Recap

With blips of volatility last week, the markets seem to be more promising for coming weeks in terms of longer term moves. The fundamental decision by ECB to go negative with deposit interest rates is likely to send EUR much lower from where we are at the moment. As far as the setups from the last week, trend continuation long play on CAC40 got filled @4497's level and stopped me out almost immediately for -24 pips, however 4 hours candle closed @4497 level sharp, that lead me to long re-entry from there. The rest is a history as anticipated target 3 was hit by the end of the week for +100 pips, netting about +75 pips net in total with initial loser. This trade had far from ideal execution, but these are the dangers having positions exposure around major events like we had last week. Other setups did not come into play with EUR/USD and GBP/USD setups coming very close to completion, before moving the anticipated direction. See the list of events that can have potential impact across the assets this week.

The only potential setup seem to be  short play on Aussie currency at the moment. We are currently at the levels close to BAT pattern completion @0.9386's. Will be looking to sell this level if we will get there.
