Played 3 profitable positions on AUD/JPY today, one sell and two buys but registered big losses on a bullish bet on USD/MXN.
Preferred pairs and personal sentiment:
EUR/USD - neutral
AUD/JPY - bullish
USD/NOK - neutral
AUD/JPY pair is currently in a bullish momentum within a wide bullish channel (weekly chart) after being rejected by 85.00 level early in the trading day. Will try open a buy position here.
Happy trading!

Overall, a strong USD story with DXY gaining some +0.4%.
Preferred pairs and personal sentiment:
EUR/USD - bullish
USD/NOK - bearish
USD/SEK- bearish
USD/MXN - neutral
On EUR/USD, I'll be checking to see if it breaks bellow 1.2367 because I consider it tested 1.25 level marking a double top pattern.
Happy trading!

Suffered big losses today as USD gained big time today on the back of good US job data.
Preferred pairs and personal sentiment:
EUR/USD - bullish
USD/SEK- bearish
USD/NOK - bearish
GBP/USD - bullish
EUR/USD continues to rise in a broad upside channel. Next week though, all eyes on GBP as interest decision follows.
Happy trading!

Seams like the start of February is good for the Euro zone with economic data coming out slightly hire then anticipated.
Preferred pairs and personal sentiment:
EUR/USD - bullish
USD/NOK - bearish
USD/SEK - bearish
USD/MXN - bearish
EUR/USD pair keeps biting in the 1.24 level with unconvincing rejections. If US data comes out disappointing later today, I expect new upside movement here.
Happy trading!

Expecting high volatility tomorrow. Bulls shy in taking control over USD, bears giving signs of fatigue after the recent days runs. Looking to reduce exposure in anticipation of tomorrow's data releases.
Preferred pairs and personal sentiment:
USD/CHF - bullish
EUR/USD - bearish
USD/NOK - bullish
USD/SEK - bullish
EUR/USD tested again resistance level around 1.245 today but got rejected close to a 50% Fibonacci retracement. Not a big reaction on EUR/USD today after fundamental data release.
Happ…

Generally the USD strengthened today against other currencies probably in anticipation of this weeks data.
Preferred pairs and personal sentiment:
EUR/USD - bearish
USD/ZAR- bullish
USD/NOK - bullish
USD/ZEK - bullish
USD/MXN - bullish
The EUR/USD bearish breakout seam to be confirmed today so I am maintaining the short positions here even if it currently retests the triangle breakout level.
Happy trading!

Fundamental data came marginally disappointing today so a decisive USD move didn't materialized even though it remained generally depressed throughout the day.
Preferred instruments and personal sentiment:
EUR/USD - bearish
USD/NOK - bullish
USD/MXN - bullish
USD/ZAR - bullish
The EUR/USD breakout on the rising wedge identified yesterday didn't become a downward trend yet. However, the pair seam to be forming a head and shoulder pattern or ascending triangle now. My bet is on the head and should…

Today I have continued shorting the USD with substantial pip gains. USD remained under selling pressure throughout the day.
Here's my preferred pairs this week and personal sentiment:
EUR/USD - bullish
USD/CHF - bearish
USD/NOK - bearish
USD/ZAR - bearish
On EUR/USD the ascending triangle breakout was followed by a very strong bullish momentum and reached breakout target around 1.24. Not good moment to enter now. Will wait here to see what tomorrow brings (ECB).
Happy trading!

Bearish pressure on USD manifested also today with the Doller Index (DXY) loosing around 0.25 points. EUR/USD is strong bullish but resistance level around 1.229 keeps holding.
Preferred pairs and personal sentiment:
USD/MXN - bearish
USD/NOK - bearish
USD/ZAR - bearish
Triangle pattern on EUR/USD hourly chart with bullish breakout after bullish trend. Alligator gives signs of waking up as well so possible uptrend resuming here but there's strong resistance around 1.229.
Happy trading!
