Well in the end I should have stayed short as the next candle confirmed it but that prior one still said long to me. Once broken 212.20 though it was an easy clear run to 210.66 for sure.

 

Unlucky cowpip, what made you go long there?

 

Short from 212.08 in the end (as visable on the chart)

 

closed short @ 210.93 for +115

 

long from @ 210.99

No kidding. Sheesh... I couldn't wait for that last 4-hour candle to form before hitting the hay, and I must have been too tired to act properly. It was screaming short at me. Sigh...

 

I'm glad you finally nailed the direction right.

 

Note to self (again): Don't make decisions when you're tired.

I'm long from 110.74 following the hammer on the 15-min rejection at support. There has been some nice buying down here during the last few hours. Let's see if it continues.

lol! That's why I have my way of trading so simple its a case of yes or no and no major decisions need to be made. I just need to remember to look at the right bleedin charts!

Wasp, what is the purpose of your short horizontal lines in your charts? They're obvious S/R, but I can't figure out why they're not long lines as well.

 

Edit: Oh crap - there I go again. This probably should have been posted in the other thread. Sorry about that.

No problems but, on the other thread, can you tell me what exactly you mean? If its the short S/R (not all way across screen, they are just there for information, I don't use them to base decisions).

Closed my long for +43 and now short at 211.25. Stop at 211.68. Why? Seemed like a decent place to reverse at the short-term resistance zone following that rejection off of the 61% fib. Trend is still down, and consolidation is likely to occur, so I'm trying to play the waves. If my stop is hit, that'll signal a decent change in trend.

Ok, let's try this one more time from a slightly better location... short from 211.47, stop at 68.

 

This has been a butch of a ride... moved stop up to 92 to avoid FOMC news spike and associated "noise." Still short from 47.

I neglected to mention I scratched for -21 and I'm short again from 212.04. What I thought would be resistance around 211.60 (roughly the 61% fib) was too weak. Should have known.

Out for -50

 

Long @ 212.45

 

If this market doesn't start picking up I will be taking a break again. This isn't worth getting out of bed for.

Agreed. I'm out at -40 and long at 212.31.

I don't like what I'm seeing. Price has been strongly rejected when above 20 and is now being resisted below 20... I've scratched (AGAIN!) for -23 and am short at 212.09.

Staying long myself, the resistance met can be seen on a 15 minute chart quite clearly but I am sticking with the larger view and think we will be heading up again personally.

Failure to break the 30-min inside bar would confirm your thinking.

    • 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.
