-3-4-5 waves) but for preety sure after that retrace we will assist a huge fast climb up...I was watching the move on 20th April 2015, and its similar to this(although the retrace from the fall was only 62%, on nowadays case was 78%), with 1-2-3-4-5 correction, retrace to 62% fibo and there fly up like a rocket...I post here for you {image}
For me it was a perfect 50% retrace (April) I don't count from top or bottom, rather S above or R below. Rounding up, next 300 below you have 0500, full swing - 300 to 800, and 50% to 650. Full mid swings on EU are always 300p +- 30-50p, depending on SR range.

Thanks for the post it's an interesting read, I'm sure I read another similar article recently too.

After being in this game for a while I think I sense low liquidity (though could be imagining it too not 100% ). When liquidity is flowing however, it is a real thrill to trade as there aren't many what if's or maybes. Low liquidity imo creates uncertainty in the ST PA enabling the money to move it that little extra to snatch away stops without too much risk, on the other hand high volume creates an environment where they know they can get their fingers burnt if they try to move the market.

Not sure on the truth of it but I am getting more and more shy to trade in low liquidity as time goes on.
As the lights go by so too do the shadows move

seems like a typical squeeze play .

Phase a)
High). 1.113
Support at 1.1085
Low). 1.1022


Phase b).
High). 1.1085
Support at 1.1065
Low). 1.1033


Phase c).
High). 1.107
Support?
Low).?

Seems like it will be around 1.106 where will we meet FOMC.. not a crystal ball prediction but just some observations. Keeps getting tighter.. if you ask me, High was 1.107 and we will see around 1.104 / 1.105 area before going into FOMC
There is no royal road to anything.

hehehe..I still use the old fashioned fibonacci style...sometimes I can draw it not at HIgh/low but at closes, but no more than that...let me keep updated how you´re doing with your fibo method...
I have much to backtest and trade simulate on historical database (I´m only starting on that), so I can get more and more conclusions about my method...after I can share the results, until now it´s promising and enthusiastic, and the best thing I´m finnaly getting a clear picture and strict way of trading... cheers buddy

With or without FOMC, all we need is the completion of a C wave down on 4H.. If XA = BC then it would drop to 1.0977 at least. But generally C waves are longer so I expect a lower target roughly towards 1.0950 area.. my half cents..
