Navin I know what you are going trough.
Try with fibonacci daily pivot points.
No need to calculate.
Take them from Action forex and place them on your chart.
It will give you visual direction and how far it could go.
When it come to resistance or support you will se the action and make a decision.
To elaborate price action of GBP-USD.

The price action was similar as EUR-USD but it broke Resistance 3 for 90 pips.
When this occur the price usually fall back as you can see in the chart.
Assume you have entered a short position at Tokyo session start at support 2.
With chart with pivot points at next support you would know you are wrong and change your position.
Or you could wait till end of the trend and on indecision place an short order.

Hope this will help you.

Regards to all

The pound entered a short term downward cycle on April 6. I am establishing short positions in this currency at 1.9700 or better.

I do not know what your time zone is so I will use openings of the sessions so you could see your time.

NY is ending at 23.00 my time, in an hour new calculation for next day is on the action forex, but some time I calculate them by myself.
The real power of the pivots come at the beginning of London session.
Usually the price action go from one to another point and it is up to you how you will trade. Both long and short can win if you have patience or place an order on the wright pivot.

First I was using pivots from 23 GMT (I'm GMT + 1) so it was midnight my time.

But now I'm using it from 8 GMT (London opens) and it plays very well especially on GBP/USD.

I have a short position which was opened at 9845. Looking to add one more at 9785. SL 9825-ish. 1st TP in the region of 9650 hopefully after bad housing news. obviously we need to see a clean break of 9725 first.

I still think g/u will have another run towards 9900 from 9600/50 region once strong inflation data is released on Tuesday. Besides if either TIC or Business Cond. Index comes out lower, Dow will continue to drop giving more reason for g/u to rally. Technically, the line in the sand for me is 9600. As long as we are trading above it, I will hold my g/u long positions as there seems to be a strong base forming at that level.
if price price breaks 9740 we will prob see 9600, and then a huge retracement from there. i just sold at 9790 anticipating that break, tp 9600

Good short term trade setting up on pound.

If it holds below 9775, look to set shorts down to 9565. I would exit here.

hi clam, price is at 9760, are you short? my tp to be exact is at 9585

do you have a stop? if so where? mine will be around 9825...

Yes short. If price settles above 9775 area, then I would exit. I don't use fixed stops but your stop is GOOD.

Trade needs to move below 9735 for us to gain any momentum in the short term.
