i didn't. its still a fallen knife and extremely bearish. the year closed below the previous year and also below last years low (& 046x). that's a lt bearish sign. a smaller pattern may bring 1.1087 most times. but its against trend. it would usually happen w/o touching 1.0334. its not written in stone. a better short is probably after a bounce.

uj also has a 930 pip worth of rubber band its pulling against. that's probably minimal chart wise. if its time, a bad nfp would be a good start.

on a large scale 67.xx has a valid path. something like this would require a bad equity outlook. i still see u.s. as the best place to invest because of cheaper energy. that may not mean a good outlook for labor. automation may hurt u.s. employment. but that affect may be greater in places with higher energy cost.

117.32ish may be a place to look for a uj short. nfp tomorrow has signs of disappointment. many times b4 release a pump the opposite way gives a entry. if so then, 114.50/.49 seems to have a st target (with the better entry norm 117.32x or higher). i am no way saying nfp will be worse than expected. but ism and adp may bellwether that direction. some of this may already be priced in. atm uj at 115.97

i placed a small pending uj short 117.32 and will monitor it and possibly add on a climb. i will close with a HH above 118.67. a pump b4 nfp may get me an entry. i will be sleeping if i can help it.

yeah, other things seemed to point that direction. the weather wasn't so bad and with seasonal hiring it looked to be ok. with this not really helping is not a good sign. add in the retailers news of Macy, sears etc. it was good sales wise this year overall, not so good for brick stores. automation is taking away many jobs. that's progress. still waiting for a bot at micky D to take my order at my table. then bring my bigmac to me. all the big retailers have some form of self checkout. less humans needed. production is still going up with less labor. then the older baby boomers got wiped in 87 and 2008 stock falls, many are working longer because little retirement. its not helping the younger with huge school loans.

uj approaching 117.32 atm.. withinin 30 pips now. the safer, less risk monetary wise is closer to 118.66. a short would be counter most available annalist reports and recent trend. between 117.32 and 118.66. one has to consider risk as well as potential reward and adjust this to personal trade size. its free to wait for a trade to develop. to ones personal R/R. its free to not take some trades. between 117.32 and 118.66 has some merit, but its always a risk.

Do you think a second touch of 1.057x will be needed?

It looks cool. But it depends on how you trade, if you go for a vacation but sit in hotel room and stare at charts from Tokyo till NY... what's the point then . Even if you sit in crowd you won't enjoy or mess up. But always good to have something like this imo.
I've shared another kind of solution to triple your screen: (but never went for it.)
