Trading Setups / Chart in Focus:

EURUSD:

The EURUSD moved into resistance near 1.3775 today and formed an excellent 1hr pin bar setup off this confluent level. We discussed the possibility of a quality intra-day sell signal forming in this resistance area in Friday’s commentary, today’s setup is a good example of exactly what we were looking for.

This quality price action setup was posted in the EURUSD thread in our member’s forum before it came off to the downside by one of our many valued members; “simplistic”.
