Don't know how reliable this is...

Suez Canal Company workers from the cities of Suez, Port Said, and Ismailia began an open-ended sit in today. Disruptions to shipping movements, as well as disasterous econmic losses, are expected if the strike continues. Over 6000 protesters have agreed that they will not go home today once their shift is over and will continue their in front of the company's headquarters until their demands are met. They are protesting against poor wages and deteriorating health and working conditions.

Whatever the reason, the drop stopped cold at the trendline. And now we're right back to pre-5:30 drop as if nothing happened. Will we continue our journey higher will we now drop back down in the coming days? Only time will tell.
 
thanks for the notice on the webinar...


btw, I'd like to officially thank CL for teaching me to control my emotions as I leave money on the table... Instead of banging my head on my keyboard for getting out too soon, I'm trying to have lovingly peacful thoughts of the winnings I attained.

As they say, "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"... although I must confess that I keep thinking about the "woulda, coulda, shoulda of the bush"... OOOOOH, but why do I keep looking so longingly at the bush :(

6,000 protesters can't even break a trendline. And who says TA doesn't work? :D

Some may say it looks overbought, but it's the stochastic crosses that really matter in my opinion. http://l.yimg.com/a/i/ww/news/2011/01/28/2011_super_bowl_chart.jpg

NYMEX-Crude drops on China interest rate hike
Tue Feb 8, 2011 1:53pm GMT_Print | Single Page [-] Text [+]
* Oil, copper prices slip after China rate hike
* Oil inventory reports expected to show crude stocks rise
* Coming up: API oil data, 4:30 p.m. EST Tuesday
NEW YORK, Feb 8 (Reuters) - U.S. crude oil futures prices fell more
than 1 percent on Tuesday after China raised interest rates in an effort to
cool inflation.
Both U.S. crude futures and Brent crude in London were pressured by the
rate hike that could cool China's oil demand growth.
Also weighing on crude prices were expectations that weekly oil
inventory reports from industry and government will show crude stockpiles
rose last week.
U.S. crude oil inventories were expected to have risen 2.5 million
barrels in the week to Feb. 4, with gasoline stockpiles seen up 2.9 million
barrels, according to a Reuters survey of analysts on Monday. [EIA/S]
Distillate stocks were expected to be lower, by 1.0 million barrels.
Egypt's continuing political uncertainty continued to be a factor, with
the possibility that unrest could flare and threaten oil supply flow in the
region, but so far no disruptions to Suez Canal or the Suez-Mediterranean
pipeline have been reported.
 
BCE, you are too funny! I'm a strong believer in candlestick charting; they reflect what the crowd is doing, where they may become fearful, greedy, totally panicked or irrationally exuberant.

CL is so technically beautiful today, with the 1-min chart pretty much issuing one invitation after another throughout that uptrend. The gauge of how clean the PA is today is the fact that out of 13 trades I had ONE b/e trade and even that one showed me over 20 ticks at one point.

I positioned myself really late for a break of that 88.11 and pretty much bought at the top of the failure. :eek: I consider those trades the rabid trend-follower's Badge of Honor: "Never too high, never too low!" :D

Stepping away from my desk now...
 
I guess heavy distribution going on from MMs to retail trader at this 87.70 level

Short 87.70

China 2 nd rate hike, tomorrow inventory numbers . We are set for 85 tomorrow

You're welcome. :)

Some good thoughts you have here. I missed some things today too and I'm not trading much. I always feel it's better to miss an opportunity then to force a trade that's not really there and lose money. There will be other, better opportunities if we're patient. And as we learn more and become better traders, we'll more easily and accurately be able to identify the best opportunities and actually pull the trigger because we have faith in our abilities and trading plans, and the knowledge we know how to minimize losses.

We forget too often maybe that life is short and we're here to be happy and enjoy it. No sense fretting about every detail that doesn't quite go our way. Better to focus on what does go our way and feel grateful.
