In 8 minutes it went from a definite down to huge green candle!

Just wondering if it gets to 156 and then turns back, following the usual trend. If it breaks it then maybe we are on the way out.
So much indecision at the moment trading this pair - keeping out till it breaks one of the major barriers...

156.70 is the Resistance zone followed by a HUGE resistance at 157.50 . i wud keep my SHORTs at 156.70 area with STOPs at 157.50 and target 155 the best with 154.00 for more brave.

Clocksley, here's my thoughts. Just an opinion...so take it for what it's worth.

If it trades into my green boxed area and closes a candle there, then I'd be a buyer since it would have less resistance and would be uptrending on that time frame once again.

Initial Bernanke speech comments are positive according to John Kicklighter's coverage of it on the dailyfx stream.

Existing home sales were better too..so both were bullish "risk" and caused the "risk adverse" to go into "risk seeking" mode.

good morning,
My 2c. I think it will test downtrend line from the top first before heading up (to 157.50?).

The most bullish yen crosses at the moment.

Here are the most bullish "yen cross" charts at the moment.

See if they can close their 4 hour candles above the downward red line. If so, there could be more upside to come for these two "commodity crosses".

SHORT @ 156.50 area with stop at 157.50 area

My limit is 155 but i will extend it to 154.00 later if i see potential.

im trading very few lots. i already made 300 pips thru Shorting and then the big suprise LONG i took at 154.80 thinking it will hardly go to 155.50 but it went till 156.50 lolz. i made 120 pips there.

so 420 pips already in pocket and 60 pips gain already in the present trade. lol not bad... not bad. he he he.



PS: one thing abt US and Euro markets is that they react too easily. the pair went up and market is also booming but then after sometime they realize "oh consumer is still not there" and then woah the market sells off and risk aversion increases. i think this is one of those days. monday we will see a good sell off. Unless and untill US Consumer does something and data shows it supporting, the recovery and bullish mood is just a hype only followed by Sell offs in days. thats what happened so far. so this shud also be the same.

wan0903, It's typical for the volume and momentum to die off on Fridays around 12 noonish EST when the London traders go home for the weekend.

The U.S. "big traders" shortly follow and pack up for the weekend too.

Then they all come back in on their Monday.

So we've likely seen the bulk of the larger move for the day.
