EUR / USD - 10 Year Bear - SHORT (ish)

Updated
Yes, this is a long-term view, but to understand any successful trade, you must look at the big picture and understand the underlying pressure on why the current trend exists and where the final target might be. The Euro / USD has been in a long-term Bear channel since 2008, and as far as I'm concerned, we have a long way to go yet, but unless you're already in this trade as I am, wait for a pull-back, especially with all the news coming out from Wednesday, until then, I'm bearish the Euro with my target at 1.16150, but there will be a lot of buyers around 1.7, so this isn't a trade for the faint hearted, reduce your risks down there.


Note
Look at that long-term bear channel, a beautiful pullback to 61.8% fib and we're now on the downward run, but I don't think it will be too far, look at the rising RSI, we may move down to 1.7 - 1.6 then back up to 1.21 - 1.22 and that will bring in a lot of short action.

Note
Nice start to the open, small gap down in our trading direction, we shall see what the state of play is after the Asian session.

Woke up with the pair in a nice decline and more profit, beautiful move to the downside, whose in the trade?

18/05/2018 08:34 @1.18148 and I've added to the position afterwards, very profitable already. Target at 1.17 - 1.16 beware of 1.17, lots of bulls on the hunt down there
Note
Serious downtrend, lots of profit as we go, now. Caution at 1.7, lots of bulls, if they lose, we're going to 1.16152

Very close to our target, patience
Trade closed: target reached
First profits taken down @1.172 I'm expecting a pullback up to @1.19645 or further towards the edge of our long-term channel @1.22, either way, I will evaluate and update and re-enter another short position. Happy hunting.
Note
We're still bearish the Euro and looking for price action sell signals at resistance positions after a pullback to the moving average between @1.8 and 1.75

Note
70 pips in profit so far on this pair, Fed increased interest rate made little difference, it only fuelled the $ shorts.
