The question is whether this is a fakeout or breakout downward. If the latter, the potential drop is 929 pips, the width of the triangle. That would make for interesting news. Before it got there it would find strong support at 1.0139/10 (two prior touches on the daily chart) and 1.0070 (uptrend line on the weekly and monthly chart). The momentum, as represented by RSI, is fairly good. What I mean here is that it hasn’t plunged and there is some positive divergence on the hourly chart. We’re just going to have to watch and wait on this one but I take the break of the trend line seriously. Currently, it’s trying to base on the shorter term charts. A re-test of the line at 1.0275 and a turn down would definitely signal a short. Reinforcing evidence would be behavior of the USD index to below 79.51.
Here’s the daily chart:

My purpose in writing this blog is to show you how one trader, me, makes trading decisions and survives while trading Forex. One of the biggest problems I had when I first started trading was trying to apply the “rules” to actual trades. Another was the psychology—limiting losses and letting profits run. If you study my blog, you’ll see how I deal with both those issues. So my writings are not trade recommendations but rather educational in purpose. You have to decide on your own approach to trading. Remember that trading is risky.
