NY open inventory flush as a fade setup on EURUSD
Posted: Thu Sep 17, 2026 1:46 am
At the NY open I sometimes see a sharp inventory flush — a burst that looks like news even when the calendar is quiet.
Fading that flush on EURUSD is only on my card when: the flush tags obvious London liquidity, reverses quickly with a reclaim, and I am not in the first seconds of a scheduled release. Entry after reclaim structure, not in the middle of the flush candle while spreads are silly.
Invalidation is hard and close. If US cash equities are one-way, I usually skip the EUR fade — cross-asset can keep pressure on longer than a tidy chart pattern suggests. Time stop is short; inventory flushes that do not reverse promptly often become the start of the US leg.
This is not my highest-frequency setup. It is a defined exception, which is why it needs a written card.
