Yea Luck, its happening right now and it has some impetus as it tapped the Daily Pivot Point 3 times and broke thru. I as usual, am trading this retracement up from the smaller timeframes. The 89 SMA is next and then the 1.9582 area where the next daily UTL lies right around the 30 Min 89. This is where it will go thru to your area or bounce, but 1.9580 is critical resistance. There is also a Pivot Bar high in the little grey rectangle on the 15 min chart, that tells me the long will continue.

A dollar selloff till monday/ tuesday. Then buying dollars. Depending on how the market takes the rate announcement we could see 690 - 730's. OF course if they surprise and cut rates, this wont happen but thats really the only thing I can see that would make people not take profits and sell off dollar.

A very weak attempt on the 9520 resistance area so I'm short with a small position from 518 with a tight stop. Euro's also looking heavy and the dollar via swissy has bounced up off its 550 level.....

Hi guys,

I am new to forex and have been practising on demo account for the past 3 months. However, i have lost substantial amounts when a news release has occured. Can someone give me an idea as to what effect news releases has on a currency? I see there are 3-4 release scheduled for GBP and so when does this make it go up and when does this go down?

Thanks

Agree I want a clear close above 9520 before I consider a buy. US will have the most influence today though.

Hello. Everybody is picking bottom right now, but cable might go alot lower this time. Just have you SL and reverse orders ready if it drops.

Cheers

if they cut rates or surprise and release a statement for a change it sure as hell could.. But both are unlikely.

Well triangle seen on dayly has been holding. Monthly shows a huge bullish channel and we can see that price bounced from the UTL of the channel. This makes me think price could be looking for the LTL of this montly channel. Anyway im beying cautios.

Safe trading everybody

Hey Guys, I'm back just in time for news.
Unless we see a surprise rate cut then I suppose we heading back up. Need to see some green .
Does anybody know if we will get a rate statement from MPC? I read somewhere that we might not be getting one today so all traders are interested in is the actual rate decision. No clues in a statement????

For those holding shorts, I'm intrigued, it has basically just dropped 400 pips without any significant retracement- how much longer are you expecting it to continue? I agree that in the medium term it probably will fall, but I will hang on for a much better entry, maybe in the 700-800 range.

I guess if they cut rates, then shorting will prove to be a very good idea, but I think they will hold.
