eur, gbp, usd, chf...daily/weekly/monthly view
I don't currently know if I would wait after bigger price movements before making further investments.
market prices seems too squishy actually IMO.
...all kinda into middle field but itselves for hedging events unsuitable.
...exclusively gbpusd could be some first careful longs worth...but who knows if bigger groundings will has cost us dear.
Whatever, I have taken some longs with gbpusd @1.29703 before week-end.
my two cents.

{quote} had a pending one here 2924 with a 15 stop.. closed + 5 because eu has more room to 1187. and eg more room to 87xx. that would bring gu lower past my stop
with gu below 2998 now and 3037 plus below the mid. no plans on longing for me until a past support, the closest is near 2865.. eu still on the bullish side and with eg 100 pips apart from .877 target. eu and gu could head 200 pips opposite direction..

Manually cut that gu long at be. Thought I might get a few out of it today but nope. Flat. Good weekend everyone.

pending eu L 1187 that possible support close wise 1176+- may be pretty strong. possible good window 1187/1176 uj 102.21+ or 102.75+ it may be best to let it tire with all the bull talk.. it does have a 113 norm,, but the low may have more room with 67.xx pulling all trades have 1 -4 pips spread allowance depending on pair,
pending eu long missed the 1187 touch by 5 pips. i am still hopeful it will happen.. but with this being a new week the 1176 support mentioned above may be less reliable. a drop to 1187 has lost some luster% wise of it happening because the close was a higher close on week.. no big deal atm since i didnt lose on waiting. some retrace of last weeks 1220 possible s/r level to 1187 still has a high % of happening.... but its st.. so i will just wait.. between 1220 and previous 1176 is 1195 st support. spike to 1187 may end up with a bullish close soon after above 1220. it looks bullish to me.. but it would be no surprise in the least to touch 1187 before the larger move.

if last month's high is broken 1325, it may be possible to sit back and wait to long 1222 later.

gu has some R anticipated at 2997, but 3015 is normal. the week did close on the bear side. i cant long gu atm till it gives a sign. it should have the 1.39 attraction kick in at some point before a LL

it did make that HH, bullish. rather than buy the high. i am sitting back. eg near a high. i expect 877x.. in the st eg may retrace 150 ish.. the eu weekly was/is strong bull on close. rather than risk eg 150 pips for the last 60 pips.. i closed now, in case it retraces the 150. out with 375

It's hard to see where this is heading, couple of s/rs and targets. (USDX,DXY)

shorts not happy, the case for 1197/1189 is the reason behind going short at these levels

if gu atm high holds. a possible L against what the week close did at 2950/51. no need to risk more than a few.. the week to me is gu bearish. at 2951, she may bounce toward 3055. just above 3031 norm.. some R 2998 possible. it would line up with eg retrace. if the eu dropped maybe to 1187 too. eu week was bullish to me.. but a retrace don't hurt across the board

probably a do-over 2950 (add spread..).. if one wants to scalp a L.
