I am with you too

sell GBPUSD at 1.5600 sl: 1.5650 tp: 1.5550

hope it profitable when I'm sleep
I think we don't need SL, only rate news can push price breakout, but now there is no news anymore...
It must be down to 1.50 from now on till the end of this week
Good luck to all here !
Give me patience

That's a good view, but I personally don't think 5550 will hold her, I'm not willing to go long on her at that price and definately not at the price she is at. She could be getting ready for the traditional head fake, fall below the 5550 and then shoot back up north. I wouldn't expect much of a fall farther, maybe 5500, however, she could blow past 5500 down to 538x area and confirm the upward movement. Either way, I'll trade whatever is presented and be glad doing so as I'm sure you will too.
looking at how there's no good news coming out for USD, fundamentally, the cable shouldn't go much lower. only a small correction should be expected. agree?

Fundamentally, I cannot answer that, I'm not a fundamental trader. Technically, we should go and create a higher low to reconfirm the upward trend. I do believe cable will continue to rise til the end of the year.

You've made some great calls this week, but she doesn't have to do anything we want her to do.

1.50 is outside of any channel that I've come up with. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see it at 1.50 again, I have some nice money short right now. But I'm not going to marry my position. How are you deriving the 1.50 area if you don't mind me asking?

How are you so sure about this? I am really suprrised that you held on to your prediction that cable will break out up to 1.5500 at least today and it did.
How are you so sure we will have a great down movement in GU, EU and Gold?
Hic, I predicted and bet that this week GU will reach at least 1.5500 from ... last week, not yesterday , you can see what I posted last week.
Now I exited all my longs and starting SHORT, No more reason to go long now. GU will drop to around 1.50 area within this week and maybe 1.4 in next weeks. cause USD will be up again, there's coming bad news for Gbp and last of all for Profit Taking
You will see all in NY session today.
Wish you all here make pips !

I don't know if your calling me a Hic or what that is, but I hope your not.

Anyways, I do know you were calling for 5500 from last week. I'm not doubting that. I'm just trying to understand if you have reason behind it or if your just looking into a crystal ball. Either way, I don't care, because I'll trade her as I see it and be just fine if it goes to 5000 or 6000. I don't care nor have any emotion towards the direction.

So, back to the Hic, I hope that was a typo.

i agree; i didnt think it would go this far (but the feds lowered interest rates lower than expected)... so i am already short on eur /usd, eur/jpy and gpb/usd .... got my stops in... either this week will be +10% or -10% ... we will see.

I have to agree with you on this one. There is nothing I am looking at that would indicate we would be back down to 1.5000. Never say never, but the actions of the Fed today made it more likely that there would be less conversion to dollar based treasuries and looked to weaken the dollar. The Gov policy now is to save the economy and it looks as if the first casualty will be the dollar. I could be wrong but there was a very good article on Bloomberg today outlining what I have just said. I do respect all opinions and traders.

I would be shocked if we go back to 5000 anytime soon.

If I manage to get a short on the table I will TP at 5480 unless im watching and price just happens to smash through. The lowest I can see this going to on my chart is 5300

Ok, you are right if on the side of a technical trader, I said 1.500 within this week, not today only, but for today it is possible to drop to 1.52, very posible.
Yesterday you may think it is very hard to gain till 1.55, and ... it did.
My prediction depends on news, only news can push us breakout, not technical and as I already said, now No More News released for USD to fall further, you understand what I mean?
You will see what U.S friends do today
