The dollar has been weakening for, well, the whole year really. These trade setups are based on a reversal or at least a retracement on that trend. The reason I’m looking to take these trades now is based just on the fact that I believe the US stock market to be oversold and I don’t think the DOW is going to be able to stay above 10,000. Also, pairs such as the USDCAD are showing some dollar bullishness. Obviously, because these are counter-trend trades, lots of care should be taken when executing these, and I won’t be taking large positions on any of these trades until I see solid dollar movement to the upside.
Charts below show the daily trend and the hourly entries. Stops would be placed above the recent highs and lows for these pairs. A close below the green lines are entry points for me.
Update: Unfortunately I was not at my trade station when these pairs broke below their 15min entry points, will have to wait for a retracement and see if the opportunity for short term entry comes up. However, daily and hourly entry points for these trades are still valid, waiting for a break or bounce.
Update 11/1: While price did break down below the daily and hourly trendlines for these trades, I’m not convinced that this has not been a false break due to volatility with dollar. At the moment, I’m looking for a trend continuation trade on the dollar pairs.
