Windsor Brokers - Short Term Technical Analysis for Majors (07:45 GMT)
EURUSD
Yesterday’s bumpy ride, which bounced from the levels near 1.24 support and probed briefly above 1.25 barrier, ended day in Doji candle and near the mid-point of entire rally from 1.2417 to 1.2505, trading in triangular consolidation. This keeps near-term tone in neutral mode, ranging between 1.24 and 1.25 boundaries, as the price consolidates around daily 20SMA and Tenkan-sen line. Appearance of daily MACD bullish divergence is supportive for fresh attempts higher, with sustained break above 1.25 hurdle and pivotal 1.2530 high, also bear-trendline, drawn off 1.2884 high, required to shift near-term focus higher and test the upper part of larger 1.2360/1.2597 range. Otherwise, rejection at 1.25 barrier, would increase risk of retesting 1.2417/00 lows and possible return to pivotal 1.2360 support and near-term base.
Res: 1.2480; 1.2505; 1.2530; 1.2566
Sup: 1.2451; 1.2430; 1.2400; 1.2360
GBPUSD
Cable rallied strongly yesterday after brief probe below 1.5590 base. Bounce to 1.5761, near Fibonacci 76.4% retracement of 1.5823/1.5583 descend, was capped by descending daily 20SMA, which, for now, keeps pivotal 1.5800/23 barriers intact and downside risk in play. Hourly technicals are still positive and need to hold above 1.5700, session low, reinforced by daily Tenkan-sen line / 10 SMA, to keep the upside in focus, as 4-hour studies are neutral. Sustained break below 1.57 handle to increase risk of return to 1.5590 base, otherwise, fresh upside attempts will remain on the table, however, limited action is expected while 1.5823 breakpoint stays intact.
Res: 1.5761; 1.5800; 1.5823; 1.5856
Sup: 1.5700; 1.5672; 1.5651; 1.5625
USDJPY
The pair shows positive signals, as recovery rally from yesterday’s pullback’s low at 117.85 accelerated and probes above 118.63, Fibonacci 61.8% of 119.12/117.85 descend. The pullback was contained by rising daily 10SMA / Tenkan-sen line, which keeps the structure positive, despite yesterday’s close in red, after the price cracked psychological 119 barrier. Hourly indicators are moving into positive territory, which, along with positive 4-hour studies, keeps focus at the upper targets and keeps near-term correction floor and pivotal support, intact. Break above 119.12 high to expose psychological 120 barrier, also Fibonacci 61.8% retracement of multi-year 147.68/75.55 descend.
Res: 118.82; 119.12; 119.50; 120.00
Sup: 118.50; 118.21; 118.00; 117.85
AUDUSD
The pair enters near-term corrective phase off yesterday’s fresh low 0.8415. Rally filled yesterday’s gap lower and tested pivotal barrier at 0.8538, last Friday’s high and Fibonacci 61.8% retracement of 0.8613/0.8415 downleg, break of which to spark further recovery and open 0.8613 breakpoint, 27 Nov high / daily 20SMA. Yesterday’s positive close, signals consolidation of the latest weakness from 0.88 zone, as immediate downside risk is sidelined. However, overall picture remains bearish and keeps the downside attempts favored, but bears may be further delayed in case of clearance of pivotal 0.8613 barrier.
Res: 0.8540; 0.8567; 0.8600; 0.8613

La RBA maintient le statu quo, JPY en recul
| Comme attendu, la RBA a maintenu son principal taux directeur à 2.50% pour le seizième mois d'affilée. Eu égard à l'affaiblissement des marchés des matières premières et à la croissance modérée, le gouverneur Glenn Stevens a répété qu'"une période de stabilité des taux d'intérêt était la stratégie la plus prudente". Jugeant toujours l'aussie surévalué, la RBA a indiqué qu'"une baisse du taux de... |

Retrofiting the Everlast Speed Bag Platform
For those of you who have one, have you tried this? I'm quite unsatisfied with mine and tried moving it to a wall where the wall beams have been sistered together, thinking the extra support would help.
It finally dawned on me that the main problem is the rubbish platform as well as it could use better swivel and linkage hardware.
I spend more time measuring, cutting, drilling and joining the various parts of my home "gym" setup than I do using it - so I really don't want to go and put a whole weekend ( when one has to steal moments from everything else, it turns into a weekend ) into doing a custom setup from scratch.
I came upon this youtube video on retrofitting the rubbish platform with a quality table sistered to the old one.
Has anyone given this a go? Looks nice but I canna help but wonder if the light weight aluminum slider bars would negate much of the benefits of retrofitting the expensive wood platform. I didn't want to get into having to cut and join high-carbon steel for the platform support.

