Crazy ?

Who would think of shorting EURUSD in the light of the last 2 days ? You'd have to be crazy, right ?

Well, maybe not.

This pair is 2 days and (a massive) 430 pips from the 5m 800 sma, which is a long time (statistically) and nearly 5 times the average distance it moves before returning; that's nearly 3 standard deviations !

...Also, the pair has come up against strong historical resistance at 1.3680 and the Daily 800 sma.

...The 1H MACD is divergent...


...The 5 minute chart is forming a 'Head and Shoulders'...

And tomorrow is Friday... the day of reversals.

I wouldn't mind betting it will re-test that resistance at the Asian open. But, whatever, I'm going to be ready to short it on a strong 5min close below that neck-line.

With respect to profit target, I don't think the 5min 800 sma is realistic, but the measured potential of a reversal against the neckline coincides with recent support at 1.3518

... which is still 130 pips from where it is now and presenting of a very juicy risk to reward ratio.

I might just have to stay up for this one !
