13 April, Turnaround Tuesday

The dollar index:
Has closed outside the ascending channel and unless the weekly closes back within the channel we are in for some further USD correction.  I would expect a dollar rally to test the trend line from underneath close the gap and then unless it has a major rally we are in for further correction.

I am waiting for EURUSD to close the gap and watching the 1140 level to buy gold.  The XXXJPY's still look like good shorts to me.

Update:  Medley report came out this morning saying SNB would accept EURCHF down to 1.40 so seems silly not to sell some

GBPJPY short 143.40 stop 1.4380 PT 139.70 / 138.50
EURCHF short 1.4365 stop 1.4385 PT 1.4050 - hourly shooting star
EURJPY short stopped out balance 126.30 (+0.5R)
AUDJPY short stopped out balance 86.05 (+0.5R)
NZDUSD short closed 50% @3R 0.7085 (+1.5R)
EURUSD short stopped out balance 1.3645 (+0.5R)
CRUDE short stopped out balance 84.00 (+3.5R)
GBPJPY stopped out (-1R)
USDCAD closed 1.00 BE- dollar weak
USDNOK closed 5.8600 (+0.6R)
NZDUSD closed 0.7100 (+1.25R)
GBPJPY long 143.60 stop 143.10 PT 144.80 / 146
USDJPY long 93.30 stop 93.10 target 95 - trend-line break

Open trades:
GBPCHF short 1.6370 stop 1.6405 - 1/2
EURCHF short 1.4365 stop 1.4385
GBPJPY long 143.60 stop 143.10
USDJPY long 93.30 stop 93.10

  1. Oh snap... sorry for talking up the EURUSD... didnt realize you were short. I'll keep my mouth shut for awhile then. :) Looking pretty sticky at that 1.357.

    I found a place to geek out on fx charts btw... forexcharts.net.

    Any other good ones I should know about?

    I sold crude @ 8220 then added another lot on every 100 pip till 85. Had my tail between my legs for a while. Some breathing air now for me.

  3. I-Man, don't worry the EURUSD short was just a gap trade.
    AMS I put crude up, I am looking to get out at 82 and maybe buy there. If the trendline breaks I will take the loss and sell again, I think.

  5. You should download a metatrader account, it has the indices too. I will email you link.
    I can see the pattern on EURUSD but I am sticking with the bearish gartley playing out and 135 target for now ...
    I am often wrong!
