H1 Status Update

Below is the updated version of my shark pattern view. I also included a potential 5-0 if everything plays out perfectly. But also notice the potential "Inverted Head & Shoulders" pattern.

Long story short: I am looking for buy setups once/if price drops back into 1.1220 area. The lower the better.

*The key phenomenon to watch is that no H1 candle should close back below the RED TL. That would indicate bear power kicking back in and I would stay on sidelines until I see bull power coming back.

Marking 1.12275 as nearest support on M15..

Nearest targets: 1.1236 and 1.1241

*London opening price on my broker is: 1.12315 and currently there is a bear-bull fight in that region.

Non Farm number today could be the signal that gives direction for next week. This crawling retrace feels well hedged. H4 EUR looks soft but we could still see a dash for 1.12500 to flush out KLOS shorts before a dive down back into the range - (upper 1.12500 lower 1.12000). IMO.

Intraday charts printed a "higher high" and a "higher low"... together with the possibility of an Inverted H&S forming on H1, I would put my money on bulls... In other words, I will try to buy dips and lows once/if NFP turbulence kicks in.. Happy trading to all..

*It is always helpful to check weekly levels before major events and news. Below are my weekly levels. If Friday candle and therefore weekly candle CLOSES below 1.1210 it would mean bearish continuation. Otherwise we keep buying dips.

Good morning all.

Hope you are well

Currently in 11 pips profit on EURUSD
From experience, would you advise closing the trade before the usd news in an hour or so?

Kind regards

Close it, and dont take the risk unless you are trading a specific NFP strategy. Might aswel close ur trade now as the markets are acting pathetic - keep your profits.

Hello,

First thing, when you say EUR/USD or for ANY pair, the first currency to be mentioned is always the Base currency. So for USDJPY, USD is the base and JPY is the quote. This is standard practice.

Second, when u place an order it is always on the Base currency. Meaning that when you place a "Sell" order you are "Selling EUR for USD" and when you buy you are "Buying EUR with USD". Which means that if there is good news for USD then you should be "Selling EUR for USD" as you are believe the USD will get stronger due to the news so you would want to jump from EUR to USD. And the reverse if the USD news is bad.

I hope this clarifies things.

Clarifying EURUSD and USD correlation!

There are 3 cases when you trade the EURUSD based on USD news or EUR news (not 2 as many would think):

Imagine a floor trader screaming. Here are the cases he can scream for:

1) BUY USD....
2) SELL USD...
3) HE DOESN'T SCREAM.. HE WAITS..

Now based on these 3 situations as a EURUSD trader you must act like this for each case:
1) BUY USD

  1. Hmmmm.. is the EURO going sideways or losing value? Yes? Then SELL EURUSD!
  2. Hmmmm.. is the EURO also gaining value too? Yes? Then do nothing!

2) SELL USD

  1. Hmmmm.. is the EURO going sideways or gaining value? Yes? Then BUY EURUSD!
  2. Hmmmm.. is the EURO losing value too? Yes? Then do nothing!

3) HE WAITS

  1. You can still sell or buy EURUSD based on EURO news.

Many traders make a big mistake exactly with the missing 3rd part when trading based on USD news. Now you hopefully know better.

Interesting perspective, thanks Ata.

I myself am out of all trades prior to this NFP, I only took small short-term trades throughout the day, nothing to write home about
