Haven't been too well this week and missed the lovely bear flag short in Brent oil yesterday. Will keep selling oil on rallies after Draghi affirmed on the uncertain outlook for the euro. Global efforts to
push crude prices to below $100 seem to be working now and Brent-WTI spread tightening nicely as no one mentions Iran anymore.
The sell off this week makes me think that NFP gives us a final flush ... or we go sideways (doji day) and flush Monday. Eitherway I am buying cable on the dip.
Brent daily bear flag break projects 109-110 next
ES 4hr chart -
bearish bat pattern - shows we have a bit lower to go before we hit support
FTSE appears to have broken rising wedge from 10 April low (4hr chart). If the harmonic pattern plays out then we go to 5100
Likewise EURUSD has a bit lower before we hit the bottom of the wedge and the 1.30 support zone
I am watching Cable for a buy entry, I have nibbled a little at 1.6165 here but will stop out and buy lower if I am wrong ...

Gail: I know we are not seeing Iran much in the news these days, but don't rule out a strike from the blue by the Israelis. They will not check with the US first. You would want to have a good hedge here.
ReplyDeleteDo you really think they would strike without US permission? I'm getting flat into the weekend, Its been a good day
ReplyDeleteWhile this topic can be really touchy for most individuals, my opinion is the fact that there has to become a middle or widespread ground that we all can locate. I do appreciate that youve added relevant and intelligent commentary in this write-up even though. Thank you!
