EURUSD Gives Text Book Sell Signal

February 23rd, 2009

The sell signal EURUSD gave this AM was good enough to be on a postcard.  It showed up cleanest on the 15 & 60 minute charts, but this 240 minute gives us a nice snap-shot too — see chart below. We had a shooting star right on 130.00 to cap off the counter-trend move which bubbled up last week following a test of the Dec low.        

Markets work best when we are seeing both sides, which means they are facilitating trade. And in my opinion there are no better set-ups than getting an extended counter-trend move up to a long-term down trend line, and then getting a clean signal, which is what we see on the chart below.

It can’t be stated enough in trading that you have to see both sides of the market! 

It also helps to know the why and how of both leading and lagging technical indicators.
