End of Week Review
Sunday 27th January 2018

Monthly Chart
Candlestick:
Red Marubozu
It falls back within the parallel lines. It cannot go above it.
It bounced off strong W support of 108.6/108.1.

!!
Q1 is will it break the strong W support of 108.6 – 108.1
Q2 will it go down to 107.4?
Q3 or like September 11 weekly candle, will it just bounce back up again?

Note: at the moment, non economic data news that is at play (not scheduled on calendar) are:
- US stop gap funding bill,
- FOMC (will someone say something?),
- Davos (idem),
- will anyone (Munchin etc.) else say something about the USD?, etc.
!!

>Note re US stop-gap bill:
As at 19th January 2018: The US House of Representatives on Thursday passed a stop-gap bill to fund federal agencies beyond Friday night but the measure to avoid a looming government shutdown still faces opposition in the Senate.
The 230-197 vote would keep the US government funded !for four more weeks!, but the Republican-backed bill will still need to pass in the Senate, where support from Democrats is uncertain without protection for “Dreamers” — young people brought to the US illegally as children.

>Conclusion:
I must wait for what is the floor – will it be 107.4 or will it bounce up.
I want to know what is my trading area.

EMA 7, 12, 50.
faster moving > prone to false curves
50 is already above 7 AND 12.

>Conclusion:
Downtrend is already established.

Words propelled it to touch 108.6 S/R level.

Right now S/R levels are:
