    Can't tell if EUR heading back up in the 1.4480-1.45 range or if about to take a plunge.. on the one hand lots of volume and spent most of the aftrnoon in the 1.4480-1.4500 range.. on the other hand heavy resistance at the 1.45 and did not mount a credible threat.. so think chances of strong/quick upward break is less than break to the downside..

    My plan is to short at either a pullback to 1.4480 or if it breaks below the low 1.44665 then will short any pull backs from there..

    Not sure if too forward looking or if I should take into account but just random thought for now -- passover/easter holidays approaching -- squaring away of positions next week? need to give some thought on effect

    Also -- missed out on shorting $/yen -- was eyeing a short at 83.70 but broke very quickly and now at 83.40

    Other markets: oil down at bottom of evening range as are ES and JPY -- EUR almost at low

    Getting more and more convinced that it will break to the downside

    calling it a night -- EUR spent the last 2 hours in a 10 pip range -- was very tough to trade

    Long 500k of $/yen (short yen) at 83.15 -- stop below 83.00 -- target 83.50....

    Will add another 500k at 83.05 if it gets there -- with stop on all below 83

    Will be looking to get long EUR at 1.4380 if it gets there
