Price has moved a lot the last few trading days and it's best to protect some profits in case it rebounds.

Price is stalling here a bit and this locks in about half profit while trying to stay above recent support/resistance.

SL adjustment: 0.6940

Price may be preparing for a pullback here. This makes since considering the last retracement was fairly deep. Currently, price is holding near the minimum projected target (1.272 fib extension). If this level holds, the SL will exit the trade with most of the profits intact.
