{quote} GU pa is testing this now. Its support, but it can be broken. Mixed signals yesterday. LC had the highs to be tested. That has happened already today. If this week number fails to hold support. the day support number may be tested later (219x).
I have observed that when the weekly pivot at R1 failed to hold 12349 price always go back to weekly central pivot which is located at 12198 so you must be right
sell strength in falling markets, and buy weakness in rising markets.

{quote} gu bulls are pretty tough atm.. If it flips, back to 215x is normal. I dont have a solid number atm since its still active. if it closes a day below 2150. if it was the eu, it probably will turn bearish. Brexit and all that wildcard unknown. eu wise in a downtrend. 2345 would turn it about 70% of the time back to -2150 to close the day. GU brexit is a different animal.
the flip would close below 218x ish.. It went higher than usual. About 40 pips higher compared to eu's personality. it's a different animal. but may be attracted to 2156. ATM 10 days in a new month (Q) after last month closed bearish. So pa may return to 2156 and should be less with trend.

I grided it some, since 1147 looks too hard. 1300 looks to be a hard ceiling now..

hey boulder, do you ever trade breakouts? or only pullbacks?

I haven't really figured out how to trade breakouts. Just wondering how others do it.

If the trend breaks at close.... I trade breakouts... most time ..pull backs...eg if this 1037 cant hold at H1 close.. I will short it.....

I actually think my trading is more like your mans 'fishing'.... I put baits in calculatedly.... collect my fish later...lol..

So you always wait for the hour close before trading breakouts?

I must say that breakouts are harder to trade than pullbacks.

At least in pullbacks there tends to be previous s/r you can identify.

For breakouts there's always this "is this fake breakout" at the back of the head.

2311 with a little more than 20 min to go. atm looks like it will hold this time. 1h flipped, but can't be trusted. If 2311 does give up (4h), possible short 2343 has potential.

good gbp news bump slowed or stopped it..
