At 64.9, the Michigan consumer sentiment index for February hits its highest level in eight months as falling energy prices eased fears about inflation. This is a positive signal as it is a widely-known gauge of personal consumer confidence in the US economic activity. From a technical standpoint, the significant breakout of the supply zone at the 131.000 area last week was an emphatic bullish signal buttressing the idea that sellers might have lost the momentum; but following the retest of structure, price action was caught within a consolidation phase above the key level (131.000) to emphasize the level of indecision in this market. In this video, we looked at the possibilities and trading options we have from the current market structure as we look out for breakouts either way in the coming week for trading opportunities.

So, the bullish momentum we joined last week continues as the week has started on a bullish note hereby breaking out of the new resistance level for the week at the 131.900 level. We shall be using the channel (131.900 and 131.400) and trendline as a guide for trading activiies for this week. For us who have a buy position over the weekend, lets secure the current buy position as we look forward for more opportunities.

Good morning

Trade active:
A fresh look at the 1H Time frame reveals the appearance of buying pressure around a level (131.800) that was broken to the upside during yesterday's trading session and this has a tendency of respecting this level in anticipation of another wave of bullish momentum. However, if price action breakdown/retests this level - we will have no choice but to add to our existing sell position. I will share a 15-minute outlook for buying opportunities from this current structure soon.

Trade closed manually:
Price action takes out the last 2 buy positions with a small profit as we return to the status quo. Please note that a breakdown/retest of the trendline that shares a confluence with the 133.500 level will welcome selling opportunities and the appearance of buying pressure around this level on the lower timeframe will have a high chance of bullish momentum. The expectations around the 133.500 level make this zone a critical juncture in this market. Update coming up soon.

Trade closed: target reached:
With over 800 pips in profit (multiple entries); this is our most profitable trade for the week as price action hits the TP target at the 135.000 Level. We continue to monitor price action and how the price reacts with the 135.000 zone will determine what our next line of action will be. Discussed this at length during our live session (watch the video replay on my channel)
