like always... to the most obvious target market goes via the most mysterious path...
so, you can short it there, then add to that basic position on the breakout of the 1.2880 level and liquidate eventually at 1.1300... quite an easy, obvious, stress-free, low risk and low maintenance trade... in between can also trade something else to entertain yourself and keep yourself busy...)))

do you remember this one?...:

{quote} for now i would consider buying it on dips to target at least the first fibo level... let's say somewhere at 1.2980-90... the bulletproof stops for such a trade can only be placed below current month low at 1.2823, but perhaps some future price action might offer something more acceptable from the money management point of view...there is also a pretty good chance that we have already seen the entire trading range for this month on this pair... so it might stay within current ranges until the end of the month...
though it didn't get exactly to 1.2980-90 levels as 1.3000 was the low of that corrective move....

it seems gbpjpy has bottomed out finally... short-term target for the moment - 135.00... might take 3-6 trading days to get there... 1.3190-1.3200 is a projected likely top for today...

As no one can trust the OPEC members or any other official for that matter, I would say that they are cooking something and despite the whole discussion about not being able to find common ground etc they might surprise the market with some form of agreement and we might see oil popping minimum 3-4 USD. It will be an interesting short squeeze

Price stocked in range of 60 p. couple of days (7) certainly looking for break.
Long term is down, but intraday ... hmm it is difficult at the moment as all range was done already , wise is to wait for break and no trade , that is my idea

it indeed looks like a dual-diagonal diamond... however not reliable in this case for a couple of reasons... first, it's been formed inside of a side trend, which means there is no measured objective target whatsoever... second, it's on intraday short-term charts which makes it even more suspicious... i wouldn't trade on it at all...

dual-diagonal diamonds usually make a breakout the direction which the "arrow" made by two largest diagonals points into... in this case it points down...

Thanks for the info.

When you look for 18.4 IW/IM oppurtunities, how much of the range should haave been done or left to be willing to make a trade. My guess is between 35% to 55%?

Thank you. When I looked at the daily it looked like the lower portion of a down trend. After aggressively testing the third touch on the top and failing I am looking for it to drop and test the bottom, perhaps even the bottom of the range if it penetrates the lower. Am I to understand that the point of a diamond must be at the upper or lower extremity of a trend and I am chasing something other than a diamond?
