General consensus from analysis on a no deal is anywhere from parity on the dollar to mid 1.2's

I reckon somewhere in the middle but it could spike way lower once its all out in the open.

The origin of this price action is daily , what you are looking at on the hourly level is internal structure of the first daily swing down, once the daily closes below its previous low it will swing back up to make the wave 2 before the 3 down.

Any millionaires in the house you could lose £300,000 for every £1m against the dollar over the next few months.

Pretty sure savvy will be unloading their pounds.

Or is it going to 1.40

Hmmmmmm

Hard call.

Appreciated Pipfarm

However regarding your comments:

"For those that think this down movement will continue for 1000 pips

Think what is an uptrend ie Low,High , Higher Low, Higher High, im talking about swings

So now look at daily is in an uptrend via its swings , now for the trend to change it would be High ,Low, Lower High, Lower Low swings

Currently we only have one swing down ie High and a Low so for those that think this drop will continue without a swing retest please think again"

The underlying oncoming fundamentals say that this will go much much lower, irrelevant of swings, ups and downs inbetwen, if we leave with a no deal the £ will plummet... some predicting parity with the Dollar eitherway the chart will catch up.

The chart is a lagging indicator on what some have been saying for last 2 weeks, even longer, just not here... sometimes the direction is obvious based on fundamentals, this is one of those times.

I am not disputing the fact that no deal will cause the pound to drop lower , that is common sense, however you have to bear in mind that fundamentals alone do not cause the market to move, large volume buying and selling by banks and institutions via limit orders which the market chases will do that and the markets do not move in a straight line. ( Bank moves are business related whereas institutional moves are fundi related with a longer term view.)

Over the years i have witnessed many events that should of caused the market to move sharply in one direction immediately, only for the markets to do just the opposite to fill large volume limit orders before moving in the anticipated direction of the important event.

Even though price action may be lagging, it helps us to enter the market at a good point , entering arbitrarily because of a perceived view can be costly as you found out .

So can closing positons for the sakes of 100 pips thinking you'll get a re entry only for news to land and it spiking against you, then chasing it, then it taking you out... I don't think we will be seeing a better entry than 472 & 466... possible some positions above 400 may get stopped ? Maybe... maybe not. not imo worth risking when 1000+ pips may be on offer.

tomorrow is the last trading day before the Sunday at which the government might pull the plug on negotiations... If you are trading based on the fundamentals you gotta ask yourself if its really worth it... i appreciate what you are saying tho, it is just a different take.

I'm looking forward to turning the computer off.

I will take 100 pips any day, as i know tomorrow i will get another 100 or 50 or 160 or 30 and some losses but over the long term i will be ahead and i have not had to risk too much.

Today alone i have banked half of your 1000 pip expected move just following t/a on various pairs ,so does it make sense to hope or to follow what the so called lagging price action is telling us.

When you end up with 20+ Put options and 20+ lots for it to drop 3000 pips while sitting back and enjoying ice cold beer...

Makes perfect sense

Well done on banking those pips.

my suggestion follow the candlesticks.....close if u see a hint of reversal.... if you look at it this way u could have made 60$- 60$ two times rather than waiting for that 100$ tp....

I've Leased some bulls today,
for a little "late in the day", action,
for a Retracement of 'Sorts'.

The Bears are having fun, pawing at it.
But we'll see as the 5min has crossed the River & the 15 min is like
a wide-open magnet now, to draw them to the Cloud.

We shall see.
Hope all is well Gang
