USDCHF Signaled at the Wrong Time? Nope!

A Member asked a legitimate question: "On 24 September 2019 at 17:20, USDCHF moved into the strong sell mode. Looking at the candle chart, you will be selling at the end of  the move down.

Markets are really trying to find the balance between buyers and sellers. Period. So if you learn anything here - take this away -> MARKETS WANT BALANCE.

Sentiment Analysis week of 1 SEP 2019
