Buk

week 3

Recommended Posts

Thanks, Buk. That makes a whole lot of sense. It's sometimes hard to think that way when you see such a positive news print. The print itself sometimes obscures clear thinking. Yet another item learned tonight. It never ends, does it? This is significantly more complex than any chess game I ever played. Lol.

no problem Cary......well it pitched back to the pivot & looks like it'll now settle into the higher low range easing into the NY Open & ahead of the 8.30a.m Empire print........

 

they've closed out the shorts on the shunt of the main pivot, price is holding it's mid-line & appears to be absorbing the supply up at this mornings high zone......

 

long legged doji just printed on the 240m, with 30m doji printing above the pivot also.....no need to hold onto the shorts when those babies begin showing their hand....specially not on strong mid-frame behaviour!

No wonder Buk calls you the scalping Queen (the noun that popped into my head was significantly more omnipotent than "Queen," let me tell ya)! :)

 

ohhhh, there are often the odd alternative descriptive bursts far too sensitive for general consumption Cary LOL.......

 

don't go heaping too many platitudes onto her desk, I'll have to re-arrange the door frames to incorporate her swelling head measurements.......

 

good that you booked some profits on your position - you never quite know where they'll sling price when it begins threatening prev highs, especially ahead of tricky data.........

 

I've been caught many times holding decent profit trailing positions only to see sharp kickbacks snatch them off the table........it's always a grudging acceptance that we need to leave a little on 'open risk' to test the intent........trouble is, judging just how much & how far back to allow them to lay!

 

these damned instruments can spin & sprint on a dime.....

Interesting areas here. 9621 was critical breakdown but this channel makes it a conflict. I'm going to sit tight and see how the prices leads to give me an idea which pattern it wants to follow.

LOL! I come from a family of 6 myself (3 sisters), and like you - I'm the only brother, so I can sympathize what that'd be like. For me, their head size doesn't swell - mine just automatically shrinks! lol...

Isn't that the truth! They can clean out stops in a real hurry if you're caught with your pants down.

Glad you're finding it useful. I try to keep it simple despite not seem to be. Either they work or they don't.

 

I'm still waiting for the downturn to of the EURJPY to go short.

Looks like this thing threw a curve ball. I didn't see a chance to short but I was asleep when the breakout to the upside occurred. Now sit and wait for pullback.

Here's the monthly chart of USDJPY, looks like it's break the long-term downtrend.

On weekly, the picture gets clearer with an inverted HnS at play. I'm still watching the long term resistance 121.39 area. If it get past this level, and make its first pullback, I'll be looking for a long entry there.

It's pulled back 38.2% of the days shunt, currently snoozing at the 121.20 level torero.

 

Looks like it'll sniff the big weekly fugure @ 122.0 if the $ boys get their way.

 

Some pretty heavy supply lurking up yonder though, so that could well see one or two fist fights!

I wasn't expecting the resistance on USDJPY to roll over and die seeing how important it is. Prices didn't hold above very long.

 

I'm still short EURGBP but heck it's slooooooowww. Almost 12 hours holding and it moved 5 pips.

$/Yen still contained within the 23-38% boundaries of y'days H-L so far torero huh? Today's Pivot also shouldering it into today's close.

 

The Franc is the only one which has offered (us) a clean trigger thus far today, popping off our favored 78.6 of y'days activity, but it's still well blanketed within the week long slop underneath 2500.

 

A sluggish end to the week by the looks.

I'm not stopped out EURGBP so I'll hold it over the weekend. This is the farthest I've gone with futures or forex, holding over the weekend. Going where no torero has gone before LOL.

 

Have a good weekend all! With luck we'll have little less conversation (news) and little more action (volatility or trends) next week!

    • Date: 14th May 2024. Market News – May 14. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Asian stocks and European futures kept to small ranges as focus turned to upcoming US inflation reports. JGB yields surged to their highest levels in over a decade amid growing speculation that the BOJ might raise interest rates soon. Former central bank executive Momma stated that the BOJ might opt to deduct its planned bond purchases next month in an effort to revive a bond market that has been largely impaired by its ongoing substantial purchases. BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda emphasized the importance of the market determining long-term yields independently rather than relying solely on the central bank’s actions. UK wage growth remained solid amid a slowdown in the job market, providing further arguments for the BOE’s monetary policy hawks to await more concrete signs of easing inflationary pressures before considering interest rate cuts. Eyes today are on producer price data in the US, followed by consumer price data the next day, which will provide insights into whether the Fed will consider interest rate cuts later in the year or postpone them until 2025. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex is steady at 105 lows. The Yen extended losses for an 8th day against the Greenback to a 2-week low. Currently USDJPY is at 156.45. EURUSD rebounded slightly to 1.0785, however overall holds within a downwards channel with key resistance at 1.0850. USOIL held steady ahead of the release of an OPEC market outlook, with traders eagerly awaiting signals regarding the extension of supply curbs. Despite a decline since April, oil prices have remained relatively high this year due to ongoing supply restrictions by OPEC and its allies, with expectations that these curbs will be prolonged into the second half of the year. Currently USOIL is at $77.78. Gold (-0.93%) declined further to $2338 per ounce. Copper rose at +2.46% and Platinum +0.54%. Market Trends:   The 10-year JGB yield to a 6-month high of 0.965%. The 2-year JGB yield, which closely reflects policy expectations, rose to 0.340%, its highest since June 2009. The 20-year and 30-year JGB yields also surged to their highest levels in 11 years and since July 2011, respectively. FTSE100 stands by record highs, the S&P500 is close to topping March’s record high. The Nasdaq rose by 0.3%, with four of the Magnificent Seven stocks rising. The Hang Seng has added 20% in a rally that is entering a fourth week. Alibaba and Tencent report earnings later today. Always trade with strict risk management.
