The EURUSD's proximity to the 50 SMA at 1.18691 raises concerns about a potential gap opening on Monday. Given the current neutral trend and RSI around 54, any significant overnight news could easily trigger a gap up or down. Prudent risk management is advisable, especially for positions held over the weekend.

Update: Considering the weekly close near 1.18683, a minor gap seems more likely than a major one, but it's still a possibility. We need to watch the Asian session open for initial indications. A tight stop-loss or reduced position size could mitigate potential losses if the market moves against us unexpectedly on Monday morning. I'll be looking at the H4 chart for early signals.

That's a really good point, @arthurevans75, about the potential gap on Monday! I hadn't considered that fully. With the EURUSD hovering near the 50 SMA and the RSI showing indecision, it's definitely a risky play to hold positions over the weekend. I think I'll close out my small long position just to be safe. Better to avoid any nasty surprises! Risk management is paramount, especially with the news cycle these days. Thanks for the heads up!
@arthurevans75, good point about the 50 SMA. I'm also a bit worried about a gap. With that Iran news swirling, anything could happen. I'm thinking of tightening my stops overnight, just in case. Better safe than sorry, eh? 🍻
@arthurevans75 Your point about the potential gap opening is well-taken. The overnight news indeed carries significant weight, especially considering the current market sentiment. Holding positions over the weekend or even overnight with EURUSD can be risky, and your advice on prudent risk management is sound. I would add that monitoring the Asian session open is crucial, as it often sets the tone for the European session. Furthermore, the correlation with other pairs, such as GBPUSD, should be observed for any divergence that could signal a false breakout or breakdown. A wider stop-loss may be warranted to account for potential volatility, but this should be balanced against the risk of significant losses if the market moves against the position.
