"22:28 AUD/USD: Easing On News That CIT Unlikely To Get Govt Support Sydney,
July 16: Marketwatch is reporting that troubled US lender CIT has said late
Wednesday that discussions with US government agencies have "ceased" and have
advised that there is "no appreciable likelihood of additional government
support being provided over the near term." There was a trading halt on CIT
during the US session with a number of news sources saying that a government
rescue package for CIT was going to be announced. The report suggests that the
future for CIT is uncertain and the news could undermine the extremely positive
mood that was evident on Wall Street on Wednesday.
The AUD/USD has eased below 0.8020 since the CIT announcement with hourly
support found at 0.8005. The AUD/USD trades 0.8016/21. --
John.Noonan@thomsonreuters.com"


Oil also seems to have made a new high for the week.

After a few pips from extreme overbought levels I am out of the market as I don't have a clear idea on what to do.

Maybe Asher will come with his magic charts to enlighten us. I tried the Ichimoku on my GFT charting software but it's not as pretty as his.
Melbgirl, we are not brave. To open favorable position is just a half of a deal. The issue is to limit your profit/losses(risks) as well as situation allows you. In this quite bullish case I closed 3 shorts at 23,6 fibo rebound, the last one was let to fail out at 4146. Anyway I've stayed in profit. Just a little rule of money management, and nothing else..

Hi everyone, I was busy trying to survive the session, unscathed after a major rescue operation on cable, now looking for a bounce in EJ to go short. 132.30 should do.

Talking Barrier broken

On my charts I see the barrier got broken at 1.41311. High is seen at 1.41671. A pullback towards 1.41 is imminent IMHO. I bought more at 1.41010, putting a stop loss on that one at 1.4090. 1.41992 barrier should be tested some time late this week. If fails to break 1.42 by end of this week, it looks like it would have a downtrend towards 1.3972-1.4015 (conservative outlook). These are again IMO.

Good morning to people in Americas! and Good night to those in Asia/Australia! Happy Trading all!

*I'm leaving GBP/JPY & EUR/JPY trades as of today. Resulted in a loss of 300 pips overall trading those pips in total. Gonna stick to EUR/USD and AUD/USD and USD/JPY as of now! Don't fall for the monsters guys! Good luck!!

When they look for excuses, anything is possible.

Of course the fact that it was totally off forecasts made a difference.

It's not typical for euro to begin upmovement (assault) after a designated double top. Hoping top 4166 would be conquered again after a little bit correction
