Forex Trade Setups Commentary: EURUSD pin bar setup, 2nd December 2011

Trading Setups / Chart in Focus:

EURUSD

The EURUSD struggled today near 1.3550 resistance, forming a bearish rejection pin bar in the process. We would note that the gap open from this week down near 1.3200 support still needs to fill. Also, the market could rotate up before coming off lower, so there’s potential to enter today’s pin on a 50% retrace if it happens next week. We discussed signals in other markets today in our members’ commentary, you can check it out here.
