The awaited election results are keeping most EUR pairs at high levels, the EUR/USD in particular. Good PMI numbers haven't yet given a bullish signal in GBP/USD, which is caught in an upward channel, but at the same time in high levels and with no recent retracement to enter a long trade with confidence. EUR/GBP has been going up but we're still looking for a short trade as technicals support one in the medium-term.

Today, we entered (so far) two trades:

1. a long in USD/JPY, there's lots of buying in the pair but the sharp upward channel, no recent retracement and high levels made the decision riskier, hence a small trading position.

2. a long EUR/NOK, similarly to the USD/JPY there's been a lot consistent buying in the pair. Oil prices are lower and the EUR has bullish sentiment as well. Profit target is high as we'll let--depending on market conditions--this trade play out throughout the month, or untill the OPEC meeting later in May. Trading size small due to the uncertainty and high levels.
