I took profits on my EURUSD long position as the pair hit my first target. I otherwise am looking for fresh opportunities to get short AUDUSD.
Three days ago I went long EURUSD from $1.2870 and targeted reaction highs of $1.2960. My limit order got taken out this morning, and I'm now flat with a modest profit.
I was otherwise short AUDUSD from several weeks ago, but the pair's rally above $1.0270 stopped me out of the position. I managed to book a respectable profit, but it's frustrating to see that the AUDUSD has subsequently turned lower.
I'll look to sell AUDUSD on either a rally towards $1.04 or a break below the $1.0150 mark. I don't like reward/risk at current price levels given the risk that the pair could hold above recent lows.
I remain long USDJPY though I can't say I fully recommend joining me here: the pair seems incapable of holding gains. That said, USDJPY position remains in force as long as the pair trades above ¥76. Profit targets start at ¥80 on the USDJPY.
