EUR/USD Short Setup: Leveraging the Retrace for a Downtrend Play

11월 18일

EUR/USD has retraced slightly, offering a good entry point for a short trade. The pair remains bearish, trading below the 200-day MA, with strong resistance near 1.062 holding firm. Targeting the 1.0400 price area, this trade aligns with the broader downtrend, supported by both technical and fundamental factors.

Technical Overview:

The current trend is bearish, with the pair respecting lower highs and significant resistance at the 200-day MA. The initial target is set around 1.0495, with the long-term aim at 1.0400. Price action confirms a sell opportunity as the retrace reaches resistance areas.

Fundamental Context:

The U.S. Dollar has regained strength, driven by optimism around pro-growth policies and a solid DXY rally. Meanwhile, the Fed remains cautious on rate cuts, signaling slower changes ahead. In the Eurozone, the ECB continues a dovish approach, focusing on inflation concerns while speculative short positions on the Euro rise. This reinforces the bearish outlook for EUR/USD. Upcoming speeches and economic data, including Lagarde’s address and U.S. TIC flows, could further influence the pair’s movement.

This short trade aims to capitalize on the retrace within a bearish structure. With clear resistance levels and supportive fundamentals, the setup targets a move toward 1.0400. Risk management remains key as market conditions evolve.

Note: Please remember to adjust this trade idea according to your individual trading conditions, including position size, broker-specific price variations, and any relevant external factors. Every trader’s situation is unique, so it’s crucial to tailor your approach to your own risk tolerance and market environment.

거래청산: 타겟 닿음

After returning to the entry level, EUR/USD resumed its downward move. The position is now 0.9% in profit. As a result, I have moved my stop loss (SL) to breakeven (BE). I also sold half of my position at 1.051 to secure some profits.

I’ll be closely monitoring the position, especially considering the dollar’s movements. Due to platform limitations, I won’t be able to add more detailed trade notes, so I’ll mark this trade as profit reached, but it will continue running until my upper targets are met.

A solid trade, good profits—remember to Pay Yourself!
