Here's what i see...

The green line is the 150sma which for the past few weeks price usually touches and then drops.

I shorted it but it blew right past the 15 minute 150sma for a 26 pip loser for me.

But it seems to have stayed in this channel so who knows..

That's what it looks like to me on the 15 minute chart. I'm not sure if I drew that channel properly someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm happy with my +30 pips again as i entered at 1.8526 LONG.. Hope everyone made good pips on it also as it was clear that gbp/usd was going upwards for at least that amount of pips.. Happy trading everyone.

Hey Nav it wasn't all positive you got to be careful just looking at the headline figure.

Good and Bad News on Housing Front, USD Flat New York, August 25. There has been a tiny bounce in USD/CHF since the US Existing Home Sales report, as traders react to the higher headline sales rate up 3.1% to 5.00mln vs the 4.92m forecast and a revised 4.85mln previous. That was the good news. The bad news is that even with the rebound in sales, the supply of homes for sale inched up to 11.2 months (a record high) from 11.1 in June and the median price of homes being sold fell to $212,400 in July from $215,100 in June. With the number of homes being sold out of foreclosure rising, the overall sales rate is increasing while prices are falling. This is part of the rebalancing process that must occur before the housing market stabilizes and the financial markets stabilize as a result. The problem is that mortgage rates have been rising this year as the markets more properly price in the risk of making such loans, unlike the during years of ridiculously loose lending that landed the US economy where it is now. Also being priced out to some extent is the ability of Freddie and Fannie to undercut non-GSE lenders as their fate remains very much in jeopardy.
Oversold hourlies hint that USD/CHF may be able to hold the current 1.0950 lows, Even if they are broken, bids in the 1.0900-10 range will likely suffice. 1.0970 is the immediate upside hurdle, with 1.1040 the key pivot point. [email protected]

I only entered that trade long because of what i saw in 1hr and confirmed by 30min chart. I usually shoot for 30 pips so that was the case for the trade i took last night and again today....
