EUR/USD this week to its weekly range trades from 1.0283 to 1.0147 or 136 pips. Today's range: 1.0285 to 1.0155 or 130 pips. Yet another dead EUR/USD week is upon us. The benefit is day trades all week are located within the parameters of 1.0285 to 1.0155.
Today's topside EUR/USD for example is located at 1.0258 and 1.0262. Far short to 1.0285. Bottom EUR/USD 1.0154 and 1.0172.
Today's Inflation trade appears from yesterday afternoon to be a non event as today's prices lack range ability which means Inflation is released as expected and prices trade in tiny ranges.
The trade strategy is short highs and long bottoms. Same strategy as if today wasn't Inflation day.
