Short NZDUSD for Bear Continuation pattern

Short
mashru Updated   
FX:NZDUSD   New Zealand Dollar / U.S. Dollar

As can be seen from the chart, NZDUSD has formed a flag within a larger bearish downtrend - and hence seems to be a bear flag formation, targeting the length of the flag stick at around 0.71 levels.

While the ideal entry point should be closer to the 7280 region, we are initiating a short position with 50% capital at current levels of ±0.7245 and leaving a limit for the balance 50% at 0.7275, targeting 0.7110. The stop-loss for the trade would be beyond the supply zone between 7280 and 7300 at 0.7310.

Sell Entry : 0.7245 (with another sell order at 0.7275)
Target : 0.7110
Stop : 0.7310
Trade closed: stop reached:

NZD pushed higher and took out our stop at 0.7310

However, as can be seen from the above chart, we are still in the bear flag formation, so have re-entered the trade at 0.7310 and moved stop to 0.7365
Trade active:

Good thing we continued with the idea. The decisive break of the flag occurred with the CPI print, and now we are surely headed lower...
Trade closed: stop reached
