There's the picture of what I had been talking about in the previous Weekly Forecasts. I had been talking about a breakout for this pair, adn that it was necessary for it to break to the upside to stir things about a bit.
Here's the first sentence of this week's forecast: This pair is still waiting for the breakout, as it has been very tight for it lately.
The breakout we had been waiting for was the one to the upside that I mentioned in a previous WF.
This is what happens when things get tightly consolidated like they had been since the first part of August. Of late, the high-low range for the week had been about the average daily range. What it means is a market had lost interest in the trend, and was just waiting to break out of the funk it was in. The other thing was the move away from equilibrium (the cloud). There was room more for a breakout on the reversal than in the trend.
The bad thing is that it is not a done deal that it was going to break out heading north. I don't think anyone could have known for a fact the exact day it was going to happen. Therefore, I did not view this move as a trading opportunity, at least for me.
The nice thing is that now that it has made some room for itself, definitive trading opportunities will be forthcoming for this pair.
