Hello traders
I don't have a lot to say today. Big surprise.
I broke two cardinal rules of trading when I entered into my short position. I was mentally anxious about my upcoming spine surgery and I did not do my homework properly. Despite this poorly timed short entry, I reconsidered and kept my stop at 1.0545(give the 1.0534 high some breathing room). So, still in business.
The technical indicators tell the story in this post. I believe that this was nothing but a technical correction.
Fundamentally, nothing has changed. The ECB is expected to cut and the FOMC expected to hold. Since the FOMC has the first opportunity to present to the markets, watch Chair Powell's press conference, no matter which time zone you are in. Likewise with the ECB 17 hours later.
On the home front, Trump has started his "mass deportations" in Chicago and slapped tariffs on Colombia. Stock up on your coffee beans folks. Oil is a two trade, crude from Colombia, refined petroleum to Colombia, so I am not sure how that will be affected. Our esteemed oil traders on TV will have the lowdown. This will stoke the inflation fears again which benefits the USD.
So, buckle up. It is going to be a wild ride this week.
Best of luck.
