Just wondering..Why would it go up to 1.3345 in your opinion?Or if it will,why would it stop there?(kk i'm a bit biased here,cause went short at 1.3310 second high swing :) ) so i really do wonder.

My opinion is anyways:

Also there's a core rule,what Jack posted in my journal and really did bring me back to my previous successful zen trading track(what somehow i did forgot.When you are a too successful neophyte, that could turn into a great pitfall of assumptions,what you are taking for granted,and it f***'s u up,and also your trading):
"Trade what you see and is out there,not what you assume."

:p

If this will be rendered invalid,then i'll reevaluate ???

Hi Folks,

Thought I might add my thoughts to this, take these with a pinch of salt as i am still rubbish at this. Looking at the daily chart there seems to be some upward pressure, should this continue price would move into the daily OTE area with the 70.5% falling directly on the mid figure. There could also be stops at the 1.3400!, assuming it does go up I have pulled the fibs down from the 79% level to the swing point on the 1 hour chart, this gives an OTE on an open spaced leg at the 1.3200. So my take for the week ahead is up to at least 1.3350 this may start with a gap up later today then down to 1.3200 for the rest of the week. Beginning to think I shouldn't post this. Anyway if you think this is complete garbage let me know, I need to learn so another view would be good.

Sorry for the slow reply and the vague post.

Heres what i am anticipating for the week.

I noted the break in market structure you mentioned on the hourly, however my opinion is it
is still trading within the Tuesday's low to Wednesday's high swing and i see it as just a retest of the OTE. or rather just another SnD market profile day.
I think this week will be interesting though given the range consolidation of over the last few days.

On the Monthly chart, im taking note of a previous monthly high at 1.3340+ level which coincides with a monthly 62% fib level.

Down to the weekly, noting the fact that friday was a whip saw day, surging up and down but finally closing off at a significant S/R level, a previous Weekly low.

Taking a look at retail positioning, people are extremely net short with alot of shorts accumulated recently which makes it important to pinpoint areas where stops are resting.
Given the consolidation from last tuesday to friday, im looking for a move up first to clear the stops, forming a turtle soup pattern with confluence of monthly resistance/HTF fibs and a HTF SMT forming between the GBP and EU.

Do note that i may probably be wrong, but this is just one scenario i am anticipating.

The reason for my short bias is 1) market structure broken on the HTF, 2) Yield divergence can be seen amongst the US treausury yields with 2/5/10 making higher highs and 30s making lower highs. In addition, USDX has recently traded into a major support level @ 81.30 which coincides with a HTF Fibonacci

Guys and gals,

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323981304579077442028100408.html

Summers backed down for the Fed chair. This adds a lot of uncertainty to the USD since everyone was betting he'd be named.

The reaction in USD based pairs has and will be a bit whacked out tonight/today.. Keep this in mind when lining up trading levels.


EDIT: It probably doesn't matter that much outside of the opening gap. Ignore.
 
Given the gap pass my initial anticipated level 1.3350. Now noted that price bounce of major S/R and 79% ret on the monthly 1.3380.

Shorted during LO on the retracement at 1.33740 OTE.

Was flipping through the charts and the USD/JPY pair caught my eyes.
As noted in the chart, market structure broken with a swing high formed.
Watching a high to be formed today or tmr in the box for a short.
coupled with net long commercials on yen, could be a potential swing trade.

thought i'd share.

The net longs in JPY futures have been there since Nov 2012 :) ... Have been beaten many times by JPYs and net longs... Just be cautious here.

Well, I made a sell at 1.33640 and did take my profit at 1.33436. So for me this was a sell off 200p worth. It might get lower all the way 1.33 and then up.. Well, what do I know, I'm still on a demo account ;D

There is plenty going on here I'm sure for that. Maybe I have some things right here? Take it easy with me, really want to learn this and looking forward the next episode :)

Maybe a larger sell model? You have smaller models inside boxes. I remember that ICT told these sell/buy models are universal and can be found in any time frame. At the moment there is a another consolidation forming lower this old support.
