to say that would assume that down is the correct way.

I love trendlines and use them extensively, but they have to get broken at some point in their life.

Longs, for further upside we need EG to break 9180 and EU to hold onto support at 3045

If we add a splash of Dollar weakness to that mix we could some fast movement

Yes I have been watching that yesterday and it is very possible all depends if the trendline holds if it does then that will form the top of the right shoulder

What do you see as the reason for the trendline to be broken right now? No important news released, equity markets are down, dollar is higher against everything but the pound, U.K. economy still sucks. Watch for the plug to be pulled just as quickly as it was put in.

Inexplicable.

I had told you this morning the pound would have been up again after a spike down

unfortunately my long order at 1,4043 was 30 pips lower from the session's low, but I am still confident I can build a long around 1,41 during the late US session

Still short EURGBP from 0,9477
almost reached my target at 0,9143
maybe I can close the position tomorrow

What i saw...

For what it's of worth...
The 'Right Shoulder on a 3hr chart was just "touched"
@Around 1.4242 "ish".
We'll see if the pattern is the maker or the trends back up.

-She did smash back down,
'We'll see about all that.
Happy Pipping,

Jeff !

Well as I said Earlier we need EG to break 9180 for further upside, and EU to hold support

We have been rallying recently on the back of a perceived improvement in risk appetite and perceived improvement in the UK's fundamental outlook.

the dollar has been canning most other pairs but a lot of them are at support now and I expect them to reverse some of their losses.

If we dont break the trendline I will be back short again

My chart's fans seemed to hit recently, so I thought I'd share.

fan (MT4) GBP/USD
lines at .236 .264 .736 .764, each +- 0,1,2; plus, .618
1H scale, press - three times from no-show +
2009 0112 0900 1.5084
2009 0113 0100 1.50156

I call it a deviation fan, based on the Golden Angle (137.5 degrees, 137.5/180) and applied to intersect near its perpendicular a big trend divided in equal measures (four same-length pieces and the like) and aligned with existing turn points in the trend and perhaps around, more often after, the trend. Also, make extra lines I call midlines, when desired: Stretch a trendline between two fan lines and highlight it, then put a line from center thru the little box the highlighted drawn line makes.
Some prefer to put a fan on a fixed 1*1 scale because the lines otherwise jump when you scroll or widen/narrow the chart. I don't, you can mostly avoid doing these two after you finish setting the fan and if you trade a much-different scale (1', for example) on another chart.


Also, daily-scale horizontal lines at the 1.4480, 1.4280, and 1.4038/1.4050 are of some use. These, vaguely put, connect to very old turn points that resemble recent 1H-or-so turn points and their areas. They tend to frame an area with the consolidation and turn points it does touch, rather than give turn points like the fan.


I realize I could've gotten lucky on the recent hits, it's just the aligning with the recent trend and same-distance lines that made sense.

If I was a Betting Man - don't say anything

I can't see U S news being good
Unemployment Claims - my guess - worse then expected
D-Goods - no clue
New House Sales - my guess - worse then expected

be careful - no real frank & da queen news to speak of,
so what will move the market will be uncle sam news and i
would not want to have a trade going when that stuff comes out

Just a few crumbs to munch on between now and then

Who leaked the news early? Let me know next time!
