The euro is closing out November with a major monthly decline as economists unanimously forecast the ECB will unveil additional stimulus this week. The currency has weakened 3.8% this month, its biggest loss since a 4.2% decline in March, when the central bank embarked on a €1.1T asset-purchase program. In contrast, the U.S. Federal Reserve is widely expected to hike interest rates at its mid-December policy meeting, sending up the dollar index to 100.23, its highest level since mid-March.

Today’s Hypotheses: December (Z) Contract
*****The levels outlined below are more general framework within a larger range…They are to be used are reference prices from which to consider trade opportunities, not hard trade levels.
Scenario 1: IF price clears and converts 2091.00, THEN initial upside targets PH (2096.00)…Conversion of this level pushes 2098.25 = 2101 zone. Above this zone measures 2104.50 Average Cycle Rally Target.
Scenario 2: Failure to convert PH (2096.00) keeps price within recent holiday range…Pullbacks are expected to find ample responsive buyers above CD1 Low of 2081.50.
Trade Strategy: Our tactical trade strategy will simply remain unaltered…We’ll be flexible to trade both long and short side from Decision Pivot Levels. Continue to focus on Bull/Bear Stackers and Premium/Discounts. As always, remaining in alignment with dominant intra-day force increases probabilities of producing winning trades.
Stay Focused…Non-Biased…Disciplined ALWAYS USE STOPS!
Good Trading…David
