EURUSD—resistance

The Euro touched a 1.4287 high late last night, just above the weekly 10 EMA of 1.4261. As I wrote on Monday, the weekly 10 EMA has been support since early March. Now it looks as though it may be serving as resistance.

On the three-hour chart, the pair might be in an ABC correction beginning with the low of 1.4049, going to A at 1.4244 and B at 1.4124. The potential price for C is 1.4245, 1.4319, or 1.4440. Of the three, I like 1.4319 (where C equals A) since that equates with 1.4326 which would be the top of the rectangle. This is also near a .382 retracement of the move down from 1.4548.

Support is at 1.4121 and 1.4049.

I went long yesterday at 1.4188. Obviously, I have moved my stop to breakeven.

Here's a three-hour 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.
