FCPO- We Are Still Yet Out Of The Woods.
I bet you have read this title before "we are yet out of the woods," as I want to share the outlook that most people would like to hear, that is not what I have in mind for the moment. If you take a closer look at higher time frame chart, yesterday afternoon recovery session was indeed impressive but we are far from reversing this whole Bearish trend in daily chart, or even hourly chart yet. Nothing much has changed for current down trend even with yesterday rally. It might be slightly different story on 15 minutes and 5 minutes chart, where it suggest there would be further recovery if the price manage to go up above 2,045 today, but the Bearish prospectus is still intact on hourly and daily chart. We still need more sessions to determine whether the Bulls are back and willing to stay for some time, at least for another 200 points commitment. And how do we look at that sign ? Any formation of higher lows and higher high on hourly will be a good indication or signs that the Bulls are coming back.And if you are prefer slow time frame such as daily chart and take it easy, you might need to look at price breaking pass some major resistance level such as 2,100 ~ 2,200 level to start with. Higher period of moving average also helps to see whether there is any price breakthrough above the line. All these technique may sound simple to observe, but very tough to execute it, that is what separate the difference between traders A who always want to get it right and traders B who just want to follow their system plan. Which one would you think will be more success months after months ?
