has anyone else just seen a gap up on GU M15?
Just noticed I've lost my connection, maybe thats something to do with it.

Hi guys,

GU looks very odd to me, not so easy to see a definate move.

I think its getting ready to come down shortly.

It seams to me that although there is weakness about, the price has drifted upwards due to lack of selling pressure rather than a mark up (with the exception of the 06:45 bar on M15 chart.

However, things could go the other way (like I said.....looks a bit odd).

The next 2 hourly bars will show us whats going on for the short term I think.

M15

2 bar UT confirmed, followed by UT.....down move could be starting. Still beware.

Price action can be quite tricky at trend lines you know. Here, trend line is acting as support.. Hmm. Let's see who wins

Not sure it's about 'who wins'. Just trying to read the charts.

26 pips in the bag and playing with 6 pips short at the mo sl at BE.

in two three day terms, the could rise and rise. however, if there is a weakness in the background, it has to decrease.

and, i am not sure if there is weakness in the background.

however, I have seen up bars ( 30 min, 1 hour) which shaped like so in last 1 minutes generally from something up-thrust.

in my opinion it gonna decrease, but from where ? from this level or 100 pips above ? today or tomorrow ? or friday ? or monday ?

it may also now go sideaways, like yesterday in 20 30 pip range. and they may increase it again some 100 pips anad again.

also, it seems now up trend. they would like to fool the people, however what is the direction they want people to run

Yep. That's the more reason why you have to follow "who wins" according to the VSA rules. Just be aware is what I mean. I just took the one on EU and so far I see no reason to take the one on GU (just yet).

Just be aware that sometimes there could be weakness in the background and suddenly the weakness is overcome. And vice versa.

Because if you use the trend line as a guide you will understand that GU is supposed to be a long since the highest volume bar appeared on a down bar just above support.

I think we've all and agreed that we have no clear indications of a significant move in either direction.

It is very tricky at the mo however, these conditions sometimes offer some good scalping (20 pips or less) opportunities.

These are the trades I'm taking while waiting for better, bigger trades to come.

ps. Just noticed I been stopped out at BE......bugger!!

Now....

You could have gone short and gone long and still made profits (i.e if you can do double time frames). But on GU I didn't take any trade. I only went short EU and was out with a a quick 45 pips. No over trading.

But here's what I talked about... let's take M15 chart first, then the M5.

Then... My EU trade from M15 which actually was pretty straight forward.

Thanks for the charts, nice and clear. I agree with your interpretation of GU, infact, your number 2 on chart 1 is where I took my first trade.

Not sure about the ND on EU tho. It looks a bit wide spread and finishes too close to the high for me. having said that, I would have been in at the close of the bar following your ND because whether it is a ND or not, I believe the sentiment was there.

Thanks again.

Increasing price on lowering volume with narrowing spreads.

Are we getting close to a drop, not sure yet wait and see what the next bars tell us.
