Default Trade Update

After a few days of slow market movement NZDUSD finally hit TP1 @ 0.5800. Stop Loss for TP2 is now place above the last high @ 0.6040. I might close out the 2nd order soon because of NFP later today.

I will be entering short @ 23:00 eastern if the present 4H bar holds as an engulfing bearish candle. The overall trend is down, fib. 38.2 retracement and also past S now R. Stop Loss will be placed above the previous high.
See chart below. Audusd and usdjpy also has similar formation.

I didnt get in this trade last night because I didnt like how the bar close with a long wick. It rallied and is now testing a past support at a trend line. I will be entering after the close of the present candle which has formed an evening star on the 4H time frame.
See chart below.
