Trading Setups / Chart in Focus:
EURUSD
The EURUSD moved modestly lower today from the pin bar / false-break setup that formed on Friday. If the inside bar from last Thursday breaks to the downside we would see a fakey setup trigger. Keep in mind that support is close below near 1.2900, but if this level breaks we could see a larger move to the downside.
