EURUSD—met H&S price target

Euro met the head and shoulders price target of 1.4419. In doing so, it has dropped to a low of 1.4402, breaking below both a descending triangle on the hourly chart and a short-term uptrend line. My short position, even from the poorer entry of 1.4581, has done well and is still on. Still, this is near support so some profit-taking at +170 pips is in order. A .382 pullback of the current move up was at 1.4419 and the monthly pivot was at 1.4445.

The next target is the .50 retracement at 1.4334. A close for the week below 1.4378 is bearish.

Here is the hourly 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.
