@Said: Cable: Well, goodish bearish pin(-ish) bar on 10:00 1H chart, followed by bearish bar.
May only be meaningful in the short-term (pullback), but still...
Agreed though that the 1.3630/40 resistance was looking threatened, and may still be.

Don't know about "dead in its tracks", but it may be walking wounded.

Ashraf: Sorry to be dense, but I am relatively new to Twitter. In the past, you have recommended Stocktwits.

Recently, you recommended that people should use (?) Tweetdeck (?)

Just to summarise, what do people need for the optimum?

1. A Twitter account (obviously).... plus...

2. Stocktwits?

3. Tweetdesk?

4. Anything else?


....Just checking!


Thanks again for all your hard work.

It's been quite a week. I'm sure next week will be as well...and the next, and the next ... :-)))

@Said: Well, it _might_ have gone well above 1.4 and then he might have been wishing strongly that he had followed your advice!

Like the song says, you've got to know when to hold 'em, and know when to fold 'em....

It's all too easy to get it wrong, either way. (I certainly have).

Good luck all next week.

@PippedOff: You said "The only huge movements were cable and euro, the two trash pairs. Aussie, which actually has some game behind it's name, was only moved 15 pips."

Did you look at AUD/JPY? It lost almost 100 pips on the day. I should know. I lost most off them!
(ouch).

@Pipped: Well, again for what it is worth, the 19:00 hourly bar on EUR/USD is a fairly large bullish pin, and I am not surprised about the subsequent upswing. However, I think (hope) that it is just a pullback (chance to re-short a bit higher, if one wants to look at it that way).

That said, I don't take this price action malarkey as quite seriously as I used to and it can fail just as often as it works. However, you will often see it working in the short-term, especially on little pull-backs (if it is one) like this.

I work off 1H charts minimum (I sometimes snatch a look at the 15M just to see where in the "cycle" of the hour it is before placing or closing trades), and daily or weekly for main direction and for "levels".
So after every 2 or 3 down hour-bars, I'd expect an up-bar or two. Admittedly that 20:00 bar is very bullish looking, so maybe it will carry on up for a bit. I'd still be (eventually) looking for a shorting opportunity next week.

Well, having just looked at Ashraf's YouTube broadcast today, and thinking about his finishing note about the USDX, I looked at the daily and weekly chart for this, and guess what (thinking in "price action" mode for the moment): it's a very clear bullish pin bar (inverted hammer). And it's at the end of a downswing (where it is more significant than otherwise).

This is just a comment, and not (of course) any kind of recommendation.
