Hey Traders, based on the last strong NFP numbers that were out of expectations with 517,000 new jobs created in January, retail sales smashing expectations of 1.9% with 3%, CPI and other strong USD data we can notice that the market is pricing more rate hikes, and we expect the USD to continue outperforming until the next fed decision on March that will clarify more the USD path. in case of a breakout on AUDUSD chart i would monitor a retrace around 0.685 zone.
i would also like to give a risk management advice to traders, i personally risk between 0.5% to 2% per trade so even if i'm in the wrong path that would take me a bunch of consecutive losing trades to get my account marginated which is too far. so for example if you risk 1% per trade that will take you more than a hundred consecutive losing trades to lose your account. but if you risk 10 times the recommended amount for example a 20% risk per trade that means 4-5 consecutive losing trades will knock your account out from the market.
Please feel free to ask me questions regarding fundamentals and technicals in the comment section!
Trade safe, Joe.
