Daily Outlook: Short term signals continue to be bullish. I’ve had a bearish long term outlook since 2009, though since early July I’ve been buying along with the uptrend. Earlier this week I tested the waters of a longer-term short only to be stopped out quickly. Luckily those short term buys I keep piling on more than make up for the bad trade. The trade had a great reward/risk ratio, and great money mangement, so even if I only win that one 1 out of 4 times I would be profitable, so I don’t feel bad about being taken out of the position.
Today is Friday, so I’ll be cautious and most likely head into the weekend trade-free, but the short term trend is up so I will continue to keep an eye open for buying opportunities. As always check the for intraday trading opps and watch out for news events on the forex calendar.
Trading Idea: Bearish retracements have been few and far between recently, so for the primary trade I’m moving the entry zone up to 1.3015 (from 1.2950 yesterday) with confirmation. Long targets at 1.3040, 1.3070, 1.3100 and 1.3130 for 115 pips profit.
A much more aggressive long would be at 1.3045 with targets at 1.3070, 1.3095 and 1.3120 for 75 pips profit.
Finally if you are hesitant about long positions that is a much riskier short you can take: short on a sustained break below 1.3015 with targets down to 1.2950 for 65 pips profit.
Stay safe, use a stop-loss and never trade with money you can’t afford to lose.
Happy pipping and have a great weekend!
P.S. You’ll be getting more news this weekend!

Does anyone have the same problem as me? I mean with the being stopped with by 2 or 3 pips. To give you an example, I had a long on €/$ with a SL at 1.2980 which was triggered. Just take a look at the graph at 10:00GMT to understand how I feel. This is always happening to me.
July 30, 2010 at 12:06 pm
it actually hit 1.2980
July 30, 2010 at 12:09 pm
sori,10.00 GMT lowest point was 1.2986.culprit=your broker is screwing you out.

July 30, 2010 at 12:19 pm
your broker will put in serious trouble one day. change broker.
July 30, 2010 at 12:32 pm
It was precisely 1.2980 (bid) on my platform
July 30, 2010 at 12:08 pm
My SL is behind LS(2950)
July 30, 2010 at 12:21 pm
Are you long?
July 30, 2010 at 12:23 pm

July 30, 2010 at 12:15 pm
EURUSD may fall further on the US GDP release
July 30, 2010 at 12:21 pm
agreed. do you think if we fall below 1.2960, that correction has started??
July 30, 2010 at 12:23 pm
Yupe i’m targetting 1.2950 and 1.2880. But market has already priced in so we may see a little drop further.
July 30, 2010 at 12:20 pm
Idk guys but Im short from 1.3015 with SL hidden behind 1.3050. Lets see
July 30, 2010 at 12:26 pm

July 30, 2010 at 12:38 pm

July 30, 2010 at 12:48 pm
Well my plan is Bearish on the USD today only. I think we will peaked 1.3123 today. After that i’m expecting a reversal.
July 30, 2010 at 12:52 pm
Next Chicago PMI is expected to decrease , it can Push Greenback to the downside further.
July 30, 2010 at 12:49 pm

