02/26/10 8:35 am - EURUSD: Upside risk remains, exited short

I exited my short this morning at 1.3581 for a 78 point loss. There is real risk for the upside to continue past 1.3630, and my stop barely survived once. Using the opportunity to cut my losses now.

Hourly RSI has room for more upside and has stayed above neutral since yesterday morning. The “surprise factor” is on the bull side, the expected drop may not come, and bears will use it to exit their shorts (as I just did.)

Resistance at 1.3630 is not that strong, 1.3655 should be more difficult to take out. A close above the daily EMA10 at 1.3595 would signal that more upside is likely next week, and that this is the beginning of a larger correction. A close below the daily EMA10 would leave things open, and we may see a capitulation move down towards 1.33. Sidelined until I see some clear direction.

Support: 1.3550 HSppt   1.3515 SpptRsst   1.3444 HSppt

Resistance: 1.3630 HRsst   1.3653 HSpptRsst   1.3688 H-2-23

RSI: Hrly: bullish with room for more upside, but capped by decl. TL, Dly: capped by decl. TL resistance, mildly bullish

02/25/10 12:36 pm - EURUSD: Stop run, staying short

I raised my stop to 1.3635, something I very rarely do, and remain short. I only raised the stop based on the dynamics of the last two hour’s rally, which I believe is unsustainable and will fall back to below 1.35 shortly. If consolidation above 1.35 occurs, I’m looking to exit my short at a small loss.
