This bear div on the 1H should send price back to the EMA but the bears are struggling so watch out for the HH.

When struggles are on like this better to sit on hands for a tad.

I just don't see what is going on here at the moment. I will sit it out until things become clearer. Price should be coming down not going up!

H1 is testing a previous EMA swing level and making a double top as tested here before. Could also break it

All I can see is both the weekly and the monthly are testing the EMA.

Nope this is too risky, I will walk away and maybe check in later. It is Friday after all.

A tough week but managed 6.16% so happy with that. Have a good weekend guys. Bank holiday Monday coming up so might be a bit quieter.

I like to review each days action to see where I can improve things, I hope Nala doesnt mind me pitching in with these. I must admit I didn't see this H1 divergence from way back yesterday but Nala did and mentioned price was moving down very slow and to expect a HH. Some of us might have jumped into a short or 2 based on the M5 bear supports circled on the M5 chart on the right. As you can see the M5 was showing bull divergence all the way to the reversal point and should have been a warning to get out of the short trade and standby for a bit. Bearing in mind that's its an NFP day and now not far from the event.

This next H1 divergence would have been a stop loss in my opinion. Dropping to the M5 chart we see bear divergence there as well and probably dive in with a short and the nearest M5 bear support. Not every trade can be a winner but lucky for me i had a pending buy trade in case another HH was about to happen.

Got my +40 pips today. If it was real money I wouldn't be trading on NFP day.

LO opened in a RSI/RSI bull divergence with both m5 and m15 in bull divs. This indicated the bear div you point out will fail to reach ema, thus bears will fail to take out m5 ema swing level on the downside. Hence should continue upwards.
I am noot at the PC so can't show you, sorry.

We would be better off looking for longs today with price above H1 ema, and H1 ema above H4 ema both sloping upwards. (More of a reminder to myself)

Just my two cents of todays action.

Yes I started off today looking for long trades after seeing the M15 bull divergence and I missed the first bull support candle being away from my PC. Then the M15 showed bear divergence suggesting a short is coming. In hindsight maybe I should have been long and then go for a hedge trade.
