{quote} ​yeah I don't trade AJ, just curious, it would be a swing not a scalp if I took it, but yeah I agree Aus dollar strength atm...
Yes, I like trading it for swings, but the weekly looks not really bearish to short now. I want to wait for it to be rejected at the highs first and see what yen does.
Fix up, trade sharp ...

{quote} Obama is in Saudi Arabia and oil is up 3.5% today and 10% this week after 6-7% dip recently. US indexes are up again today. DAX making new recent highs prior to Obama arriving in Germany this week. US and European indexes have been up prior to Obama's departure and have been up since. I reckon they stay up until he departs Europe back home. The the shit may hit the fan after with oil and indexes being sold off. Let's see. I may be wrong but so far things have been right as before on Obama's trips abroad.
so the trend since jan on indexes/oil are discounted? its because obama is out of town? forgive me for being skeptical. if it makes you money, have at it.

{quote} chart or range please? boolish on xxxUSD but need a pull back to enter I'm as sure as I can be that FOMC will be bearish or non-event this quarter- but nobody makes money without pullbacks
in some support recently. usdx chart for 112 target.. month did make a lower b/o close. norm 81.05 may be coming. that should give 1.247,, the million $ question is, will it....and if so, when.. catch 22,, fed raise drops oil, a drop in oil lowers inflation.. no fed raise hurts japan.asia and europe. the whole world is screwed..looks like a super cycle reset.. dt rejected so far on month usdx..

Either oil prices rise as we move from Spring into summer or they drop again. Next week should give a better picture. At the moment it looks like oil is on target to recover back to $50. Shorts got burned this month and Bulls were well rewarded.

up since jan low, in a trend like move. i still dont see how one can seriously attribute that to a plane trip. if the trend was down before maybe. i could just as easily attribute to longer days.green leaves or whatever.

1288 getting its ass bruised atm.. it held the last h, last hour was a 12 h close. 1297 close then a 1327 may turn bears for a little while.. maybe by then bulls can close 1347. if 1288 is lost with closes.. then 1228 may be next line. bears seemed determined. i measure progress with closes, these levels are affiliated with 1.2470.. 1288 is not a big one, it's a minor 1.2470 level
