Good day Steemers and traders! I hope everyone is ready for the new upcoming week? Good!

Some key talking points:

  • at the end of last week we saw bad NFP data and unemployment rate tick up, but as the sentiment was massively negative USD, traders seemed to pile on again selling USD and got their asses handed to them. What we are seeing is unwinding some positions
  • North-Korea nuclear test. Again! Those crazies... well something is gona happen. IG Sunday DAX is down around 100 points from 12160 to 12060 on these news, but who have been following the markets, these events tend actually to be bullish the indices as the fear wears off.
  • US and Canadian bank holiday tomorrow. Low liquidity day.
  • the upcoming week itself will have quite a lot of data though, spread throughout the week
  • i have closed most of my EURGBP shorts, rest i will try to let run maybe for a 100 points more with stops at BE. This position is now forgotten and will manage itself.

Alright let see some charts, shall we?

EURUSD hovering above monthly open but all things point lower

BTCUSD monthly ooh, some red. The month is just beginning though.

BTCUSD daily these kinds of wedges with clear divergence are not bullish, but this is Bitcoin we are talking about here. I would love to get me some Bitcoin a little closer to 3000-3500 though.
btcusd 2 daily these kinds of wedges with clear div are not bullish one can only hope we pullback to nice levels but not really sure about that give us please around 3000.PNG

STEEMBTC looking to get into the next box to get the pressure off. Currently bearish, but remains a good buy longer term.

Do you find those sentiment indicators work?

Is that just the single broker's book? Where do those numbers come from.

i mostly just use this to avoid positons that are gonna squeeze, but currently i think we might be in the last phases of the uptrend on a bigger TF. Last time these sentiment lvls were seen in 2008. So turn soon or massive overshoot, anyway i think this will end in tears. This is FXCM numbers as well as indicator, available free. But these waves are invesre to price waves so this is not a predictive indicator but better gives you an idea when a support or resistance is mostly likely not gonna hold.