July 30, 2010 at 12:55 pm

Economy in U.S. Grew Less Than Forecast as Trade Gap Widened
July 30, 2010 at 1:06 pm
Hi all,
Today I took the time to read all daily comments in here, and in my humble opinion, I feel like I must share a word of advice with almost everyone here, that is:
Step aside for a while, and take a look at the big picture. Think and decide on your own.
Why I say this? Todays comments, and I think in the other days is more of the same, I see people that are trying to chase the market, and chase 2 or 3 guys in here that lead the heard, as the price dropped down this morning a lot of you were convinced that would go down to 1.28, after the market went up and then there you go, just after the market and targeting 1.32.
This is my opinion, what you take of it is your gain or loss.
Regards
July 30, 2010 at 1:16 pm
why did you stay away any comment can help!!!
July 30, 2010 at 1:28 pm
sahara,
I stay away every friday, that’s my tumb rule. Apart from that you can follow my market view at the EURUSD group of piphut.
July 30, 2010 at 1:33 pm
yes my friend but last comment in EU group was 15H ago!!!!
July 30, 2010 at 1:38 pm
As I said, I do not trade fridays, even if I have an opinion for the day would be not very nice to pass it to others if I’m not confident with it, don’t you agree. In the other days I make my suggestions the day before, and comment on the day every time I can
July 30, 2010 at 1:25 pm
Fair point to make. Thanks
July 30, 2010 at 1:11 pm
On the candle stick alert it says inverted hammer EURUSD 1h 2010.07.30 12:00 1.30280 bullish
Now I would have interpreted it as a SS as it occurred at the top on an up trend (small as it was).
Who is right?
July 30, 2010 at 1:30 pm
I would side with you on that one, though it is a very weak SS because, as you mentioned, it is not at the top of any uptrend (just a bullish candle)
July 30, 2010 at 1:15 pm
We are going down. :)
July 30, 2010 at 1:29 pm
Pair is going down,if i am correct.
July 30, 2010 at 2:08 pm
I think this was just a small correction. I hope there are more bulls coming.
July 30, 2010 at 2:26 pm

July 30, 2010 at 4:07 pm
well this friday was not bad ! all the way it was nice and we are on the first trad idea!!
July 30, 2010 at 4:20 pm
TO ALL,
Patience is a virtue! Let the poor man (Mark) work on the premium service in peace. I guarantee you would rather him take his time to test it and get it right so that things run smoothly. I know as soon as something glitches or messes up you all will be the first to bitch that service is no good. Stop hounding the poor guy!!!!
As soon as it is up and running I am sure we wont miss a thing and all will know about it.
Please forgive my ranting and raving but holy crap…Enough already!
July 30, 2010 at 4:29 pm
Second that!
July 30, 2010 at 4:43 pm
I would really like to see the service running but you have a point there.
Rant on. :))
July 30, 2010 at 6:44 pm
Rave on little girl! Distinguished or not I like to see you in here :)
July 30, 2010 at 6:48 pm
Hey What happened Jenni? Why were you ranting and raving?
July 30, 2010 at 5:07 pm
Hello Mark,

July 30, 2010 at 7:54 pm
Ha ha..lol… Yeah, Good times or bad times coming, guys at that level have nothing to fear of Sahara :)
July 30, 2010 at 7:00 pm
My coffee is awaiting. Wish all a good weekend.
Personally view is that we will still be seeing some higher highs (Even today or next week) but that 1,31/1,32 will but it!
Reason why is that the Euro leaders do not like to see a much stronger Euro like the ole days (Not that long ago :))
I think they are quite happy with around the level we’re about now! Dont really see 1,35 / 1,40 coming up in the months to come cause it wont really benefit Europe. (Example: We’re still trading/exporting outside of Europe)
Anyway, lets see (Howver, I am still (Short term) Bullish, and we wont be seeing the 1,26 / 1,25 ‘s in th enear future :)
Take care and watch your pockets :)
July 30, 2010 at 7:31 pm
@johnny
I agree…So we will see.
Have a great weekend and look forward to seeing you in here next week.
ADIOS MUCHACHOS!!

Hey Mark, Just wanted to say hello. I hope all is well..
August 1, 2010 at 5:30 am
@piphut GM MARK happy sunday!! some news this morning
August 1, 2010 at 9:43 pm
Last week, EUR/USD pushed to 1.3105 highs, the pair looks poised to make another run for those levels as this week begins.
August 2, 2010 at 2:51 am
EURUSD remains in uptrend from 1.2732. As long as 1.2952 key support holds, uptrend is expected to continue and next target would be at 1.3200 area. However, a breakdown below 1.2952 will indicate that a cycle top has been formed on 4-hour chart, then pullback towards the lower border of the rising price channel could be seen.
August 2, 2010 at 5:54 am
Good morning and evening all. Happy pipping through the week.
August 2, 2010 at 6:19 am
