It is natural for traders to fade the trend.<\/p>\n
Seeking value, one expects that elevated prices after a steep uptrend mean overpriced and low prices after a big correction always mean underpriced.<\/p>\n
Looking for value is something natural for the Homo Economicus. When we go to the store, we are looking for discounts.<\/p>\n
But with Markets, discounts don’t always translate well with good trades.<\/p>\n
The steep uptrend in EURUSD from January to the 1st of July brought the pair from 1.01 (close to parity) to 1.18 in a spectacular move.<\/p>\n
Those who bet on a reversal then initially got proven right, with the pair falling 4,000 pips during the same month. But, those who were expecting a full downtrend to form got met with a slap in the face.<\/p>\n
From end-July to the September FOMC meeting, the pair actually consolidated and went to break new yearly highs \u2013 Currently at 1.19188.<\/p>\n
Such a strong uptrend usually leaves banks and algorithms looking for spots to re-enter the trend. These strong flows lead to consolidation and continuation of the trend.<\/p>\n
Now turning to today \u2013\u00a0A bearish divergence double-top made at the new yearly highs is following with what resembles a longer-run correction.<\/p>\n
The lesson ? Strong trends often don’t reverse in one shot \u2013 Double tops tend to be more accurate signals and the same works on all timeframes.<\/p>\n
