I am quite confident that we should see the Euro/Usd pull-back here at the 1.1133 - 1.1145 area, especially viewing it from the daily candles.

Be aware that I am looking at this from the daily charts. There is a possibility of a lot of up and down movements and noise in between that. And as a disclaimer I am only sharing what I am seeing, please do not blindly follow me or anyone here for that matter, it's important for you to do your own research and come up with your own conclusions as well if you want to truly develop into a trader.

What a shit-show.
the starring turd is DJT & he's brought all the shitswirl upon himself. Elected because he's not a politician to a position where being a politician is the No. 1 priority. I get the feeling that this is a man who has not a single friend. Hey, who needs em? Just buy off whoever you need and anyone else in the way sic the attorneys on em. Only people he trusts is his immediate family & prolly only half of them. Anybody knows you can't trust someone who trusts no one. Stack the inner circle with the kids and son-in-law & his voters who screamed "No more WH dynasties!" re: Bushes & Clintons are too dumb to own a sense of irony. Meanwhile obviously around every corner is someone with a dagger or a leak. A fitting end would be just like the clip I posted, but it won't be that quick and easy....too bad.

In that case, that is my mistake, please accept my apologies. I take it you are short as well around this area?

ya, just small right now though. Would like to see a good rejection from here first below 1115, then maybe add into a retest of that area with a stop above here. If it never comes back, great got one of the rare easy ones regardless of $ gained.

Agreed.

I messaged sisse (no response yet), but I'll put it out to the thread as well to chew on. Seems to me the economic bullishness of the dollar has been completely hijacked by the fiscal bearishness (no shit right?). It makes me think that dollar has moved to ST sell due to current Trump fiasco, and that mid term has moved to neutral due to uncertainties regarding the trump admin. The next 4 years are shaping up to be plagued with fiscal hijacking of the dollar over and over and over...

Is there a point where the market will just get tired of the fiscal/political bull shit and focus on real economic factors....or are we in for a wild and bumpy 4 years on the dollar side. Even more, to back this up, as both gator and sisse have shown numerous times....dollar tends to fall under Republicans

{quote} It's a reasonable argument....that in order to oust Trump, his aids/constituents are willing to commit a crime and risk national security themselves. Two wrongs and what not. So, if Trump finds the leak (which in such a top secret meeting with such sensitive information and so few people he's bound to be able to narrow in) then prosecutes them for treason- what will the anti-Trumpers do? What will the judges do? Will they insert themselves into the investigation and circumvent the law? will Trump now be considered a crazed murderous dictator?...
There is/was/will be no reason to listen to VPutin before Trump, during or after. What he says might be viewed as untrustworthy, this way or that, but that isn't Trump related. It's Putin related. No spin from either side required to discount any position he takes as aggressively self-interested bs not worth the state controlled newspaper its printed on.

So- on that note, how do you expect the US to ever mend relationships with Russia? Are we just destined to be mortal enemies for the rest of time?

All the US moves are also self interested..

Is that anyone's goal? Really? I guess thats why i loaded the IRA with XOM after the election but I wouldn't call that "mending relations"

All nations are and should be, obviously, self interested. I meant communications. The question of whether Putin says he has some proof of this or of that should be categorically ignored. Like all communications from the Kremlin pre and post Trump. Thats all.

any of you use market or volume profile with your trading? I come from a futures background where it dominates and still use it for 6e(euro), 6j(yen). 6b(pound). obviously need cme exchange data but the levels i find are often uncanny and involve the supply/demand/rotation of the market rather than a lagging indicator.

I agree with both of you; however, I'm not sure about the big players perspective; is it valuable to be in panic move? or they will fade the long knee-jerk reaction so far? how central banks will manage this chaos? I don't have answers to these questions, may be you and other more experienced people can give it some insight.

I don't use it extensively, however, I do know enough that volume helps as an indicator to distinguish between a fakeout and a genuine move. Care to share your thoughts?

I'm just a mofuer trying to learn fundamentals like you, goose, chester, and the rest. Taking my stab at it this week, kind of a kick in the right nut from sisse and a kick in the left nut from Trumpy. Guess that's what I get for poking the bear
