I entered the trade before 2:30 PM NY time because I needed to get some sleep. I based the trade on a 15-minute order block (OB) with my stop loss set at the Asian session low

I decided to take profits just below the previous high. I had expected the price to push higher during Thursday’s London Open, but I didn’t want to be too greedy, so I took profits on Wednesday after the London Close.


Thursday Core Inflation Rate YoY: A sharp 15-minute move of 134 pips, typically neutral, designed to trap traders on both sides.
