{quote} I shorted CADJPY in the morning but closed it after a drop. The only tradable currency today was pound (buy). I am not sure how much more strength they have.
Even pound is strengthened due to EG. Thus the low range.

{quote} funny thing is...100p from here is actually feasible. this EUR/USD is real funny sometimes. there's probably enough short volume at spread out intervals that just the incremental covering would move this to 1.0820
Yup, that kind of moves are the best, I mean...come on...the whole world is short...

Was reading here and was going to post how dangerously close to daily mp USDX was trading and the second I went to print the chart, the bugger spiked up big time, cost me 12p on releasing the long a second too late but made up for it with a quick short.

Lesson: Stinky PA is signal for counter price action.

Let's see if we have a party at GU too? Some longer term trades here, aiming for 1.49-.

For EU will consider longing around there depending on interaction on 1-5m.

This move has convinced me, especially in this environment, to track the USDX side and side with EURUSD, bar by bar, divergence by divergence

Distance from daily midpoint of USDX and EURUSD one bar prior to drop...RED line is daily mp. Although the relative distances were opposite, this kind of PA occurred before the 100+p drop a few days ago, where one was trading near mp and the other was several pips away...with opposing PA, normally they trade conversely...I had unconsciously shorted it then, this time I was one minute late to pick up on the cues...but managed to sneak a short in mid move mid bar...

a few min before, USJP was acting strange too like it didn't know wtf it wanted to do...

The market ALWAYS gives clues before quick violent moves

Think you should check 4hr pivots too.

That was a NEWS type reaction, although not huge, the only thing I could find was these 3 min before....

US The Retail Economist/Goldman Sachs Chain Store Sales +3.2% On Year

US The Retail Economist/Goldman Sachs Chain Store Sales +2.0% In Nov 7 Wk

this could be a prelude to more dollar strength

anyone have any more info regarding this?

Seasonal Sales started around November first. The first to benefit are upscale chains due to the clientele. I know I've just about finished all my Christmas shopping. Women's clothing and larger scale durable goods are the first sections to benefit. Stores are also hiring seasonal help and have been since the first of the month. You also have a jump in retail the week before Halloween. You'd be amazed at how many people of all ages dress up for costume parties.
