Anyone shorting the test of EU daily support? I'm staying out. Still have a short running from higher up, stop at be, but I fear that volatility will wipe out the stop anyway so I'm looking for a good moment to take half of the position off.

eu has it little b/o.. on a bounce, a entry short at 1099/1124 may allow that 1019 norm in the attempt to 1035 target. atm level 1067 {image}

so now hen the price touched the mofu below the low what does that mean? and it looks that 88.2 had become resistance so are you thinking of shorting?

eu could possible drop to 0942 to give the bulls the chance to organize their target at 1290. 1290 could be a norm for bear's target at 0756. Otherwise I can accept a simply drop to 0756 to charge my long bazooka

If it's the same fib then it has already been invalidated in my books once the lower low was made. Often times the previous support will become resistance, if you can find a reason those can be good trades.

Not looking to trade EU today unless it pops 200+ pips. More interested in UJ or GU

i see only 2 levels worth looking at - 1.1057 and 1.1376 smaller tfs will eventually give us more s/r in near future but now only level to watch - 1.1218. {image}
this is still valid.
pressure is downside. i am thinking of going long around 1095 if we reach there

so why wasn't it invalidated when the high was broken first?

Thats the million dollar question. It could have been, but then why was the 88 and the 50 and mid mofus and bottom respected? (that's the question I ask myself often). It is also normal for a retrace after a HH is made, in fact we base the majority of our trading on that very fact. After a HH or LL, one should expect a retrace before continuation. You could move the fib up to the tip top and go from there, it didn't fit as well....so perhaps it overshot, but didnt crack the zone we consider mofu zone. I just don't know- if it fits it fits. The short term often fits one way and doesn't work at all....you hear gator say short term often lies.

through deductive reasoning, you can deduce that since the fibs ARE working (forget why), and that most times the mofu before a LL/HH works....then I should be able to make a trade and at very least get break even, possibly more. that's the key- RR, money management, and a plan. I knew exactly where it would go wrong...that's more than half the battle.

{quote} how much further than 1124 can it go in your view?
i cant predict news.. before news it has a bullish close last week and hasnt deviated from 1.247path. knee jerk may drop it.. but higher rates may hurt equities, so the drop may end with a bounce.. or vice versa with a dovish statment

the world needs a reset that includes all valuation created the last 40 years.. especially yen equities
