Weekly Market Wrap: Taking Profit for Euro Pair Short Trades!
Weekly AMA on Instagram - Ask me anything about trading & investing, stock picks, market analysis, etc!
Last week we saw a pullback in the crypto market, which is expected since some counters like Ethereum have run up close to 65% since the start of the year, so even if the bull-trend is to continue, we cannot expected it to go straight up without some zig-zags along the way.
Following up from some of the Euro short trades we shared a few weeks ago, we expected weakness in the EUR relative to many other currencies, and these trades have yielded between 400 to 900 pips profits per trade! Simply awesome!
The stock markets have also started turning down after hitting our predicted major resistance levels, so we expect the week ahead to be bearish or sideways. Still not seeing any major bullish catalysts for the stock markets.

For our weekly market wrap, we go through some of the trade calls and analysis from last week, which gives us valuable insights for the week ahead.
We cover 3 main markets with a total of 200+ counters, so we will never run out of trading opportunities:
- Forex, CFDs, commodities, bonds
- US stocks, ETFs, global stock indices
- Cryptocurrencies, crypto indices
By covering a broad range of markets, we can focus our attention (and capital) on whichever market currently gives the best returns.
