Hmmm.... what do you do when price precisely matche the S/R level?...

 

Stopped for -12 and reversed long GJ @ 195.78

 

You pick one based on the overall trend / gut / trendline / coin toss and accept in these circumstances, you just can't win em all!

Right now I have finished ruining my good reputation in T2W as hedgehogs and banana fiends, back to business.........

 

Who would have thought a break would have dropped so easily... Once upon a time I would have shorted this, added and added then given it all back when it retraced sharp and hard!

 

As it is...... could this level be a bottom for some bounces now?

nice ;)

 

 

makes me feel better anyhow....... thought we'd never bounce!

 

I wouldn't actually call that much of a bounce...

If I were a buyer around those levels, I'd get out by the first sign of trouble!

I'll bet he reversed (short) up around 195.10 after it failed to run higher. But he may be holding, hoping price will attack the 195.75 level before reversing.

 

SOMETIME, I expect that gap to be filled. But I'd like to see price attempt to break 193.20 first (near the low of March). But it wouldn't surprise me at all to see price run up and tag 197.70 before retreating back down - just to give the lazy holidaying U.S. folks an entry. ;)

I believe in that chart I posted on T2W as it goes FW. The rejection at 195.60 was fast BUT, we have had a higher low now and I think we will be pushing back up again first.

fwiw, I think 190 is next before we see anything of a bounce that's worth buying.

I hope you're wrong, firewalker!

 

193.18/192.50 has been a strong buying zone all the way back to 2005. We shall see. This sucker seems to be in the mood for breaking strong support levels. You may well be right.

 

EDIT: The drop seems too swift. I often see these strong sudden down moves to mark big reversals. Again, we shall see...

Three reasons - and all potentially wrong:

 

1. The move down seems too strong and rapid - you see these moves during reversals. But catching that falling knife can be wickedly difficult and dangerous, I admit.

 

2. That 193.18 to 192.50 zone has been an area of strong buying interest in the past. I'm gambling on the thought that it may bounce here.

 

3. The move has happened so quickly after the close of the daily candle (and a 4-hour bar - at least, on my charts) that it stands to reason it would form a quick tail wick before reversing back up to close the day as a hammer. This is precisely the type of price action I would look for on a larger daily-time-scale reversal.

 

So I'm betting this is a reversal, but I could easily get taken out if I haven't timed this right. I hate catching these types of falling knives, but the risk to reward seems... attractive.

Actually, it's proven as fairly reliable support all the way back to April 2004, with only a few excursions on the daily below it.

I'm with you there, with the touch of that low at 193, I thin we have now seen the bottom.

 

I'm just kicking myself as I actually deleted a vital line that would have had me in short for that but instead just scalped 80 and 30 on the down then up move.

 

Flat atm and waiting for a retest at 93 or new candle back above 94.

 

I just want a bottom so we get some intraday/week swings like prior to the drop.... I make more money of them!

That's what I would like to see as well.

 

Anyone want a dead dog? (just kidding...). I'm ok with it... I'll also look for a retest of 193... I have my support line at 193.18, but would prefer a drop just below there to enter. I'd like my stop ideally to be below 192.50 - just in case this thing has the legs to retest the lows.

I'm still long.

 

Kicking myself that I wasn't awake to take the bounces off of S/R from 194.25 to 193.18... THAT would have been nice (did you manage to do that?). But I only looked every 4-hours and each time I looked it was hugging 193.18/60 and the candles still looked bullish to me. So I held - and thus far, I'm glad I have.

 

It's now cleared and closed above 194.25 support at that last 4-hour close, so I'm still holding this long position. We'll see what happens near 195.08. I'd like to see this ride up to 197.70 and close that gap, but it'll probably zig-zag between 195.08 or 195.75 and 194.25 before that happens. So maybe I'll ride it up and down a bit, as you like to do.

 

Wait and see what price tells me.

 

You've probably made a nice profit today, huh Wasp?

Good going cowpip!! Excellent call about that 192...

 

Thanks firewalker. I appreciate that. Now if I could just get consistent in this strat like Wasp does... it's helping not looking at the charts. No fiddling.

    • Date: 26th November 2024. Trump’s tariff threats boosted Dollar; Peso, Loonie, Gold & Oil Lower. The Trump trade picked up steam as investors cheered his pick for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. Beliefs he will be a steadying voice in the administration’s fiscal measures, while still following President-elect Trump’s tariff and tax commitments, underpinned. Asia & European Sessions:   Trump threatened on Monday to impose sweeping new tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico on his first day as US President to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. He would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the country from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China as one of his first acts as president of the US. Bessent’s 3-3-3 plan aims to cut the deficit to 3% of GDP, boost growth to 3%, and increase oil production to 3 mln barrels. Treasury yields dove in a curve flattener, extending their drops through the session, on expectations inflation will decelerate. A strong 2-year auction also supported. The Dow led the charge, climbing 0.99% to 44,736, a new record peak as the rally broadens. The S&P500 climbed to 6020, a session peak, but finished with a 0.3% gain to 5987. The NASDAQ closed 0.27% higher. Today, stock markets in Europe are posting broad losses, with the DAX down -0.6%, the FTSE 100 0.4%, after a largely weaker close across Asia. ECB: Lane suggests ECB must be open-minded on speed of rate cuts. The ECB’s Chief Economist said in a speech on Monday evening that “remaining open-minded about the speed and scale of adjustments is in fact a valuable strategy across various environments, as different situations may necessitate distinct approaches.” This careful, step-by-step strategy enables us to observe the responses of the economy to our decisions and continuously refine our understanding of their impacts.” The comments leave the door open to a 50 bp move in December, but also tie in with our expectation that the central bank will deliver a 25 bp while tweaking the forward guidance and commit to additional moves. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex hit a session high of 107.50 and is currently lower at 106.85. Mexican peso and Canadian dollar slumped as the dollar is being viewed as a haven after the comments of President-elect Donald Trump on tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. USDCAD spiked to 1.4177 and USDMXN rallied to 20.74. Oil and Gold lost ground, in part on cooling geopolitical risks, and on Trump trades. Oil dropped -3.03% to $69.09 per barrel, in part on the Trump trade and on talk of a potential cease fire between Israel and Hezbollah. Similarly, gold fell -3.26% to $2605 per ounce.
