Today is Wednesday, and so far, I haven't initiated any new trades for this week. My decision to stay on the sidelines is due to the absence of setups that align with my trading strategy. However, I'm still holding onto my Nasdaq trade, which has been quite stubborn. It hasn't reached either my target or my stop-loss. This situation has prompted me to exercise patience and closely monitor the trade.
Last week, I made a strategic move by taking partial profits on my Nasdaq trade, locking in gains when the market was favorable. I managed to secure over 500 ticks in profits before the market appeared to stagnate, preventing further progress.
As for gold, I've been keeping a close eye on it. The interesting development is that the previously formidable resistance at 1948 has been breached. This could potentially open up opportunities for buying into the market. However, I'm not in a rush to jump in. Instead, I'm considering a more cautious approach. I might look for rejection candles or other technical signals to confirm the validity of this breakout. It's possible that the breach could be a fake-out, and I want to be sure before making any significant moves in the gold market.
