Altogether though, it is highly dangerous to fight against the strong short-term and long-term momentum behind this pair. A breakout is highly probably; so we should be exceedingly cautious in looking for a reversal. Waiting until after the weekend, lower position size, widening stops and looking for confirmation is good policy in a situation like this.
What momentum indicator do you suggest !
Thanks !!
