Inverted Head and Shoulders Pattern
On the daily candle chart for EUR/AUD, there has been a significant development with the formation of an inverted head and shoulders pattern.

Risk management
Traders looking to participate in this uptrend could place stops below the bull flag lows on the hourly candle chart. A profit target of 2X risk looks is reasonable for a trend continuation trade of this nature.
On the economic calendar, we have Australian inflation data on Wednesday and European Central Bank monthly interest rate decision on Thursday. These events have the potential to cause outsized volatility for the EUR/AUD currency cross and should be factored into risk management and position sizing.
