But from what I do know, the .50 level provided some serious resistance throughout the 9/22-10/2 downward move so I'm thinking it may provide some decent support in the near future. I'm goin' with 1.475 as being key - that level having been tested here once already on 10/6.

With all the news flowing around out there -- which I don't tentatively follow -- anything is possible. Need to work on my fundamentals
Bilstein, good to have you posting with us in the trading community. Welcome!

Right now the pair is trending down on the 1 hour chart but so far is still upward on the daily chart. So right now we're seeing a short term correction within a larger uptrend so far.

Now if the financial markets correct harshly soon like I think...then EUR/USD could tumble quite a bit more on the daily chart.

However, I don't trade my opinion as much as I trade what I see unfolding on the charts.

Glad to be here, brother. There's so much to learn and I figure throwing myself into a community of experienced traders and analysts would be the best way to grow. I bailed out of the EUR/USD last night when patterns started getting less recognizable to me I made a few small-profit trades throughout this week and last week. Overall I'm still staying bullish on the pair but I'm going to continue playing it safe and waiting for opportunity to come by watching the market move forward.

I like the fact that there's a news section available here. I've been so encompassed with learning technicals and patterns that I haven't kept up with the news and could have never been able prepare for a major financial market correction, lol.

Bilstein, yeah I really enjoy all of the facets of this site too. You can get so many things here...it's like a "one stop shop" for forex. I really like that. I hate having to go to tons of sites do dig up what I need.

EURO CHART

Pretty much the same charts i posted a day earlier.
4650 if stands could provoke the bounce all the bulls are looking for... A break and we head for 4585-90 test...
The charts are indeed messy which basically explains neither the bulls not the bears are in control at the moment...

Resis... immediate 4690-4710 followed by 4750.
Supp... immediate 4650 followed by 4580 ish..

The bigger tgts are 4845-60 on the north and 4490 on the south side...

much bigger move could unfold if 4480 goes for a clean break as on the tech aspects it would give a chance for the charts to correct and form clear channels to be visible..
This is just my guess but as long as 4480 ish stands, upside remains the winner..

Hi everybody,


I am living in euro-country, and a couple of years ago i changed my euro mortgage into yen. No worries on the exchange rate, because i opened a buy and sell JPY at the same time. So I am hedged. Plus, i sold my house outright value December 2015 at a yen rate which looked very favorable at the time. Maybe because a yen is worth so little, that any amount looks great. I am not sure. Anyway, now i am thinking about unhedging the hedge, by either selling or buying the yen. But it depends a bit on what way the yen will go. Up or down. Anybody here aboard who has a clear view on the euro against the yen? It may be a bit off topic, but so much depends on the outcome, i need to know for sure what to do.
Hope you can help.
GL.

Im considering now change my mortgage from euros to USD, and return then in euros drecreasing my debt.
I apologize if my question is inconvenient at this forum, thank you

Hi Maaad,

Firstly, welcome aboard. It's great to have you on the team that is the online trading community (thanks to Sean for beefing up the team!!).

I am unable to answer your question re longer term movements with any confidence, so I'll stay quiet on this topic.

However, I think this sort of question can easily be answered by any number of the skilled Ellioticians that post on here. EW is awesome at predicting most moves in the market, if not all of them. Sometimes you have to do an alternate count after the event, but that is unavoidable and shows the system does work. In fact, I know Jamie (one of the analysts on the team) posted a long term count a few months ago, where he forecast EURUSD falling below 1.00 in the long-term (I think). And Jamie sometimes get predictions right.

Paul

Takin a small, late-night ride.

So I've been tracking the pair all day waiting for a channel break inside the trend and took it tonight for 20.7 pips. I was a little late on the entry but, as a novice, any good trade will do



Ignore the would-be "wave count" numbers on the chart, I'm still trying to learn EW and they didn't in any way influence my decision to open the position (because they're probably all wrong). 1.4750-area is still pretty hefty resistance for now and looks like we may penetrate that tonight. But I'm gonna go to bed before my mind turns to mush again from staring at charts for 12 hours lol.

Do you think we have reached the top. I was moore loking for buying oppurtunity since we break 1.4775. I think the pai can drop to 1.475 or 1.476 and then push up to 1.485 or more. I will wait till the ECB declaration and then see if I can enter a long.
