I guess markets wanted some kind of reason to sell the USD now, seems like sentiment has shifted in bearish USD for the short term.

Mate this is the worse time to be trading fundamentals as there is no straight direction. Fed hikes are coming, but will that be enough to keep buying USD.

The only move which I wish I had traded was that political mess with AUD.

yes, at this point... An counter-trend is forming on the USD as fundamentals is not trading with prices. It is always the hardest thing for traders to get through assuming they are trend followers. Many many have gone mad during counter-trends...

Yikes. TBH you should not have held that overnight.

I saw the same thing happen last year with the NZD madness. Quick reversal overnight.

so maybe now will be a sidelines price move and we could search for buy USD oportunities but not expect huge distance for take profit, like eurusd max 1.15 TP. Now it is interesting if those crossed resistance lince will be broken or not. Mayby price will be capped by them and supported by 1.15 until actual rate hike in september.

Hello All,

Please read my new thread where I explain which prop firms offer retail traders trading capital for a monthly fee which means you will never ever blow your personal bank account or be in debt. It is risk free and you dont account for any losses

Hindsight, probably yes. Didn't really occur to me that things materialized so fast for the Aussies. I guess they don't waste time and get to the point. Oh well...shit happens...

I had no intentions to trade today but someone I know took this technical set up. So it's a position with low risk and high reward so let's see.

So did Trump comments end? Looks like 1,1510 or so now will be strong support. Fed dowish, how do we interpred todays Trump comments?

It is interesting that 1,151 was broken so easily comparing to how strong it looked. Thats why somehow it feels that everything is seriously going up more often.

Looks like small impact forecasts are also good for eur and bad for usd. Just did not understand yesterdays Trump comments - is that good or bad for dollar. But yesterday candle does not show that they are good for dollar.

Retail traders sentiment also support my decition - long are 36 % on myfxbook.

Plys it closed above resistance level, which now is the support.

New York close chart (https://www.blueberrymarkets.com/lp/dailypriceaction)) above 1.1660/70 could present a buying opportunity for a move back to 1.1830.


Looking at the H1 chart it also looks like it stopped near support, which is additional good thing:
