Intraday Update
Good morning PipHutters! Charts are a bit mixed at the moment so we will be doing an intraday update today to hopefully give the charts more time to develop after the weekend.
Signal will come out around the end of the London session, middle of the New York session.
See you then!

July 16, 2012 at 10:51Friday’s short set with 2 active positions in action, locking stops to 1.2250 (BE) since I’m unable to follow the market for the next 4-5h.

July 16, 2012 at 13:05i dont know y i still see greeback climbing up… :s
SimmaX
July 16, 2012 at 13:16Same here as well…
Jim
July 16, 2012 at 13:22lol… I kep getting stuck in the old discussion page…. thought I was the lone ranger today
Jim
July 16, 2012 at 13:27took a long on the release of the CPI as the weak numbers should give us a short term pop on QE3 bets…
Seems as though it’s just a ? of which can is being kicked down the raod at the moment…
With the German courts delaying the decision on ESM for 8 weeks and declining EU inflation numbers raising bets of another EU rate cut the earlier direction was down but now with worse than expected numbers raising hopes of QE3 we’re back to a fundamental tug of war….
I am still short long term… but my intraday bias is slightly to the upside until the europhoria wears off
fwiw :)
Chip
July 16, 2012 at 13:28Of course it’s a short lived small rally, I can’t wait to short it :)
RahmanSL
July 16, 2012 at 13:30Hi @doc1….think the eu going to sustain upward momentum?
Jim
July 16, 2012 at 15:54Sorry @ Rahman… just saw your message… guess we know the answer though :)
Chip
July 16, 2012 at 13:32I think around 1.23 will be a good area to short with sl @1.24 and tp @1.20 (mid term) or if you want to go long term tp @1.10.
RahmanSL
July 16, 2012 at 13:36Hi @Chip….yes, I would most definitely short at 1.23 areas….in fact I have shorted one at the 1.244 areas…
Chip
July 16, 2012 at 13:41Hi @RahmanSL, I was thinking about going short around that level too, but I’m so hungry now that I have to go to lunch.
Take care, see you later!
RahmanSL
July 16, 2012 at 13:38…and thinking of closing that short coz the pair is behaving too erratic for my liking….but will try to hold on until end of today’s trading session.
RahmanSL
July 16, 2012 at 13:53@Chip….yup buddy, never trade on an empty stomach…nor go shopping either : )
Chip
July 16, 2012 at 14:00Problem solved, I was thinking if you don’t like the erratic behavior of E/U you could move your sl to break even and if it gets hit you can short from better levels and if it makes you good profit – even better.
RahmanSL
July 16, 2012 at 14:05@Chip…but I noticed its attempted to slide down a few times, but something is holding it up.
I have a suspicion that the bottom will suddenly fall off….taking traders by surprise….and simply free fall to 1.15 or lower. But, that’s just my suspicion and nothing more.
Chip
July 16, 2012 at 14:09My guess is that the free fall will begin tomorrow if Ben Bernanke tells us that QE3 is off the table for now and will only be used if the economy gets worse.
If that is the case this week we can see 1.20 and the next few weeks your 1.15 is possible too in my view.
RahmanSL
July 16, 2012 at 14:14Yes, Bernanke have the power to move market simply by opening his mouth….
Well, I have just now closed my short at 1.22130…can’t take the suspense as it’s very near my trading session…over 10pm my side of the pond and have a heavy work schedule tomorrow morning.
Good luck with your trades!
Chip
July 16, 2012 at 14:18Thanks for your input @RahmanSL, good night sleep tight!
John R
July 16, 2012 at 14:43Well…just a thought from me….we had good USA news today. So, that does NOT help bring out QE3.
I’m thinking we get some short coverings in EURUSD until he speaks and confirms they are not ready to QE3. After that buy the rumor, sell the news…… EURUSD can commence to test 1.2.
Stocks are pathetic today. So, the overall sentiment hasn’t changed. EURUSD is still going to die.
Maria
July 16, 2012 at 14:19Replacing EURUSD short orders at 1.2250 and entering one at current price at 1.2215. Same set in play as last week. Max positioning 26 trades. As always the same money management strategy – lower smaller, higher bigger positions.
John R
July 16, 2012 at 14:41Haha….we are following each other in terms of flow direction…except I have been longing USDCHF.
I booked 20 pips on USDCHF earlier today….but thanks to another EURUSD rally, I re-bought one more long on USDCHF around 0.9818.
If for any reason USDCHF dips further, I will be adding another long around 0.9780 (S1 for daily pivot). Otherwise, enjoy the profit floats and decide where to TP.
At this point selling EURUSD at all rallies are still working out great. In my case, I opt to long USDCHF instead, as it is 30% cheaper.
Maria
July 16, 2012 at 14:47Nice John, fully calibrated :)
Jim
July 16, 2012 at 15:21The rhetoric from the news seems to be upbeat and at these technical levels we should see further gains on the euro in the short term…. still holding my short term long but will add to my long term short []|B?D
SimmaX
July 16, 2012 at 15:21Any idea of the increase of the EUR/USD??
Jim

Sovereign bond risk falls in Europe, credit-default swaps show.
Jim
July 16, 2012 at 15:25I’m thinking we’ll at least see 2300/20….
I’m watching for the big move to signal a short squeeze… after the squeeze I think we’ll pullback until we get past Big Ben’s speech… with the dismal CPI numbers investors seem to be betting on a better chance of more QE3
Jim
July 16, 2012 at 15:26It’s like pulling hen’s teeth to get past 10 pips w/o stalling…..
Jim
July 16, 2012 at 15:29Or more than likely investors are playing it safe at these levels and locking in profit b4 the FED minutes
Jim
July 16, 2012 at 15:36Let’s see how far we pullback on the 1m cycle down… fwiw… this is a good way to determine when an exhaustion level has been reached….. for example…. as we’ve been seeing the tf’s have pulled back very little from the 1m uo so if we see a deeper pullback to the 5m with little rallying when the cycle switches then it’s an indication that exhaustion is setting in fwiw
Jim
July 16, 2012 at 15:38Closed my long position…short @ 2264 sl 10 pips
sahara
July 16, 2012 at 15:41hi @all
Jim
July 16, 2012 at 16:09Hi Sahara
Jim
July 16, 2012 at 15:41this is a scalp as I feel we have more upside after a small pullback but as we are losing the 1 and 5m tf I’ll tp on my long and give it a try
Jim
July 16, 2012 at 16:03My guess is tomorrow we will not see the FEDS endorse more QE3… for various reasons..but my belief is they are not going to prop up the US$ before the election…
IMO long positions should be treated as short term only and probably closer to scalps than swings jmho and fwiw
sahara

John R
July 16, 2012 at 17:20@saharaview…… USDCHF is almost exactly opposite to the bearish EURUSD.
Long on dips….preferably at bid points/ daily pivot, confluencing supports

July 16, 2012 at 19:09Indicators shows uptrend in 4h frame. Any other indications that shows the trend prevails? I just shorted at 1.2277 as the CCI shows overbought and the stochastic shows downward.. Any one with me??
sahara
July 16, 2012 at 19:12am with 2h candel in !! even going down now !! i have not shorted it !!
Chip
July 16, 2012 at 19:17I don’t think we can rally past 1.2350, so your short should be fine if your sl is above that level.
Anyway tomorrow after Big (and bald) Ben will take QE3 off the table for the time being, I think then your short will really shine. If I’m wrong and he whispers something about QE3 being imminent – you know what to do.
My guess is that it’s gonna be like @Johnr said today and tommorow until the news the market will buy the rumour and then everybody will sell the news, and we’ll see 1.20 later this week.
