Good evening! It's a new month and hopefully we can get it started off right! Tonight, we will take a look at EUR/USD and hopefully gain from its current downtrend.
As we can see on the chart, we have consecutive lower highs and lower lows. Also, it looks like stochastics are turning lower - another indication of the trend resuming. We will look to jump in to the downtrend at the current market price (1.3660) with our stop above the major price level of 1.37.
We do have event risk tomorrow with ISM Manufacturing data, but with current market players in risk aversion and profit taking mode, US data would have to be pretty bad to change the sentiment.
Short EUR/USD at market (1.3660), stop at 1.3710, pt1 at 1.3640, pt2 at 1.3610
Please remember to never risk more than 1% of your account on any single trade. Adjust position sizing accordingly.
