  1. Wed session June 6

    ECB may make some statement/s around 8:30am est

    the 4H looks as tho it's doing an H&S but whatever, I expect the price to decline to the
    8:30 ECB beginning now or perhaps the next 4H
    both the 60 and 4H Ls stopped at their respective downward sdcs, so once the price
    breaks thru those levels it should move quite quickly, perhaps down to 1.2323 first, or
    lower; next level 1.2281

  2. Thur session June 7

    blown call yesterday

    JCs at 8:30am est and Bernanke at 10

    topped or more to come ?

    the price rallied thru the gap and closed above the R fibo at 1.2556 , above is the 61 at
    1.2619 and 76 at 1.2697
    will the price come off to around the 38 1.2492 or a little lower and after Bernanke's
    testimony has been digested and regurgitated, resume another rally and lasting until
    Monday when it then begins to fall. or, decline from here and continue falling, or rally
    regardless of Bernank's testimony ?
    how about rally till a week on Monday ? up to that gap at 1.2915 ?
    and, perhaps a base will form with the B leg beginning next week

    one of those 'void' times when there's nothing definitive that the charts are revealing

    so I'll have to trade it by ear ;

  3. Fri session June 8

    the price could as easily run up from here or down

    it sits on various mls and again hasn't dropped to the lower gap line, only dropping as
    far as the 50 . so I have to target the 76 as its next destination around 1.270 but
    it has to break and close above 1.2580 and then 1.2592 spot, otherwise it might only
    be rallying to form the right H&S shoulder around 1.2580 before declining

    a sensitive week

    Friday the price closed on or around the M's ml, on the W above its ml, and on the D's
    various lines, above a major ml - just
    with the price being so close to all ml lines, I expect it to drop thru them and continue

    down for 2 more weeks into the 1.18s, worst case, 1.14s, and I don't see anything
    changing that scenario except, a Greek majority government
    key level to watch is the M 50 C fibo which I have as 1.2238

    Spain has asked for and will receive up to €100/$125B, just for to cover its banks, but
    how much is Really required ?

    the focus or crisis depending on your pov is increased by Spain with the release of
    their banks' 'stress tests' results - and will they be reliable ? possibly coinciding with
    the Greek election results at the beginning of next week
    a non majority vote has the top 3 parties in turn trying to form a government, a process
    that can stretch to the tenth day when a caretaker government is sought, prior to —
    'a new EleCtionnnnn'

    1:40pm pst: Oanda's printed a HH of 1.26597 , the price having come off and rallying
    again. so the price will have jumped the gap for the 2pm opening, and whatever that
    closing price of that tf bar is, will be the new top of the gap, continuous from 1.2519
    although there'll still be some play around the 1.2560 area

    the price may sell-off right away, perhaps only as a correction, rally and stay up until
    the 0:8 4H bar and then begin a decline, perhaps from the 76 at the 1.2670s area

  6. hmmmm, nobody likes Dalio eh



    Tue session June 12

    thinking the price may go back up to the gap line, and make a C there, Eupie opening
    and expect a close down based on the sdcs on the chart, around 1.2377
    that's maybe a bit low, it's a 76 , the 61' s at 1.2433 , alternate is down first then up
    but trying to predict at this point in time is a bit of a fool's errand, there might be some
    up closes in the next few days but basically the trend's Down

  7. Wed session June 13

    have to wonder if there's going to be continued HC for this and tomorrow's session
    before the price turns down from, 1.2560 ?

    the price can drop from either this 4H bar or one of the next 2

  8. Thur session June 14

    it surprises me to see the price so high, but then if you want a good Short . . .

    I'm thinking the price will close up on Friday above the 1.2631 gap line around 1.2660
    this also means the price may come off first, possibly beginning with the next 4H bar
    and drop to around the 1.2519 gap line, a down close day , , , , , although
    there could be a slow drift up and the HC is at the end of today's session

  9. Fri session June 15

    * * * I'll be looking at charts and reviewing the news and write a bit of a report that I'll
    post sometime on Saturday or Sunday morning
    I'll leave the Mon update till 1 or 2pm pst to see what prices are going thru Oanda


    "WARNING WARNING WARNING' from Oanda and their weekend trading hours
    http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=244481


    at present the price has topped at the outer line of an inner sdc on the 4H, closing a
    pip above the gap line, now declining, dicking around with the 60m ml - drop or not ?
    I expect the price to come off until the Eupies are up and about, and then, rally ?

    if last Monday's H were to be included in an lrc, the 1.2660 target might be exceed
    and the price run into the 1.28s, up to the lower outer lrc line would be around 1.2720

    the major alternate to higher highs is that between last Monday and yesterday's Close
    a reversal formation has completed and it's all down from here, which seems to be a
    sensible idea, getting the L out of the market
    price plunge ? hmmmm, price in the gap, 1.2560 then 1.2519 , what'll the Eupies do ?

  10. Sat/Sun June 16/17

    much less to say than I thought on Thursday afternoon

    Athens +10/7 PST/EST hours ahead
    Greek voting stops on Sunday at 9am/noon PST/EST
    exit polls updating continuously with result estimates a couple of hours later
    possible more accurate results at 1:00/4:00pm PST/EST - 11pm Athens
    some time on Athens' Monday official results should be released

    "The Greek constitution says if elections are held within 18 months of the previous
    ones, the voting method changes.
    Voters this time around will not be able to pick candidates from their party of choice by
    putting a cross next to their names.
    Instead, they will only vote for their party of choice.
    Ballots where voters have put a cross next to candidates’ names will be considered invalid."
    http://blogs.wsj.com/eurocrisis/2012/06/15/a-practical-guide-to-the-second-greek-elections/

    for some reason, Wednesday is sticking in my mind
    further to the recent stress tests of Spain's banks, results of independant audits are
    expected to be released by June 21at the latest - Thursday
    Spain's banks are said to need €40/$50B, but who's calculating how much real estate
    debt they are carrying ? this may be resolved by the 'independant' audits, but as the Irish
    discovered, their €10B estimate rose to over €50B

    expect a coalition government to be formed but it doesn't change much does it

    looked at gold lately ? looks like the correction's over and the next major wave Up has
    begun; how high ?

    $'s coming off a major ml intersection, a correction ? so the euro should continue to
    rally the rest of this month, and then . . .
