USD pulled back a bit on Friday as trade war fears escalated, but it did well against commodity currencies. EUR struggled to hold its ground against JPY but managed to get gains against USD. I will be looking for a short-term sell position on EUR/USD.

Finally, the USD managed to show some strength after the FOMC minutes turned out more downbeat than expected. The EUR also took some hits as bond yields turned lower in anticipation of MiFID II. I'm looking for a short-term sell position on EUR/USD if the double top resistance holds.

Trump's impression of John Taylor pushed the USD up a bit. He will be meeting with Yellen on Thursday so, things are kinda uncertain at the moment in my opinion. I think we will get a bounce of the weekly pivot in EUR/USD around 1.7300.

USD took a hit on Friday on mostly weaker economic data. I was very bearish on USD but despite the negative data, Yellen's statement was hawkish. This messed up my sentiment and leaves me undecided for this week.
