Sunday Early Session Trade

This was another fantastic trade using the RSI(14) overbought signal on both the 5 & 15-min charts. Price moved quickly upward when the market opened, most likely attributed to the strong DOW showing on Friday. I just needed to wait for price to show exhaustion and look for a signal to enter on.

This trade worked out quite well. It was a short play at close to the Asian session lunch hour. Volatility has been picking up nicely near 8-9:00pm PT into the London open. I opened the position on an overbought signal from the RSI(14) on both the 5 & 15-min charts. Closed it at +82 when the RSI(14) reached and oversold condition on the 5-min chart.

It's been a while since I posted anything. Sorry. Most blogs start off with good intentions to keep them up to date, but when you don't get any comments you tend to think it's only for yourself. On to the trade. It's the typical setup with a signal alerting of an overbought condition after a strong move up for most of the Asian session. The question was whether price was looking exhausted at the R1 pivot or was it going to head higher to possibly the 38% fib at 161.35 or even as high as the weekly low at 162.15(sort of far away)? The RSI(14) on the 15-min gave it away with divergence. This means the RSI was at higher level for the earlier spike high and a lower level for this trade when price was higher. This is classic TA(technical analysis), mainly used with the MACD indicator though with other indicators as well. Entry was a short position at 161.18. Bought back(scaled out) 2/3 of position for +53 @ 160.65. The trade is still running with a target(monthly low) of 160
