| EURUSD daily Trend is up, and we just had a healthy correction. Long-term targets are still far above, but the 1.34-130 congestion area from last spring is acting as a brake. The 1.30-level is pivotal as well - and the event risks next week makes me want to wait and see at the price action before initiating longs. |
 |
| SPX daily Basically the same as above. Trend is up, nice trend channel, healthy correction, but the previous high and the older multi-year highs are acting as a brake. |
 |
| EURUSD hourly I would prefer being a buyer near the 1.30 level. The breakout from the 1.28-1.2950-range was technically convincing, and after that we saw a pathetic correction attempt. The market wants to go higher. |
 |
| SPX hourly Same thing, except the Friday's correction was somewhat stronger. |

From Millennium Falcon to Falcon 9 – big
think
While fuel dominates the mass at lift-off, it
contributes only a tiny fraction to the cost of the launch. What many do not
realize is that propellant costs are typically less than 1% of the cost of a
launch to orbit. All that non-fuel mass that falls into the sea is where most
of the transport costs go.
