Frustrated when this happens.... I get stopped out (cos I went tight on stops).... then this happens.

Don't know what caused that news spike on NZDUSD.... could be dollar related. Trying to find out.

Hehe... you're right!

I have however, seen some headlines - it's Dollar. So I have closed the USDSGD longs for -20. Peanuts compared to possible volatility.

dollar depreciation does not always mean stocks will go up, sometimes stocks also fall altogather ...

Absolutely! You're right... I'm not married to the idea, just a default observation but I'm definitely flexible. Clearly something is going on and the markets can change behaviour at any time.

To me, it looks like EUR has finally woken up and Longs are favoured, based on Monthly view. I don't know who will be on the receiving end of this - even though USD is the logical currency, I think there will be new surprises this Fall.

yes, whatever happens, we need to keep cool and be flexible. i think i wrote here (maybe a week or 2 weeks ago) about things changing. so the days have come

Closed. USDSGD just closed below the Trendline Breakout invalidating the signal.
Out -24
