Just take note that today is the last day of August and month end flows can disrupt the regular rhythm of the market.

Not surprised by the turnaround in E$ when spec accounts have such a directional bias.
NY order book:
Stop loss: 1.3185/80, 1.3205/00, 1.3300, 1.3345/55 and 1.3395/405
Limit: 1.3185/80, 1.3205/00 and 1.3395/405
Primary trend: Bullish
Intermediate trend: Bearish
Minor trend: Consolidation with upside bias
Technically, the downside easy money is probably over for now. Shorter intraday indicator is getting close to o/b but longer intraday is at o/s levels. Shorter intraday momentum is starting to indicate waning downside momentum whereas the longer ones are still pointing lower. Taking other technical readings into consideration, the most likely outcome: a potential test at yesterday's low of 1.3219 but 1.3180/90 should hold for rebound.
Based on current development, E$'s 1/2 weeks technical picture remains bearish for 1.3100 but for today, one should not get overly bearish when closer to 1.3200.
With this scenario, one can attempt a speculative buy dip with tight stop below 1.3150 on first test (before 1.3300 is seen). Sell rally can probably be held back till next week.
