Trading Setups / Chart in Focus:
EURUSD
The EURUSD bullish pin bar strategy off support that we discussed in yesterday’s commentary saw price move significantly higher today. We can also see price broke and closed above 1.3200 resistance which was the upper boundary of the recent consolidation range. The door is now open for a re-test of the next key resistance level near 1.3500 and traders can look to buy pullbacks into support pending price action confirmation.
Silver
The spot silver market bullish pin bar setup that we discussed in yesterday’s commentary has seen price move higher today and we can also see there was an opportunity for a 50% entry of yesterday’s pin bar as price retraced today before moving higher. Note that today’s 50% entry provided for a very tight stop placement below $33.00 which made for a better risk reward ratio. The next key resistance is near $35.20.
