Trade Discussion and Analysis

Recommended Posts

Closed for +115. Short GJ @ 194.10.

 

I don't know if this is wise - but it's bounced off this level enough times to suggest it may be worth a try - but the trend still appears to be down.

 

Closed short for +100. Long GJ @ 193.10

 

EDIT: I'd still like to see this bounce harder and higher from here - and I still think it might, but the UK rate decision on Thursday will probably keep GBP heavy.

If we can bounce about and not break back through 193 I think we could have seen the low for now....

 

Interest rates and NFP to come this week too (not that GJ usually moves much at NFP)

I'd like to see a higher high and higher low and take out the 193 so we have a bottom and can have some swings back and forth as I much prefer that!

 

Good point. You'll probably get that before tomorrow's rate decision. The bears are still in control here - for the mean-time anyway.

Hi Wasp, will drop this in this thread, I do trade mainly indices, however I trade the eur/usd as as well, might drop a few trades in here.

 

Cool... I got put off EURUSD in the old days on T2W when cable always dwarfed it and it never interested me from a ST POV. Too small. Be good to have a different view on a different market.

yeah...... broken hourly major trendline and through S/R. Bounce its head and bounce back down off the 4hr S/R.

 

Thats 3 times in the last 24hrs we have tried to and quickly broken R only for it to drop again so may be a sign there are some buyers about....... Either that or big money pissing about and sucking in longs before dropping it again!

 

I may live to regret it but taken 60 from my long and sitting on my hands for now... Should be short but I have my doubts.

Long GJ @ 192.30...

 

... on the very long-shot off-chance that they're stop-hunting at the base of this 4-hour candle.

 

ATM, I am kicking myself and think short is the future after all and the bottom could be far off after all.........

 

Annoying really as I don't particularity like this action.

Huh? Why the sudden change? Because we've broken (or rather, tested) the March lows, which is rather strongly bearish? I think the longer term is indeed probably bearish for GBP/JPY, but I can't live in the long-term off these 4-hour charts.

 

I still think that huge gap up there will be filled before this thing drops much lower.

 

I'm still looking for a bounce. Things are so oversold as-is. It's time. Perhaps after the rate decision tomorrow...?

I am having one of those days that, if this doesn't bounce, I am thinking off wondering off for a week and taking some time out.....

 

With the fake breaks, poxy drops and pitiful drivel in between, I am getting nowhere fast and for all the effort, its actually a waste of time so, unless we can break up from here, I am taking a break till we do find a bottom as this is boring the shit out of me tbh!

 

The crappy drops to each new support is fine and then I am giving back what I make on the crap in between. I can live with small moves but only coupled with large moves and whilst I agree, one should adapt as each moment in the markets are unique, I'm really not in the mood!

I think part of my problem is I am a tad greedy.... If I was content with 30/40 pip trades twice a day I would be in heaven right now as that's easy atm but for me, anything less than a 500+ pip week was a waste of time.

You're greedy?:shocked:No way! Lol... Hey, none of us would be in this game if we weren't greedy. We all want more. If you can pull in 500+ pips a week and you're not making it, then sure - I can understand your frustration.

 

I'm on the other side of the campground right now... I'm very happy with how this has turned out so far this week. It's no 500+ pipper week for me, but it's a crap-load better than I usually do.

The problem with this week for me though has been the winners and losers have been near the same pip count and I'm only up about 140 pips so far.

 

Go back pre this drop and we had 250 pip swings either way 2 or 3 times a week and that to me is gorgeous, I just don't like thins pop and drop malarkey but if it is going well for you, that is all good.

My total pip count this week is 257 (excluding what this current trade does), and that's much better than I'm used to. I guess it's just perspective. I'm not used to making this much in one week (granted, I'm not used to being in the market 99% of the time either), so my opinion is obviously biased. You're used to doing far better, so of course you'll be frustrated. When I'm at your present level of experience, I'll probably feel the same way as you do.

Wasp, do you see a support line at 191.88 or so? I've gone back and looked closer (back to about 2003) and 191.88 seems to fit better than right around 192. What do you think?

 

If this is true, then we're still good to go long on this (depending on the next half-hour).

Constantly I say adapt to the markets at any given time but I can't practise what I preach :crap:

You know which I prefer!

This could still turn higher here... but the momentum for the day is gone now, so it's likely to be a rough ride higher. I guess crossing a finger or two couldn't hurt, could it?

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
