Went to bed last night at 12gmt expecting £ to tumble if it closed below 1.5555 resistance. It dropped to 1.5531 before climbing! Glad I didnt set up an overnight trade.

Any ideas why it climbed to 1.57?

Asian markets turned positive last night. May be a sign of optimism which may mean less buying of safe haven $$ at this low level. My opinion is that the level of optimism in the UK rate cut may actually cause a bit of pound strength or if anything a reluctance to buy Dollars over £. UK press is certainly the most optimistic it has been for some time.

I know its probably premature and against the overall trend but I am looking for safe buys at low levels today with BE stops. If this girl were going lower, she would have started to do so by now...

Quoting Barry Cade
Karmo is a regular contributor on JPY blog that includes GBP. He is usually good, albeit (over?)confident.
I too am amazed at the number of seemingly successful traders given that 80% statistically lose money. Loneliness perhaps necessitates some bragging to get respect & acknowledgement?

Ive been keeping out of the market as I cant comprehend the scale & speed of the movements. Too risky. Its not technical to me, its seems totally emotional, but that may be that I dont spend enough time analysing enough data. Its frustrating for me seeing people apparently make so many pips, but I suspect they are all suffering a bit, like yourself, only they wont admit it!

However, its very interesting getting...

Out for +65 pips. Cant trust direction. I'll buy on a low again or on breakout above the spike resistance point 15717. Or if the FTSe tanks which it seems it may do after all I will sell. Give us the sign oh market one.

Good luck if you are long again!

Euro is still moving up, but has been around 38% FIB, so maybe both £ and € will stick together. However, my guess (!) is that Euro will go up beyond, but I really dont understand £, so I still refuse to trade.

You are probably best sticking to stock market indicators!

I suspect the stock market money movements are the main drivers here at the moment but its a bit of a guess

I am a bit untrusting too so I am just chipping off 20 pip bites. Equities are very unstable but Euro is flying

€ has just bounced off 38% fib & £ also bounced at same time. I would not be surprised to see € going to 62% (another 100 pips) but I am not confident in market. FTSE 100 also fluctuating a bit with big candle wicks at both ends, so I am out of here, its all too risky.

I'm wondering if it can make it to the 1hr 62ema, it looks like it's trying to push that way. I have an order set there if it does

The way I see it the next 20 pip zone is crucial. I don't see it happening tho as the volumes seem quite small and there is a bucket resistance, trend line, 50 Fibo and previously used resistance level. If we break thru there we will be in for a decent ride otherwise hello 15600 again. I am out for now.

looks like going there

True, I just seem to lose more with a trailing stop than I gain with a good exit

Euro has hit double top. They may both be priming to turn?
