Friday's bearish engulfing and last week's bearish hammer close the clues as to overall with 1hr, [now 4hr] trend direction, price finding support @ the earlier mentioned 5720/25 bids area, being a previous swing hi from December 2008, visible now on weekly chart. Area of lows is also bottom of the descending daily price channel and in the area of a 3 fib cluster running 5747-16-5692, being 38.2% 3642-7044, 50% 4392-7044, and 38.2% of main current yearly lo-hi 3505-7044 respectively. The 200day sma is currently @ 5460-70 area.

I would add something to BB's earlier post about previous support becoming resistance, in my experience it is potential resistance (sbr) until proven and of course a trigger for entry indicating that it might hold (like all potential support/resistance/sbr/rbs

Good day to you all,

Attached chart with levels of importance to me right now. Numbered and referenced:

1) Key level @ 1.5769 - this is the low of last month. Could form a base for retracement, or could form a strong barrier to keep price below this and push it further down.
2) Confluence of the 1.5800 round number coupled with the 50% line of this week @ 1.5804 ( the 50% line will not be of real significance to me right now, as the week is young)
3) Strong support/resistance level @ 1.5824
4) The weekly opening price @ 1.5837

1.5769 is the level to watch. Then 1.5800. Should price stay below 1.5769 we can see 1.5702.

Wish you all success

Morning all,

Was a lovely south move this morning on the 5M cable, didnt take it all, but got 40 pips or so.

Now thinking about waiting for the 50% on the fib, for further south (hopefully she makes it that far north!)

Fib drawn on the 5m (1.5882 - 1.5728) with the 50% sitting on the 1.5804 mark, looking for a nice bounce off that level to enter another short.

Once again appologies for not posting a chart, I am just not really sure how to do that!

Looking at my 4HR as a reference, if the candle closes nicely below the 1.5754 level(S1), next stop could well be 1.5667, which is my daily S2 ...unless I have missed something, any thoughts on this?

Good Luck all!

The starling is moving in a declining tunnel, after testing and rejected from 34 ema, the daily CCI has formed strong ZLR pattern,( see my previous post) AND is approaching to -100 level which is strong support area.

Closing below the -100 cci level would be a signal that the pound is heading for more losses, next support at 1.5650.

a regular divergence based set-up on 1min and a hidden divergence based set-up on 5min gave the entry trigger @ the prev 4hr sw lo=prev supp=potential sbr zone running 5767-87, (38.2% of today's move @ 5787)...the HL on 5min worries me as does the fact that this prev 4hr sw lo zone=potential sbr is not an immediate sbr zone, ie not part of this current downmove...so have exited with a small =10 gain only from this set-up. 5min pa saw a hanging man followed by a bearish candle as the trigger.

This what I am see-ing on 1hr at the moment insofar as potential supp/res factors are concerned... There are of course other fibs from the 7044,6740 and 6466 highs to current lows not shown on this 1hr chart...

I have the same fibs, I'm watching the 50% but also a price target for short trade I calculated corresponds with the 61.8% fib so this is a hot spot for me.

Happy trading.

lol ok

5790 for today.
If price can close below 5790, next target 5615. Trade at your own risk tho.

Good luck

Nice to know I am not the only one looking at that!

How do you work out the price target?

Many thanks,

ps. she certainly does seem to be struggling to get up to the 50% hope she gets there...will watch out to see how she reacts to the 50, could well go to the 61.8 if she makes the 50...

It's that time again
establishing long position slowly

buying small lots at 1.5947
Good Morning,

Friday's long from 1.5947 developed nicely initially up thru 1.6000
but since I'm not a scalper, the long position was closed on the approach of my entry @ 1.5957

My Position Is FLAT since.

As usual, some great posts .http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon14.gif....here are my last closed trades.....I now have my first new short off the 5775 level with another limit order just under the 5800 level. With the US closed, I'm wondering if there will be sufficient sellers to give us an afternoon sell off......Time Will Tell...http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Would not have mind being in that one from Friday afternoon :-)

I was short since Friday on the GU, but got stopped out for a measly 3 odd pips earlier this morning (banking 110), got a re-entry for a short at 0700 gmt @ 1.5750 and now its a case of sitting on my hands not to get cold feet.

Getting close to my 50% now!

Come on just a little higher and then down we go!

I hope!

Things always happen on the edge in this market.

I cancelled my short placed for 157500 last night following announcement from Brown "GBP 16bln of assets to be sold", and today being a manipulative day!

I think by the EOD will be back to 1586xxx as today never happened :-)

Also, "Moody's says stable outlook for UK sovereign debt reinforced by party conference".

Hawkish comment from Brown:

"UK's PM Brown says will back the Bank of England whenever it decides not to extend QE"


Market predicting EU to trade 149-150 by the end of this week as equities might shoot. So heads up for you.

Unless someone short the pound it will shoot up another 100-150 odd pips.

Looking for a better entry, to short :-)
