Hey Fellas,

Well, I think it’s fair to say that last week was a wild ride in the forex markets. The FX Leaders Team had a steady stream of winning trades, with a couple of days of big action to round out the week.

Thursday was the highlight as we put together a massive day, collecting on seven huge winning signals. Then on Friday a news story came out alleging wrongdoings by US President Donald Trump with his relationship with Russia during the campaign.

Although the story was not quite accurate, a USD sell-off hit, before markets promptly rebounded. This caused a couple of stop-outs which was annoying. However, the guys managed to navigate the waters really well to finish three and four on the day, which was very strong.

Overall the week was a very positive one for our signals. Volatility is always a good thing for traders as it gives us an opportunity and there looks to be more on the horizon.

As it stands, we are sitting in a long-term sell signal in the EUR/USD. We are also eyeing off potential entries in the EUR/JPY and GBP/JPY to get the ball rolling.

US President Donald Trump’s tax bill is making progress and that is going to be a big driver of USD strength this week. We also have non-farm payrolls on Friday which will bring the action. Arslan will have more on this in his weekly economic outlook and trade setups, so keep an eye on that.

GBP/JPY- Are We Due For a Retrace?

The GBP was a really strong performer last week and we have pushed higher against most other currencies. The GBP/JPY is right at the top of the range and the price action now looks a little bearish. If we can get our price we are looking to short this one.
