Forex Trading | EUR/USD – Another Breakdown?
Weekly AMA on Instagram - Ask me anything about trading & investing, stock picks, market analysis, etc!
After my previous post, the EUR/USD has continued downwards and hit my profit target, where I took profit on my accumulated shorts and watched to see if the next support would be broken.
Despite the bullish news in the evening today, which caused a major spike up on most equity and Euro-related forex futures, the EUR/USD gave up its gains and went back into negative territory.
Watching the price action throughout the day, I knew that while retail traders might be going long for a breakout play, professionals were already taking the chance to liquidate their longs and were initiating short positions.
I started scaling in shorts after the major spike, and managed to get in most of my positions near the day high. I used the 5-minute charts to scale out my positions and take profit as price started to break down.
Now, I am still net short, and I am waiting to see if price manages to convincingly break the support for another leg down.
Stayed tuned in the Synapse forum!
Cheers
Spencer
