Just be careful because the trend is not solid down yet. Make sure you manage your trade closely at least until the pair is clear.

Agreed

Stuck currently in no mans land...

However, holding daily open as support...and still a pretty strong bull play...

Not a good time to assume the bear brigade.

Why no mans land? Its 50% retrace on the 8 hr and 61.8% retrace on the 4 hour (both around 1.5010-15)

I feel we're gonna go short for at least another 70pips from here

I'm out of my short trade with a tiny profit, better be out than gamble as the market is certainly not clear at this point. Just remember that there are many other pairs you can trade so don't rush a trade that might not be there on gbp/usd...

So, keep your shorts open then.

We took a little dive off top, but are holding above true daily open.

Cable has been a strong bull today, and we are currently undefined trend wise by my standards.

Hey, I'm not offended if you make money and I don't...the current charts don't meet my criteria, so I'm not playing them.

Good luck with the play.

The Yellow bar on my charts with the red line above, shows me where daily open price is...from there, not a terrible idea to see if this holds support or crumbles...price 1.4955ish...

Thank digger for this little tip.


5PM Eastern Standard.

Roll over or true daily open.

We just closed under the 30m 24sma on that last surge down.

Chart 2, into a short cycle.

I'm short on gbp/usd, looking for 25 pips or so as usual.
Well i originally saw an entry on gbp/usd but it really wasn't clear since the trend was still up. Although i was right again and the trade was successful, i missed it but got into gbp/jpy trade instead since it was more clear to me and had a confirmation. Here are charts showing you how i planned this trade and how it turned out. On the second chart you can see how the price broke the trend line i drew. You can also see the support level line i drew and originally was going to use as my Take profit point where the price ended up anyways

1.4940 (previous top) or 1.4910 (DPP) could be levels to re-enter longs.
Not playing the retrace though....

Well the gbp/usd pair is still not clear to me as this point and that's why i didn't trade it and took a trade on gbp/jpy. By the way i just took another short on gbp/jpy and will be trailing it. I don't recommend trading gbp/usd right now but ofcourse it is your choice

Nice set up, i think a good long entry would be to wait for fibonacci retracement to 38.2 or 61.8 then go long again
