A bit of a gamble to be honest, but there's enough evidence from this year to support a gap down this weekend. I labeled all the previous gaps this year and why I think they happened. I've put a very small position on a short gap down since I believe our support from this week's trend down is around 112.450. If it pays off, I'm closing it as soon as market opens because I believe we are very close to a rebound on a longer term up trend for the US dollar. On the other hand, if we see a gap up, it would be a strong signal of the down trend finding a a bottom, I'd wait to see if it closes the gap and close position, while at the same time I would look for a long entry.

Well that was disappointing. First weekend in the year we don't see a gap... signs of lots of indecision? We'll see. trade still open looking for that bottom.

we did not reach that fibonacci level. Entered long on break out.
I've gone long as well back at 112.836, so far so good

@darkmobility, depends on how much risk you are taking on the position and how much risk you are whiling to tolerate. Low risk 112.034; higher risk above 113.01.Again, I have a very small position in it, so I'm probably whiling to tolerate until above 113.01. I'm allso watching for price action (candle signals) at opening to see it's intention and making a decision then.

Yeah, that's what I've been saying for about 2 weeks now, still waiting for that gap to be closed. Damn those fundamentals.
