Yesterday BOE confirmed what expected about the interest rate decision and market quickly recovered a multiday sell off and tested the low of a 5 months range. The question is "will we stay out of range"?? I won't consider the short side, my only point is that if we re-enter the monthly range we might expect some moves higher and we might have some great risk...

This might be important for next few days. EURO/GBP took out a 4 days rally in just one day, This is something significant and might be the beginning of a new...
Keeping perspective will help us take a reasonable trade that might last a couple of days. We are trading between two ranges but "conceptually" we are trading above the lower range of ES! Yesterday (10 January) was crucial! traders interpreted the late Monday selloff as a bearish sign and kept selling the market without realizing that big hands were just...
