Last trade of the week - it has been a good week
Today there wasn't any real news that could drive price. Sentiment started off in the EU session with dollar strength but this was in my opinion driven by position squaring for the G7 and weekend. The $ in my view has run it's course for now and there really isn't anything new to drive it further. It has had a good run for several weeks now. There has been a lot of hawkish talk from ECB members and analyst chit chat about changes to policy leaning towards tightening. I believe the risk is skewed to the upside for the EURO at this time.
Given there isn't any news driving sentiment today, EURUSD presented an opportunity to get in on a technical level and leverage the ECB sentiment and upcoming conference next week. I don't plan on holding this trade i made a short while ago over the weekend but i do believe price will give back some of this mornings move. Currently up over 20 pips with a break even stop (not keen on risking anything more on this as it is a pure sentiment play
