Notes: Strongly positive report showing a healthy rise in the number of jobs in spite of no change in the unemployment rate. This broke at the same time as the US Non Farm Employment report which was strongly negative and caused the dollar to drop. This caused the 6C to drop initially, but it quickly rebounded and followed the fall of the dollar and the strong report. I advised against trading this report due to the US NFP parallel and superior influence. This initial action was hampered by the 3 major SMAs near the origin, then the R1 Pivot was crossed on the reversal 2nd peak
