Spotted a setup I could trade after the NFP release! What do you think of this forex trade?
I’m still dollar bullish in the long-term, but I have a feeling that many dollar bulls are ready for some major profit-taking. After all, the dollar was one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) gainers of 2014. And with recent jobs-related reports surprising to the downside and the Greek government working hard at convincing everyone that their plans will stick, dollar bears just might have their opportunity to attack.
EUR/USD‘s 1-hour chart is also supporting a possible uptrend. Aside from a rising trend line, the 100 and 200 SMAs have also crossed the upside. Not only that, but Stochastic is also about to hit the oversold region.
I don’t plan on entering at the market though. I’ll likely wait for a break above the 1.1500 major psychological area before I put on any orders. And, since I’m mostly dollar bullish, I’ll also watch the trade closely in case the euro bears come back with a vengeance.
I’m planning on risking 0.5% of my account above 1.1500, with a stop loss just below the psychological area. I’m aiming for at least the 1.1750 area, but I’m also willing to close early if the fundamental landscape once again favors the euro bulls.How about you? Do you have any open positions or trade ideas on EUR/USD? What do you think of this setup?
XOXO,
Huck
