My favourite pair has been really nasty this week. Only Monday provided some great short setups, but I didn't have the chance to trade on that day. Tuesday was a complete mess. Of course, there were some little scalps, but nothing worth taking.
We are having a lot of speeches this week, which I believe are causing that consolidation. Furthermore, the Monthly close is coming, so the market is slowing down just before that. Keep those factors in mind.
As for the markup, I am expecting the market to play within the range probably. We have a sell and a buy area. I am favoring sells much more, because we are in a downtrend! So letting the market show me what it wants to do and only then I will strike.
No trades still for me... It's painful and really challenging, but as a professional, you have to know when to engage and when to observe!
Let me know how you find this week so far!
