Forex Signal Update
The FX Leaders Team finished with two straight winners in what was a quiet start to the week.
EUR/CHF – Active Signal
Our EUR/CHF signal took a turn for the worse yesterday and dumped hard. We’ve seen this before so all is not lost. We remain long here.
Oil – Pending Signal
Oil remains above the $56 handle and had a bit of a mixed session yesterday. Price bounced around and settled around where it began. We are still waiting on a long entry here.
Cryptocurrency Update
Bitcoin has broken down from the $3,800 region where price has been coiling, which is a bit of a bearish sign as it means the sellers have stepped up first.
When price coils and volatility contracts for a period of time, that can often lead to an outsized move.
The FX Leaders Team are currently short and looking for a move lower.
