Default Immediate thoughts on EUR/USD

I sold the Euro about an hour ago and was targeting the 155.22 area because this looked like a logical place to bounce. But looking at it further, I cant help but think the euro dives off a cliff any minute now with 154 area the possible target, because the technicals looks exactly the same as they did on 7/29 at about 8:00. Im on a 60 min chart with ema at 5/13/62. Any immediate thoughts on this one? Im pretty new to forex and have a habit of getting myself in trouble with ideas like this.

You need to watch out for oil price. Oil price has a lot of influence on EURUSD these days.

I agree, oil has a lot to do with everything. I just dont understand....is oil moving the dollar or is the dollar moving oil? Everything seems really out of wack
everywhere. Hopefully we see a top in USD soon and go back to normal. LoL

I sold the Euro a couple hours ago. I just wanted thoughts on the set up. I was hoping to take a profit at 5530, but there price is in a down channel, of which it touched the top line today. Bottom line in the 1.53-54 area. Stochastics oversold already so I should be taking profit but the set up looks the same as 7/29 when it started to dive from the top of channel at a very oversold stoch area.

I dont see the dollar stopping until 1.45 I understand I lot of people wanted to see the dollar go down. When I said before fundamental trading was gambling to me this what I meant. So in theory if someone went long on the Eur/Usd in Feb held it. They would be on the hole right now. The dollar is getting stronger fast. The Euro can t keep up. On Oanda forum. I guy told some fresh trader when in doubt go long on Eur/Usd its always gonna go up.

I think a rebound for the Euro wont happen this month. That is just my opinion so dont listen to me I blew 3 accounts fundamental trading.

That would depend when you went long in feb., as it ranged from 1.4244 up to 1.5240, and not to mention the roll-over you would have made between now and then.

I do believe we may be heading further south yet, i wouldnt be surprised to see 1.4400 before a significant recovery.
