EUR/USD – LONG (BUY)

Updated
EUR/USD are showing clear CYCLE UPTREND with an ENGULFING BULL CANDLE on the monthly chart.

The WEEKLY DEMAND ZONE was retested (2nd test) which created a clear uptrend.

The DAILY TREND-LINE indicates a clear PRIMARY UPTREND and this is the trend-line that we will be trading. (see trend-line 4 to 5 on chart)

Intermediate Elliot Waves will occur during this trend. The Intermediate Elliot Wave is currently showing a downwards trend, you can wait until it reaches the DAILY TREND-LINE and creates a trend reversal again or enter this trade immediately, it is up to you.

The Weekly trend is Bearish
The Daily trend is Bearish
The H4 trend is Bearish

So we are going against the general trend due to various other factors showing a PRIMARY UPTREND which is the trend-line we are trading. (see trend-line 4 to 5 on chart)


Institutional Order Flow Areas (aka Supply & Demand):
Demand – Fairly Large amount of Institutional Buy Orders
Supply - Fairly Large amount of Institutional Sell Orders

The weekly demand area (green area) is showing clear resistance with 2 tests unable to break through.
The weekly supply area have only been tested once without being able to break through.

When: Wednesday 17 July (05h00 NZ time)

As head of the central bank, which controls short term interest rates, he has more influence over the nation's currency value than any other person. Traders scrutinize his public engagements as they are often used to drop subtle clues regarding future monetary policy
