It is looking like it wants to go higher to find the sellers...
I know what you mean. I like it when we're already moving green after entry.

Morning David, Chaps

Looking a bit spiky on the top of this m15 fibo. I am waiting for the turn of the H1 or a puch to 14640 before taking a position. Bias to short from H1 50ema.

Hi Alan

Trust you are well

My thoughts exactly I had 2 position open from 1.4590 and decided to close them as it struggling, I agree it looks like it might be turning around we shall have to wait and see, up 80 pips so far today, the market has been strange this week strong bias to the upside on Tuesday and then strong bias for most of the day to the downside yesterday until the early evening when it started to go back up.

Yes, Altho even if the news is in line with forecast, it is a really bad figure for UK. PA is indicating sellers here but the buy surges are a bit worrying still.

Yeah, I been watching that for about 35 minutes, surges of 20+ pips and then drip...drip, back down to the base area of 4590....

I'm on the sides and might go back to bed until the US session, want to see how this next 15 candle closes.

It is obvious why there are sellers here as it is the continuation bear flag fibo for the the tumble from 14775 and is a Resistance level combined with the ma confluence.

With the bleak picture painted by the failed gilt auction, and some potential bad data, I am inclined to believe there is likely to be some selling pressure at this level and the next 50% fib at 14640. Above that and I release my bias.

I took the short on the close of the hour on the 14610 level. Lets see if she does the business. The boost in equities may take her to a better level still tho.

That is a great avatar flag Davids. I may modify mine too and we can form an SA army Nice work on the 80.

Off to bed to get some sleep before the US Session. You guys grab some green pips while I sleep. You can see what Infinity and I were talking about 5 hours ago as to why I went short when I did. Not to mention we were above a pin on the 15m chart by only a few pips.
