Just read an article saying long GBP and EU longs were expected to unwind later this week. Inflows of foreign capital are beginning to pour into U.S. funds.
Has it started?

How are you doing, fellows?

Question: Did anybody long GU from 6380+ ?
If yes, what did trigger that trade?

I'll appreciate any help.

I did, but I only have 1 soldier left. The triger was the h1 hammer we got on the 02 June at 5am est. It was near the opening price of that h1 which was 6479.
Just digging in the trenches like everyone else!

Thanks, EO
Let me re-phrase it.
Even the trend was pointed down, you assumed that 6379 will hold as support, and took the risk with long.
And you consider that todays drop didn't override yesterdays PA, right?
