{quote} My bias: if 1.0960 broken eu will test 1.082x
0963 always a fork in the road. If we get there I will also be watching closely for which side to pick. (Close shorts or hold in my case). Another fork in the road we may see first is the area between 1090 and 1104 with 1115/8 as an extreme. That's my take.

OK closing shop for the week. Red day but it is ok. Was waiting for 1.1059 yesterday for entry, didnt happen. Anyway, thanks everyone. Especially Gator, your views are priceless.

Good weekend everyone!

Looking at the daily charts and up, it looks like a serious NZD selloff is gonna happen next week imho. If you look at AN on the weekly, engulfing candle, on the monthly the previous month a hammer.

NU on the weekly down, even GN on the weekly a hammer, looks ready for a lot of pips in my opinion. Will be looking to sell NU around 0,717x, maybe even try a buy of GN but I am not sure of the strength of the pound, so maybe NU would be the better choice.

{quote} haha, if my broker had an option for me to trade slaves i would probably do it. {quote} level still holds so i guess i keep my position. if a stop hunt i am out. but it seems there are still enough sellers. {image}
nfp dragged ej with it. ended up bouncing of s1 which i probably could not have known.
lost 6 pips but if my sl was 14 pips i would have lost 14 so its ok.
at one time +75 pips but was sleeping.
hope i get another shot at it but now its protected by a pa level.

I have a question i hope to get an answer on. I would really appreciate it. I also can't post anything better then i know.

Here is my view on usdchf daily chart.
Its fighting to become a bat or a butterfly.
imho its on the bat side although symmetry is mostly lost..

on the 4h chart i want to enter short inside the congestion area and want an accurate entry so i can use a small stop loss.
My question is: after a target has been met will the mid still have any effect or is it done? What is the criteria for a fib to be 'done'?

fridays number was a very good one.. usd gained a lifeline. i was expecting some bounce if the number was good. the number was more than good. even so that gdp # was bad. plus with oil slipping, i wouldn't bet the farm on much usd legs just yet. bad gdp, and dropping oil. will not make raising easier for fed, is my thoughts.. time will make right or wrong. .. uj did reach 101.74 norm but not 102.46 target .. some R 102.51.8 ish

Nice analysis, USD weekend holds payed off well for me too. Long UJ quite strongly & short NZDUSD. Feel however that the real resistance for UJ is 103 area, this is where the true test of strength will be seen.

Good luck This week
Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

I've cancelled my UJ short 102.0x/3x pendings. Will watch 102.72/103.28 to short some.
Early bears might get in after 103.28, some pending there. 104.08 is what bears want. 103.24 S/R close wise. (usdjpy)

expecting a close near 1.107x on the down side and 1.110x on the upside for today only ... no excitement for today ... dull day
