Its March and the most vital month to all currency trading. Perfectly accurate Models were updated to reflect the second March since 2018.

A review from March to May 2018 was seen in the 35 posted trades and many targets hit perfectly for 700 ish pips.
Written here before to the 2 year cycle to currency pair prices as the cycle ends in March. Why March is due to sufficient distance to currency prices. Distance as mentioned before to currency and stock prices are represented as 300 and 600 Pips and Points. Distance is the most deviated points allowed for prices to travel in 1 direction.
Currency markets for March 2020 achieved its allowable distance and now prices must rightsize to align properly. Rightsize may take a full 3 months but depends which currency pair and when targets achieve. EUR/AUD's 2 trades for 700 pips lasted 7 weeks to offer what;s ahead.
