Financial history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes. You can't be stupid enough to trade off anything I say.... I'm lucky they let me out of the straight-jacket long enough to trade.

We opened at the top of the range on the 65-min. Looks like a pennant of some sort forming. Odds are it will resolve UP eventually... but who knows?

If you take out the two "Dubai" down days, we are still below Wednesday's high of 111.50 or last Monday's swing high (on daily) of 111.74.

Dubai may have been a minor diversion, but the trend is still slightly down--- or it's a bigger bull flag?

its a big range trade.

Taleb would be impressed by your ability to just discard data.

to break it down... there is a downswing from wed through yesterday.

then you get an upswing... and you don't know the trend until you see the upswing complete.

Eurusd at the top of the range. This could be the top of the swing? Lots of resistance here in the indices as well.

wouldn't it be nice if we got a little breakout and a nice vic2b test of top to play on the swing.

That "M" would not be clean enough for the classic vic 2b. The idea is that there is a minor capitulation, a pullback, then a major capitulation. This brings a more violent correction that is tradeable.

This looks more like a range trade or bull flag. The breakout to the upside would be more tradeable-- above 111.74. (If it happens.)

An equally likely scenario is that we roll over with lower highs and lower lows.
