{quote} You maybe getting too close to the market ...its a 2 years major low (currently 7th major test in the same period ) that unlocks 15 year old levels. Let me ask you a question right now before NY: What do you think has more odds for today's close: 1a. 'This is a trap, shorts are trapped and getting spank' Euroto close above 1.061x in a one major engulfing bullish candle. 1b. 'Nay just noise, there is nothing to see here' Euro to close around 1.061x until NFP and FED hikes 1c. 'This is just a mini 'dead cat bounce' before the hikes capitulation...

I would have picked b.

I rather buy stocks under valued first. I like to see a test of support or where base is before jumping in.

There may be a trick to it and buying any IPO.

As for EU I am waiting for .061x or close to it to come into play to scale in. I did go after the break of .051x which is something I would do in the past.

I am trying to manage profits now. Won't take a position, regardless if I am late, as it has to have a good r:r for me.

I figured it would run w Bulls and get set set up for NFP whilesqueezing those holding shorts.

the slightest dovish hint from Yellen would result in a nasty last minute move IMO .

Yellen confirming hawkish FED.... NFP is the actual trigger before the meeting...

Watch-out Euro 1.057x for those tracking the current flow...

Yellen wants data to be good till 15 March , data has been more than good lately so I am not sure at what numbers exactly they might be looking for , euro wants to hammer bears in a rush with the close !

Look at the weekly closings

most likely EU neutral
but UJ and AU and dollar* set to kill some important ranges

Great set up for an inline/good NFP next week, only a major flop to kill the train

But I was thinking of a momentum play in accordance ... The market seems playing with very very important level right now ... And I won't be surprise if we start rolling down as a simple tweet or leak will do the trick ... Rest patience is the keyword ...

sisse,

How did you know? Is this typical for an IPO? Congrats! Looks like I may get my .0610 but now I am psyching myself out that this may be a longer squeeze until NFP.

kind of irrational moves across the board with hike odds surging to the top. :/ seems as a nasty micro flow short squeeze. 61 should be max technically.

Congrats. Good call all you day traders. Maybe a record for fastest iteration yet.

Added a little seasoning at 605. Full disclosure, the way i see it with USA rules FIFO I needed to do some careful math to adjust the risk management on the position. New stop is 685 for an avg. entry at 630. New tp1 at 518 works.

We could't break early in the week ...remember this conversation:

Quoting sisse
No for real, definitely 1.051x held very strong. On the TA side alone, the bad news is that everybody including most lagging retail will have now that level marked as key.
That pretty much killed the break and cleaned the map top to bottom in the hands of very large hands trading at these levels. Also and more than probably with today's close at these levels, we have been unable to lock 1.087x since Dec which is a pain in the ass TA wise.

More importantly and beyond the TA part, we had a plethora of solid numbers form the EZ with a very low risk week in the political front (Dutch and French elections shifted positively against the anti nationalist/populist/neonazi side...at least for this week). We got 3 major alerts (broke correlation with equities and later with FED flow via Dollar the most important this week) that the Euro is unhappy at these levels and the bottom is around the corner.

Let's see how it rolls...

Its all about R:R Chancing a long at 1.0510 SL 100 pips TP at 1.1000 we had a 13 candle countdown (Demark) on the Monthly chart. When this countdown works it tends to spot a trend reversal ( We had also a 9 count during January 2015 which actually failed to reverse..) If it pans out we should get a run to 1.10 area Yes, it is counter trend and counter FA, but I think the market has already priced in the March hike and since everyone is on the boat to the same direction its going to tip over.. we need up before down. Good luck to all {image}
