USOIL retraced almost exactly 45% of the previous drop, and tried 3 times to overcome the the 48.60s with no success. Now we can draw 2 trend lines up from the bottom seen immediately after this week's open. The 2 trend lines seem to be very close to the top & the bottom of the MA support band on the hourly frame. These 2 MAs are @ 47.63 & 47.17. Both of these...
Major Short-term Support @ 1618.30, made of the previous channel top on the 4H chart, plus the 50% retracement for the last up move.

Following the direction of the index reaction away from this level sounds like a very good...
The Euro is still trading Below the falling trend line from Jan 31st top. As the MA band flattens, this trend line becomes more important. It is currently running around 1.0810, and this is our resistance for today. For what is left of this week our strategy is simple: In case it is tested, follow the direction away from this level. I highly recommend against...
