Major and immediate trends for me remain down. The lower edge of the near-term R offered nice rejection showing to me that sellers are still very eager, but it dropped back down into the developing S zone (deeply though). Plan remains the same as yesterday pretty much. Shorts in the first zone but I want it above PDH unless it is extremely obvious. If get above PDH can be more aggressive with entries and scale-out in 1/4ths. Longs need to be on a capitulative move preferrably into the 1.54/52 area, should that happen I'll scale out in 1/3rds. Anything else needs to be very obvious and is all in/out style. Focusing on the edges of this range, absolutely nothing in the middle!

If a larger correction is in the offing, I'd be looking for 78.45 down to 76.60 as a target range (not shown with trend lines, but basically the 12/22 high and 1/13 low).  | Rather than continue a correction against the current uptrend, the buck consolidated its gains at/near the higs of this rally off the November low. Should the dollar make a higher high (EURUSD lower low) I'd expect the dollar index to make a play for the next target, wihich is in the vicinity of 82.00. With respect to the 6e, I will be looking for potential shorts, with possible trend down day implications over the coming day(s).

| | Hi folks,
during this week I'll experiment with a modified setup.
I want to start after the breakout bar is finished.
Stopped at -1.1R.
Trade was deliberately taken against the trend.
