Long Trade Ideas
Long entry following a bullish price action reversal on the H1 time frame immediately upon the next touch of 1.1195 or 1.1155.
Put the stop loss 1 pip above the local swing high.
Move the stop loss to break even once the trade is 20 pips in profit.
Remove 50% of the position as profit when the price reaches 20 pips in profit and leave the remainder of the position to ride.
The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.
EUR/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that I saw the conditions here as remaining unpredictable so again I was not eager to trade this pair. The only potential opportunity I saw from the chart which looked reliable would be a long trade from a bullish bounce at the double bottom support level at 1.1195.
This was a good call as the two key levels which were reached did not prove to be reliable. The price has just continued to print a wide consolidation between 1.1195 and 1.1354.
I see no change to this sideways pattern, and I still do not see any good potential opportunities here with the exception of a long trade from a bullish bounce off the support level at 1.1195.
There is nothing of high importance scheduled today regarding the EUR. Concerning the USD, the Chair of the Federal Reserve will be testifying before the House of Representatives at 5:30pm London time.
