Not Bad to hold over thanksgiving? huh? {image}
It may be tough getting above 113.92. 112.32 may be all it needed to drop deeper toward 68.xx. Uj. I fu in earlier post using 113, 113.92 is better. I should have posted below 114

{quote} Did my bulk of trading early last year on bounce to 1015 EU and uj drop. Just running a smaller account very agressifly since. I did start a fresh EU long on larger account 0530 against 0510. Thinking ej still needs 129.5 norm. But uj above 112 is toppy. If so EU still could reach 1.2470. Meanwhile a stop at 0515+ has 1.1 in mind. R/r wasnt so bad.
Today's close is quite important I guess Gator, if it makes the close closer to your 1.0515, it wont look very nice on the weekly chart. Watching how it will work out. What a bear run has this been?

I got a feeling that long term the YEN would head back to 120-125 as the stronger dollar for 2017 bull run keeps in tact.

Here's an absurdly large tf chart I've been messing with. No news for most here I'm sure. Initial run up in eu from '71-'80 took first target in '95 then to norm around 2000. Before that was met, I see that the two times price consolidated for more than a few months in the area we have been ranging now since 2015, both times price visited 2400 area before turning south for levels sub-parity. These moves obviously take months if not years to play out so not sure if a chart like that fits on anyone's desk, for trading I mean. Also not suggesting that historical patterns should be taken so seriously, just think it's at least interesting as eu sits at pretty crucial levels currently from both TA and FA viewpoints.

perhaps if you ask, rockerzues has a theory on that leg as well

I suspect monetary easing has likely distorted it

Rock? Gator? MissPips? Anyone? Do you use this charted path or something like it? I mean the target up around 1.75 makes some big assumptions about the future of the Euro of course, but would you think eu follows that road til perhaps there is no road to follow?

Not yet - too much stuff going on at the moment, but at least I have one eye back on trading-related matters.

Nice chart. How did you get data going back that far into MT?

My personal opinion (suspicion) is that there is a tacit agreement between the ECB and the Fed to keep the EuroUsd in the range we have been in since 2015 until the economies of both of them improve measurably.

Oanda let me download it. Available files for most all tf's even the 1Minute (large file I imagine) going back this far.

Interesting. I suppose we should get a bounce back up from here or a bit lower in that case. ECB and Fed will have a say soon.
