Hey folks,
EUR/USD is a bit on the edge here at 1.2400 resistance (now 1.2380). My SL for the last half of my short from 1.2450 is at 1.2405 and has survived so far, but the Euro is facing a bit of a line in the sand. Risk reward still favors the short on most timeframes as long as the 1.2400 area is holding. If 1.2400 is broken to the upside convincingly, I'd play EUR/USD a bit more neutrally and wait for a better setup.
Stocks are possibly forming a short term bottom for another medium term push higher, within the context of a long term downtrend. So the opportunity here depends on your timeframe. Short to medium term, it looks most likely setting up for a 50-70 point bounce here, but as with most wave B's, there's always a chance we'll push lower before the bounce takes hold.
In news Friday, we saw US GDP come in a bit too close to expectations for a reliable trade. In news Monday:
0830 Various Small US Reports - This monthly cluster of US data rarely has pushed the markets much, but every now and then it comes out of nowhere with a pretty solid move. Nothing reliable to predict here, but just keep your eyes open if there's a big surprise and look to play off of support and resistance.
That's all for today's update. If you'd like to learn more about trading or trade along with myself and my collegues, come join us at Profit Mongers.
