Looks like we are going to close the day breaking through some key resistance levels. A 100% Expansion of Aug lows to Sep highs back to Sep lows and the top of a rising channel. This is also after a breakout in Oct of a descending trend line that's been resistance for all of 2016. Also we are above the 100 DMA and RSI just closed above 60 showing bullish momentum ...

So we could say price is in a retracement of a very long term uptrend but I think more importantly is the descending trend ...

We are still in a consolidation from the descent from 2014 to the middle of last year 2015. So far this year price hasnt broke the desember lows 1.05168 which would give more conviction on its longer term down trend continuation. 2016 Open and set a range ...

Wednesday's FOMC, the question is are the feds going to raise rates this year? The beginning of 2016 we were scheduled for 4 hikes this year 4 went to 2 and historically there's only been a rate hike by quarter (Quarterly meetings are followed by a press conference) Now that will leave september and december on the table. There's a very little chance that the feds ...
