Forex Signals Brief for Apr 17: A Falling USD Keeps the Majors in Focus

Despite what might be considered good news, the USD continues to fall. The Syrian conflict got shrugged off and we had some strong retails sales data. But the USD kept of falling. That meant the majors were strong and that trend looks like it will be continuing.

The FX Leaders Team had a relatively quiet start to the week, going one and one. We grabbed a winner in gold, while our EUR/USD ended up in the red.

We are currently long the AUD/USD and USD/JPY. While we adjusted our stop loss on our GBP/USD position.

Bitcoin has been strong and while it has pulled back a touch is still holding above $8,000.

Like I mentioned the majors are busy at the moment so keep the forex signals page open as there is opportunity around at the moment.
