  1. gawd ! Friday already, where'd the week go ?

    bouncesay, bouncesaaaay
    I was asleep when the price dropped to and thru the 1.4372 level
    if the past week is an example of what the price is going to do until the FOMC then
    I just might get my gun out and shoot someone
    mind you, 100+ pip bouncesay, bouncesays are nothing to sneer at, almost as good
    as straight trends


    Friday April 14 session: 3:40pm

    I 'think' we may have downside again, a slow one, but no up afterwards, a setup
    possibly for a rally next week
    if the price does drop, watch the 4H 12-16:00 bars to see if the price bases and a
    rally begins. possible low again the 1.4372 level

  2. if last Thursday saw the completion of a top - reversal formation of the Feb-Apr wave
    it's likely the price will continue declining till the FOMC
    a lot is being made of the meeting as a time target, and pure conjecture that some
    action or announcement by the Feds will move all markets significantly
    while the EU debt situation continues to be factious and fractious, no critical change
    has occurred that would see a collapse of the euro and timelines there stretch out for
    a couple of months before a major problem may occur
    altogether I don't 'expect' a large move down, only a correction


    Monday April 18 session: Sunday 5:00pm

    I don't think at this time there's upside potential for the euro
    the next major lower levels are 1.4174 , 1.14134 and while various cfs can be drawn
    on charts, I'm not going to start quoting levels from those but stick with the idea the
    price will decline to the major levels

    down to 1.4372 area, rally ? till H07:00 ? at least 1.4416 ? 1.4430s ?? then down ?

  3. weaker than I'd anticipated
    it's difficult with a top as complicated at this one to know where to draw fibos from
    but one pf I've drawn seems to have worked since the price closed 1 pip below the
    261.8 level on the 60 min chart - which for me means the fibo is correct
    what's in question now is if the price will go back down and base or continue up in a
    correction move, and then later, break thru the previous lows and go to the next lower
    levels at 1.3931 and 1.3895


    Tuesday April 19 session: 2:40pm

    no easy call here
    a base doesn't necessarily mean the price will go back down to the previous lows nor
    for that matter a new low wouldn't be made
    a corrective action could last several days and there may be some clue what form
    the correction may take based on the price basing or not
    draw cfs

  4. question is, having had several cs on the 50 rf level, will the price now decline or run
    up to the 1.4372 level - which is just 10 pips above the 61 rf level ?

    Tuesday April 19 session: 3:00pm

    yesterday's 'draw cfs' was meant to be 'draw rfs'

    difficult to know if a declines starts here, is it a correction prior to a new high, and
    how low it should go and remain a correction - rather than a down move, or will the
    price simply take off up ? the next 2 4H bars may tell the tale to come
    and then what ?
    the price could go thru a reversal formation presuming it continues to rally
    Friday the markets are closed for Good Friday - excepting most fx brokers will still
    be trading - so there's a possibilty of there being a sideways correction period thru
    Thursday and a decline beginning on Monday, alternatively a decline starts Thursday

  5. a holeday for my charts, 6E v spot, hmmm, what's the difference ???

    I gave a thought yesterday to the price running up to the 1.45 again, a reversal form-
    ation was what I thought but my speculation ended there, in part because of think-
    ing about Wednesday being The day
    my thinking was also influenced by the price drop on the 4H from the 1.45 which for
    all intents is a straight angle down, fast market running corrections, and even on the
    D it's the first correction without an up day since last year
    depending on how the sdc is drawn - outer line on lows or ml thru last hc, the price
    has gone thru the ml and could go to 1.47 or, topping at the ml 'may', start a decline

    my inclination to the downside is looking for a correction, not a continuing rally
    if the price were to drop all the way back down to the 1.41 area I'd have to think that
    beginning Wednesday there'll be an explosive rally - or has it started already
    the alternative continue rallying suggests the Fed announcement will be a non event


    Thursday April 21 session: 3:15pm (got the day correct this time)

    today's 74.55 close of the DX is below the Nov 09 LC, that bar's LL 74.01 , so the DX
    is at a make-or-break level, but, no reason why a new low couldn't occur and a rally
    begin after the low
    so there's a could-be scenario for the euro that it continues to rally till Wed but,
    begins a decline from whatever high it reaches

    the price just keeps going up, or, watch if the price breaks 1.4470 which presumes
    the price continues down

