I'm not a fibo fan, prefer good ranges and bounces between them.
This is how I see the last couple days in terms of ranges with fibo overlay.
735 is critical for both sides - 50% of the whole range and 50% fibo.

EU is in a range, taking a trade now is a bit like a coin toss. I'm looking at USDCHF now, there's a fantastic pin there on H4 from 020-080 - 50% is around 050 (shorted at 052 for a possible drop). They just bounced off that 50%. Now we all know they correlate so...if that pin's gonna work...USDCHF drop, EU pop.
The only downside of that pin is that it's in consolidation so if it's gonna reverse I'll close it. It's worth a shot tho.

Yeah, just before I got stopped out I realized what a shitty and stupid entry that was. Kinda random coin tossish...if I would have looked at this first...same charts...I would see that we ARE getting ready for a POP...time for sleep now.

After a moment of hesitation I entered long EU above 720 but closed it after they reached full swing 08>38.
Flat EU now.

Should've stick to the plan EU pop USDCHF drop. had to rebuy EU a bit higher, still keeping USDCHF short tho.

Edit, reached a level above OR, shorted there for a few.

This is why most data is irrelevant. USDCHF gave the signal today.

Edit - 120 from the bottom?, please, I'm short again!

Actually the data points the market but the problem i think is that they fake data in order to move the market where they need it,it's obvious that dollar will loose strengh as its unemployment claims are still same and no change. Of course real numbers i guess are far more worst, but still i am surprised that they didn't fake it as its progressin in good

It is a good moment to enter Sell in USD/CAD as its in high state. 1.33 is a fat resistance, not easy to pass

To me the outlook where MMs want to push the price is more important so basically, the chart itself only. The data is just the noise. If they want to push i.e. UP then bad data will be used for stop hunting and good will just drive it more towards the desired direction.