See DEC GIS layers on hi-res topos and Google aerials
A few weeks ago I started a project to produce map links that can display recreation-related GIS data layers on top of high resolution topographic maps or on top of the Google aerials. Government agencies at all levels have a ton of useful recreation data sitting on GIS servers. This project will let people easy see that data with (1) a common interface and (2) a variety of built-in features that will work the same on any map.
The first batch of map links at the federal level are done and also the first few states, including New York State, have been finished. Here is the homepage for this project.
http://ift.tt/1vdzxQk
You will see a link for "Tips" on how to use the map. Please take a couple of minutes and look at that page. It is written in plain English - not computer babble speak.
Some of the GIS overlay layers might be a bit slow to load if the server is busy.
If a data layer is hard to read, then try changing the basemap to "All white basemap".
All of the GIS data that you can display on the map also has "attributes" on the server with more information. This winter I plan to add a feature that will let you click on a GIS symbol and see those attributes.
Enjoy!

Belated Steelhead Post
Ross and I made the great Steelhead Odyssey again the weekend before Thanksgiving. Remember how cold it was? 16 degrees when we arrived in the dark at the LFZ parking lot Saturday morning. Why there? Simply because we have never fished it. We found places in the lineup in Cemetery Pool and started fishing at more or less the legal hour.
Both Ross and I were rigged with floats and worked hard to get good, clean vertical drifts. Guys started hooking fish above, below and across from us. What's the difference? As discussed in other threads, no float, long, fine leaders and lots of distance between weight and fly. We put in two hours of this before it was time to go meet UpstateDave at our usual meeting place. Ross resolved he will never fish the LFZ again because of what he saw. Pretty insightful for a 15 year old.
Saturday meant searching the river for unpressured fish who might get hungry. With the river being overly loved and the water temperature a frosty 37 degrees that proved a tough proposition. It was No Fish Saturday.
Sunday was warmer and the fish ever so slightly more willing. USD connected. So did Ross. Ross broke off a couple, which he never does. I had a couple of hard but tentative grabs.
Then my indicator went down hard and a real fish was on. A darkened buck threw himself out of the water, looking stiff and fake. Then twice more for good measure. He charged upstream into a deeper lick and sulked. My pulse was ever so slightly above normal. I started to feel just the slightest bit smug since Mr. Steel seemed to be nice and content at 45 degrees above me. Side pressure. Fish management, USD calls it. I call it forearm fatigue.
Mr. Steel abruptly decided he was having no fun and zipped 30 yards downstream. Guess we're going for a walk, then. Through deep spots, around trees and tangles, every one a potential dunking spot. But Mr. Steel showed signs of tiring. And we were at a good spot for the tailing. The hook pulled out and my rig ended up in the trees behind me. I swear Mr Steel chuckled as he slowly eased into the deeper current. Anguish. No fish for me that day.
The next day Ross connected three times and landed two. Beautiful fish, perfectly played. Then he broke off another...
I caught a nice domestic rainbow out of a neglected pocket and USD found a small brown in there as well. Not the fish we were looking for. Then, standing in the same pocket as the day before my indicator went down. Deja vu, except this time it was a hen, a couple of pounds lighter than Sunday's beast. It was the same game plan, similar fight but this time the tailing was successful, in exactly the same spot as the day before.
The river rose and warmed and discolored. The fish turned dour or else they couldn't see our offerings any longer. Or they'd been scared earlier by the sight of Sero's wading boots. We'll never know.
So a few fish were actually caught, played and ever so carefully released (minimal time out of the water).
It was a hell of a lot of work for just these few. And the same question gets discussed during every ride home. And I think the answer for us is yes, it is worth it. For me a lot of it is watching my son develop as an angler and a thinker. I was nowhere near where he was at age 15. And when we got home we watched the Patagonia movie Damnation. Life is very, very good.
