Euro - Trading At An Important Level

The low from last July which was once support should now act as resistance. Today's high coincides with a 50% retracement level of points A to C and a .38% retracement of points B to C.

Stock Market Update


OK, a lot has happened since my last post so lets get right to it. As you know I've been bearish on stocks and had a very large short position. The trade was actually working nicely for about 2 days but then things changed in a dramatic way.
Out of nowhere stock exploded higher and before I could even blink my profits were gone. Just two days later I was sitting with large losses which continued