  6. back again to the DX - charts attached
    3 possible interpretations:
    - price is completing w 2 of the new $ bull market
    - price will base around 0.71 , possibly higher
    - price is going to drop below 0.71
    Wednesday 12:30pm EST is soon to arrive and I expect the euro to drop some prior
    to the FOMC announcement
    the US is one of the last countries to make any rate adjustment, resulting in a re-pricing
    of its currency - or at least the beginning of a re-pricing. many believe the Feds won't
    raise till next year, which means the $ will continue to fall. corporate earnings are at
    extreme highs again and if the US still manufactured, the International Trade figures
    would be even higher
    the next FOMC meet isn't until June 21-22 , so whatever is said on Wednesday has
    to last a while, and it may be the Feds will squeak by not having to do anything this
    month but make a polite and insipid blancmange statement


    Monday April 25 session: Sunday: 5:00pm

    2 upper levels, 1.4717 and 1.4667 whereas spot is 1.46665 and will the price rally to
    then complete a reversal formation during most of this session then begin a sell-off
    alternate is the top is in and the next 4H will see the price beginning its decline

  7. well the price has been a lot slower than I'd thought it would be, on the other hand
    it's to be expected, or is it ?

    Chairman Bernanke will meet the press on Wednesday at 2:15pm EST


    Tuesday April 26 session: 3:00pm

    at present the 1.4519 level seems to be the base for the price
    I hadn't expected to be looking at spot everyday as I'm now doing, mostly because
    of the backwardation - will that ever catch up ? - which has produced different levels
    or at least some differences in fibo levels. the 1.45194 spot level is what the price
    came up to between the 12th and 15th which is why it's strong, whereas the 6E has
    the appearance of floating in noman's land between levels

    wondering if the 6E will drop down to the 1.4416 - 1.4372 by way of a completing ? a
    correction by the week end; has a reversal formation completed and will the decline
    now continue ? or just more sideways ?

  8. FMOC announcement - 12:30 pm EST - press questions - 2:15pm EST


    Wednesday April 27 session: 2:50pm

    having reached 1.4640 I think the 6E price will finally hit the 1.4667 level, not sure if
    it'll get to the 1.4717 level tho
    the spot high was even closer - 11pips from the 1.46665 level, what's the possibility
    of the 1.47518 level being hit ?

    higher highs first, and watch out for a possible fast sell-off

  9. well the road ahead's pretty clear isn't it - UP

    many have already said there'll be no rate increase until 2012 which leaves a large
    amount of time for the $ to continue down. the M LC is 72.25 - lower for the W and
    D , but long term analysis will have to wait till the weekend


    Thursday April 28 session: 2:55pm

    next three 6E levels: 1.4905 - 1.5017* - 1.5144* - 1.5202
    * 'major' levels; the 1.5144 you may know is the Nov 2009 HH

    spot has had a close just above the 1.47874 level and dropped below it, next up are
    1.49050 and 1.50557

    spot and the 6E Ds have the price right against upper sdc lines, and on the Ws the
    price is now well above the ml looking for the 1.5168 spot Nov 2009 HH

    some downside prior to more up ?
     
    #149     Apr 27, 2011
  10. today's the first I've noticed the 6E - spot price has narrowed, last check they were
    about 13 pips apart. not sure what that means, will have to do some research but is
    it that the overall price momentum ? / value ? is weakening ?


    Friday April 29 session: 2:50pm

    the current formation - looking at the 30min has possibilities of rallying back up to
    the 1.4855 area to form a top - reversal formation; also the possibility of a decline
    after the market opens, dropping to a new low, completing a correction prior to a
    new rally

    this current trend that began on April 18/19 hasn't printed a down day even during
    its mid rally correction, and it's possible this session may be a down day that also
    doesn't print red at the close of business

    sdc wise the price remains strong both in the larger and narrower channels, mid way
    between fibo levels is also ok too

    downside - 1.4717 level and 1.4710 which is one 61 cf level
    but, has a correction enough completed for the rally to now continue ?

    look both ways before entering the trade ;)
