Where We Stand
Entry vs. Current Price: I placed a sell at 1.27752, and the current price is now 1.27982—about 0.0023 (or roughly 23 pips) above my entry. In other words, you’re in a slight, manageable loss.
Technical Context:
The moving averages (like the DEMA at 1.2953 and EMA at 1.30089) and the SAR (at 1.29789) remain well above the current price, which means the broader technical landscape still supports a bearish bias.
The directional indicators are favoring the downtrend (with minus DI significantly above plus DI) and even though the RSI is very low (around 20.4, indicating oversold conditions), in strong downtrends oversold readings can persist without triggering a full reversal.
The high ADX-related values (DX ~60.95) further suggest that the trend is robust, even if there’s a brief pullback.
Recent Price Action: On the daily chart, recent swings show that minor retracements can occur as the market digests news and key levels. The current price movement to 1.27982 may simply be a short-term bounce rather than a change in sentiment.
Fundamental Environment: With upcoming news (like the FOMC minutes on April 9th and additional US/UK data later in the week) adding volatility, the market might briefly test higher levels. However, these fundamentals haven’t yet overturned the prevailing technical context.
What to Consider
Hold with Caution: Given that the overall bearish structure, along with key technicals (moving averages, SAR, and directional indicators), still supports a downtrend, keeping the trade is reasonable. The slight pullback above your entry can be viewed as a temporary retracement.
Risk Management:
Watch Key Levels: Monitor if the price decisively holds above a certain level (say, if it pushes well above 1.2800 with strong momentum). That could signal the potential for a sustained reversal—in which case I might need to exit or partially close your position.
Upcoming Fundamental News: The scheduled data releases can spike volatility. Be prepared for erratic price action around these events. It might be wise to reduce my position size or set alerts to protect your downside if the trade starts to move against you.
Recommendation
I lean toward keeping the trade because:
The overall technical setup (moving averages, SAR, and directional movement) remains bearish.
The recent pullback appears to be minor and doesn’t breach key resistance levels that might signal a reversal.
RSI oversold conditions in a strong downtrend aren’t uncommon, so while they may indicate potential for a bounce, they don’t necessarily negate the downtrend.
