Channel and Drop

Short
OANDA:EURUSD   Euro / U.S. Dollar
I've seen this one too many times...

Price is making a tight climbing channel, but eventually once it reaches near the top of the last highs, it will fall out (usually)

Looking at about 4.75 r, using a 15 pip stop, order placed at 1.07193, 1.07347 for the stop, and target the larger channel line from the previous downtrend, 1.06289 or around the last area, as the longer price takes to get there, the deeper it should go.

Using the middle area between the two most recent highs for entry, and stopping above the highest high made, expecting a longer term double top style pattern to be formed and pushed down into the lower depth of the daily level finally.
Comment:
Misunderstood the "screenshot" settings, this must not be the screenshot that set references.

Using a sell limit at 1.07193

Stop set : 1.073347

Target (roughly) 1.063-2

I'll have to be sure to use the short/long tool for limit orders in the future
Comment:
Channel is a little steep, connect the rising highs of this leg and clone to the bottom, makes a better rising channel and lines up with how fast id expect price to rise with lack of volume until the London session, when entry should be expected
Comment:
Order adjustment to 1.0727, stop at 1.0743.

Looks like a double bottom is forming at a key level, anticipating the w pattern being formed will fail at the top

Strong rejection, a stop out does not end the idea, would still look short if hit
Comment:
Getting follow through on price action, current target still 1.0628, but if it doesn't snap down there, tomorrow the target will go a little further. Currently set for 6.39 r
Comment:
Leaving everything alone...

Looking a small term amount back, this does look to favor long entry, but, context tells another storyline

Taking more data from the left we have a triple tap top that's formed with the third tap just under the stop, but further back we have a retest of the channel that did not break the high before coming back down again, despite trying a few times. The current action does not change my mind because of the larger picture, so just letting it go.

Target may remain, as it's just short of another key level, which I would expect retrace/retest to the 660s-80s before finally dropping out to the 520-30s
Comment:
Above is a good reason to think most longs will fail and trade should be good, everything looks good for now....
Comment:
The 1.071 level has become extremely relevant again despite being cut through before. I would expect this level to hold price down, and even a liquidity run should dip back below.

Should price come above and look to hold, stop will get moved to break even and trade will continue to be held expecting the sellers to continue coming in, but cleared if they run out of power
Comment:
18 hour day finally caught up to me... Trade still going but don't have any faith in it, at this point. Letting it go
Trade closed: stop reached:
Stopped out
