Euro resistance

Early this month the Euro made a new high against the US Dollar. But the top had some significance to it, i.e. it the market had a rather significant reaction that was a great short opportunity. In this post I address how this could have been traded for a 150+ points profit. Continue reading →

More Dow Jones
