Why does it moving up when all the numbers were bad for GBP??? Fockin' hell
All the numbers were not bad for GBP, it was only the trade balance that sucked. There is an interest rate hike anticipated (which is more short term than the balance) so people are buying the dip. I am one of them. A better trade also is the GBPJPY in my opinion.

So, the general consensus amongst the experienced traders here is that a major bear move is on the cards, unless a 0.5% hike is made.

Therefore a 0.25% hike will be a disappointment for the market because it is already priced in.

Looks as though Igrok's magnetic southern pole may be in play.

Time to wait and see I think.

I agree, we could even see a .5% rise bearing in mind the figures.I have gone long from here.

This four hour chart had three gravestone candles in a row before the move down. That's 12 full hours of a hint that it might drop. Or maybe not....

The figures were bad but not that bad.

Profit sellers seem to be buying back in now ahead of news later on.
Wrong. After crunching the numbers it would seem that the big boys have decided to go short for now.

When GBP went below the 1.9900 level down to 1.9890, I waited for the retrace and entered short at 1.9910. I will close my trade when it reaches the 1.9850 area.

If it reaches 1.98515, I will do the opposite I will buy. Reason simple: Two major tops has been broken at daily chart. I am in a losing position of -90pips. Sweating..... lol

This line is the likely magnet for the moment.
Igrok how strong do you think a retracement up would be if the rate came solid later? I know you are bearish longer term (so am I) but speaking about today only, do you think it is possible a strong rate will be shrugged off after all this descent?

I think there will be yet another surge before we are pulled back down to your gravity line. If the 1.9840 support is trashed today we might see your line sooner than you think.

Good luck all in these crazy times,

According to the candlesticks charting, a bearish reversal is to be waited.
Considering the configuration of the candlesticks charting and so the bank of England does not raise rates of 50 today basis points, the pound sterling might probably undergo massive sales...

... still looking and wait for a good entry.

I know what you mean about sweating..

Im sat here praying for it to go and stay long ahead of the statement...

Where are the bulls when you need them?

I don't know. But seems 1.9900 is a must, 1.9925 is probable, 2.0030 is the worst case.

Bingo! I'm out at 1.9850 - an easy 60 pips.

I believe if rate is 25 base points then more downside will be seen, a 50 base point hike will turn cable bullish again. Again price has been following the trend since 18th April.

As the learned, professional trader, Tom Williams once wrote:

"Good traders develop a disciplined trading system for themselves. It can be very sophisticated or very simple, as long as you think it will give you the edge you will certainly need.

A system that is strictly followed avoids the need for emotion because, like a trained soldier, you have already done all the 'thinking' before the problems arrive.

This should then force you to act correctly while under trading duress.

Of course, this is easy to say, but very difficult to put into practice."

MORAL: Spend less time trying to develop the perfect system, and more time trying to develop the discipline to adhere to whatever system you're currently using.
