Daily Forex price action analysis – 2016-02-02

Posted on

Price action trading is not always fun and exciting. Early in the week things can be slow as it usually takes a few days for good setups to form. This means that Tuesday can be one of the quietest days of the week for me, and this Tuesday is no exception. But, I have always tried my best to show the realistic side of trading, so below is some realistic analysis.

There are only a few interesting things happening. Both GBP/USD and GBP/JPY are testing their support areas, 1.4360 for GBP/USD, and 172.90 for GBP/JPY. We might see a continuation to the bullish trend on both these pairs this week.

The USD/JPY short trade from Monday is moving quite nicely, it’s a retrace from a new based move, and its heading to its target quickly. In the analysis I talk a little about news based reversal trades and why they are so good.

Last weeks live price action trade

Last week I took a bad reversal trade on GBP/JPY. One of the realities of trading is that your trades do not always go well. While the setup I took looked good, it ended up failing. I recorded the trade and you can watch it here.
