Looks the EURUSD is in a range now. Not much to do not much to see? GBPJPY looks like it's at an interesting support. We'll how it works out in lower timeframes.

Morning Torero,

 

Cable came off a bit today after that rejection off 9750 resistance post NFP. Now back down at major support zone 9550 so see what happens here. I took a short on Euro this morning off the hourly pullback, finding resistance off the half prime and asian high, and a previous hourly resistance zone.

Taken out 35% to cover 2/3's of the risk and left stop up above the swing point. Looking to take some more off around 2900 if it gets there, and will then move my stop to break even.

Very nice, steve. In with the down flow. I tend to be cautious on Monday, last night I watched the Tokyo open as it was going down, but wasn't sure if it was going to stag or not. I'm late for this move already. Next one for sure.

Morning guys,

 

Closed my Euro trade this morning, didn't look like it wanted to go any further. Currently long cable from 33 after the asian breakout and pullback to that 9615 support zone, which houses the 50% 240 fib.

Looking to scale some at 65, R1 and yesterdays high, lets see how this goes.

Anybody upto anything?

Cheers Torero, you still in this?

I took another 1/3 off at 79 at the break of the hourly inverted hammer. Has now pushed on but getting a bit of a fight up here at 97.

Have moved my stop to break even on remainder and will trail remaining 1/3 of my position behind the hourly. Would like to see a bust through this resistance and see price challenge the 9750 zone.

Still, a profitable trade now, so just see what develops.

I'm watching the GBPJPY for a breakout here. They've been moving in unison up until now.

Well played on this mornings move Steve!

 

I see you've configured the 78.6 on your graphs ;)

 

Yesterdays move up off (what is currently) the new weeks lows also sniffed a 78.6 from the recent short swing, which buffeted a Daily s&r zone.

 

Handy markers to keep tabs on huh? - particularly if they marry a hard based level etc :)

 

Swiss has also triggered a couple good opp's lately nudging that number!

Thanks Anna.

Yeah, put those markers up thanks to you guys. Never had them on before but they definitely seem to attract some attention.

Price currently stalling at yesterdays high, now acting as support. Will be quick to pull this contra punt if i don't get any follow through. Still have a 1/3 left on my long, and will keep that stop down at 9633. That 50 zone could well act as a good support area, which may keep my long in play.

Cable is directionless at the moment, so all we can do is sit it out i suppose or play off these s+r zones?

 

Price has also sold off from this third touch of the down trend line on the 240 chart.

Yeah, they're certainly worth keeping on the radar. We prefer to use them as price buffers a confluence zone in & around their vicinity.

 

I'd imagine the smart money is sidelined now until the UK Rates decision prints. Just in case they throw another curve ball onto the plate like last month. The UK economy is continuing to gather steam, so I guess the Bank bigwigs will be chewing the cud over the recent data.

 

We also got the G7 convening at the weekend, they won't be too eager to lump on big bets until the fog clears on that soiree.

Morning guys,

 

Nice tight asian range this morning, looking like a continuation range of this leg up, may see a challenge of 9750 this morning? Plenty of data out today so i am sure most will be sidelined to see these prints through, especially waiting for IRS tomorrow?

I just opted out of taking the low risk entry on cable, nice setup on the 5 min chart, but preferring to wait for price to confirm the move up before compounding this long trade.

Price not wanting to push on through and i have been stopped out at 82 on my trailer from yesterday. Asian breakout south but not getting involved, will wait for the US prints at lunch time now. Very indecisive price action this morning = STAY OUT!

Spotted this 35-50% area, amazing how it noticed these level. Especially the 50% was right at big 00. I've been looking back past price movements and sure enough there were movements in these levels. Wow! Thanks tex, for letting us in on this setup!

Morning Torero,

Looks like cable is putting pressure on the upside of this range this morning. I wonder if we will see someone shove this thing through this morning. I expect most will be waiting for the interest statement to be released so could be range bound until then.

Will there be a surprise hike again today? Who knows.

Distribution during the low volume time prior to London open. At 0200-0205 we get an Upthrust. The bar trades higher than the previous bar but closes on its low. The Professional money is trying to suck in weak holders on the long side.

 

Price then re-enters the Value Area (upper purple line to lower purple line). Now we have an 80% rule trade. 80% of the time that price exits the Value Area and then re-enters, it moves to the opposite side of the Value Area. Normally would want to see this close back inside value on the 30 with the next open also inside value, however here we have distribution in the background and a weakness in the form of an Upthrust.

 

Price trades all the way down to the opposite side of value and then down to S1.

    • 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.
