question for everyone

ok GBP closed 14:00 at 9441

9450 is 38% fib on my chart for this last nights move

if it closes under 9450 would that be a bearish indicator or not really?
Ghost; My take is that the currency may have found a neutral zone to rest in awaiting the NFP #'s in the morning. Not unusual for trading to get quiet prior to that release. This could be especially true as we are still experiencing the effects of the holiday market. In direct response to your question I would say I don't really know if this particular event would be construed as bearish. I would certainly not think it is a bullish indication though. Sounds like a politician trying to talk out of both sides of his mouth !! Any way, I am still cautiously bearish expecting to see low to mid 9300's before the end of the week. I have a small short position at this time.

also look at the 30 min, a nice falling wedge, and each of the last few candles is HL, and break of the upper trendline will take it higher

Be careful guys, this will burst to the upside soon. Some confluence @ 9475-9482 but once past there I think we should move up to 9520-9530 level, may be a good short just below that as I doubt price will pass strong resistance at that level.

Hello 007, Yes you are right this is probably one of the best forum, lot of constructive comments, and what's more no whinging and negative posts. so it's not how many members you have but the quality of the posts. So keep it up FF -

The other forum I started using recently is fx-forum.net, some great live trades by couple of guys. One guy, barry is putting on live trades as it happens and last 2 days has made 500 pips! - been following him, and must say very educational. seeing is beileving, virtually most trades were posted withing few minutes

As for Cable, I went long again and closed half for 30 pips. I am beigging to take a bullish view, and yes there are some great divergences on most time frames. But have a look at the 4 hour chart, a nice channel and you have had 2 bounces. Looks like the baby wants to go up, but if the channel breaks than yes a down move of 300+ is on cards





Sorry. Thanks for the reply. I've checking charts and hovering over the kill button.

I think flat is not a bad place to be. I have a small short open but may close it if we don't see something soon. Remember, no position is actually taking a position not to have one.

Today's spark fom 9500 to 9400 messed with the charts big time... I used to read about fibs and channels like a week ago. Now I read "divergences" and "with no clear direction" ...

It's hard to tell now whether or not it was an overall market trend, since there are big boys reported as "on vacation" yet - easing that kind of easy ride..

In the other hand, this move alone has placed the market 50-100 pips below 200 EMA - not that below, but yet, below it, and staying... and enjoying...

Yen staying very close to a reported "Huge Resistance - 120.00", what may get in the way in case of USD bullish...

To make our lives a little bit harder, there's NFP tomorrow...

The puzzle is to be solved....

See you

time has a way of making data look flat and boring - look at tick charts on different time frames and things wont look so obscure. We are still at the bottom of the channel, still haven't hit the trendline - which right now is in the 9380 area, however, i feel we are very much due for more of a retrace - the 4 hr is confirming a turn now although not decisively so. Nevertheless there is a cluster around the 9475 area and we havent been able to pass it yet. The general move should be up from here - but my risk will be a close under 9380 on the 1600 tick. The initial target on the move would be midpoint of channel in case it reverses and down trend proves prominent. Midpoint is 1.9550. fibo cluster around there though may prevent that from being reached so that is why I aimed for 9515. Just an opinion
