3er test in the mid term (M) all three times with FED hikes and ECB in play ... short term and below is not in play at these levels. Although the inside daily bar today prolly made it very clean for those who trade intraday, I wouldn't recommend fading blindly in the next few sessions ....

Whatever the case, 1.056x is naked now and wont hold if we get a new test ...

I hear you ... markets are aligning/waiting for a final plop/pop before closing books for the year.

OPEC will close the year in Commodities, Italy and ECB in currencies, FED in Equities and the last couple of weeks in the year are set to give the BrexiTrumpeters 'carte blanche' for a circus of populism and political BS in wide volatility while the rest enjoy the break.

You are taking the post out of context. This is the next part of the transcript from a collection of posts call it "Dissecting the market (The Basics)"[although @Pharm0r seem to hate it , the quote link is on purpose so others can easily track back the previous posts ...]

A few traders around found bits and pieces from conversations, emails and a long gone trading blog and private messages between the authors and some other traders .... I am only reposting what some very nice fellows collected for years and sent it to me. It's not meant at all to be explanation of my trading style but rather useful core concepts that can trigger and help some looking around for some clues on pure price action.

Helping me a lot as I am firmly ensconced over here as the mayor of Noobville. Retraining muscles to break bad habits has proved tougher than I thought and these posts have been great. I, like a few others here, collect these and compile into a reference file.

Never say never...Oil opened further extended drop target on XCAD, UCAD currently about 80 pips more to go. There is valid target at current extreme low of 3270.

...a soft European morning with OIL ruling the board....we are set to have an agreement. +7% and counting today but more interestingly it's unlocking a major leg in commodities (NG is already on its way from last week) for a clean sweep to 56.xx and then the extension to 63.xx for next year thanks to Trump commodity rally....

Opec confirmation will trigger:

--> Changing short term outlook in OIL from sell to buy ...

Here flattening all in OIL ...

Watch-out for NY returning to the regular flows we are trading. Third day in a row with the upper hand. This time commodities are about to be clear, there is very little in between to hide....

Oil [and commodities in general] taking $50 for the M close is very hawkish for the FED and good for US Equities next year via inflation, very bad for the UK (the perfect storm is on top) also via inflation and very positive for CAD* but will trigger wide chop zone (cluster fck) in CAD mid term for the next Quarters ....

Eyes on reports and the actual headline form OPEC to close the commodity chapter this year....

OIl is looking interesting today. I personally am favouring Long term Longs on this asset. For me, I expect $70+ by mid next year so I am positioning myself accordingly. There is always the risk of a shock to the global economy plunging the price down to $30 a barrel but I can't see it getting lower than that (fingers crossed!)

Thats a blast from the past. Had to look it up to remember. Now I got it. You came into the swamp thread throwing insults around telling Ken A, gator, others they were full of sh*t then you got flagged. Surprised you wanted to remember that. Don't know why you tagged me here.
