About Art of the Chart

Art of the Chart Author I'll be scouring the charts for "actionable masterpieces". These will be signficant chart patterns or set-ups that I feel are not only tradeable, but also have a high probability of making big profits with little risk. Whenever I spot an "actionable masterpiece", I will post an annotated chart (my chart art) along with an explanation. My goal is to help you learn how to spot these low ocurring but highly profitable "actionable masterpieces" yourself.

Sell EUR/USD

Has this pair topped out in the short term? It seemed like it was going to test the 1.40 handle but couldn't even reach 1.3990 before weakening. There is bearish divergence present with price forming a higher high and the oscillator forming a flat high. With long positions at extreme highs, I'm looking for at least a short-term correction since some traders probably plan to take some profits off the table.

EUR/USD, 4-Hour

I'm going to go short at market price (1.3960). My stop loss (SL) will be 1.4030. My profit target (PT) will be 1.3850. If price continues, I'm even looking at possibly scaling in another short position since I feel the 1.40 handle is a huuuge psychological resistance level. I will post any trade adjustments below in my comments section.

Ouch. Stopped out before London open!
I am puzzled what happened here. Just when I thought the EUR was out of breath and had nothing left it wakes up and gives an upper-cut.
More like a uppercut followed by a nice right hook...I will be looking for a nice reversal on this as I am down over 110 pips right now. I might actually short 3 lots and use Andrews Pitchfork on the way down to maximize my returns.
The market believes the Fed will continue to cut rates while the ECB maintains a tightening bias. As long as these expectations remain, the euro will continue to rise. 1.42? 1.45? Who knows. With both the Fed and BOE in rate cut mode, I think the ECB will jump on the dovish bandwagon soon.
Trading against a very strong uptrend can get you in trouble real quick. Better to follow trend and By that dip. just my .02
