The pair seems to have strong resistance at 5500. Any suggestion for trading from Senior/Experts?

Our lady has resistance at 5500, but I don't know if that will hold. She's still in very strong romance with the bulls.

Peace!

Wonder if the reason market acts this way today is due to the results from the stress test announced last week....

Very likely the market is having some jitters trying to digest the stress results from Friday, EG being sold of all day and 1.55 attacked with a vengeance with all dips being bought. BTW 7 US banks failed on Friday bringing the total for the year over 140, more then last year to this date.

1.55 is not a good place to short cable right now.

Call a Short @ 1.54945
TP @ 1.54721 (Middle 14days BB in 30m TF) Will close the trade if necessary
SL @ 1.55945 (Hope it will never reach this level today, not without boasts)

The pair is seen slow enough penetrating above 1.55000, thus Short is preffered.

As of writing, it is still traded ranging in my 14days BB in 30m TF, upper channel, and I'm now shorting it down to the middle (should it wants to visit there...)

shorting there ?? with SL 100 pips for tp 20 ?

I have long running 1.5464, half unloaded with +25, rest is for tp at 1.5540.

Not really sure there actually, if it changes trend, I'll close it manually, the 100 pips SL is set so that in case I forgot my safety belt in this trade, I'm protected anyway (but not subjected to price volatility)

Aggresive US bank seen buying Gbp/Usd in a recent trade hence the recent push up towards 5500 level

Tell'm to yell a little louder, the Chinese are winning this one.

Been afraid that the price will not visit my targeted level, but it was going to actually...

Closed the trade because of uncertainty spreading amongst us...

Will wait for another chances, for now, I'd like to keep my change

Volumes seem quite low on this latest push up to 5500, can anyone confirm this? Normally volume would increase as we approach a key level as sellers fight with buyers, is it a last push up by the 'smart money'?

As we have already exceeded the monthly high I would have expected a test of 5520-5530 area but in case not I entered a small short at 1.5494 to test the waters. SL above 5530.
yes i saw too..as i mentioned last week (in friday if not mistaken) this area where am looking for my short 1.55-1.57...n now she's coming...

what we r waiting for....f***** this maximum lol...

Except for the scalpers, the smart money is on the break me thinks.

Staying Short for today? Or shall we proceed to test 1.55ish...?

I think the pair will go down first... Either it is a reversal / retracement / or just people pushing it down...

Short @ 1.54862
TP @ 1.54586 (Will close the trade if necessary)
SL @ 1.55862 (Just my safety belt)

The RSI is beginning to curve, hope this is a good sign for bear-power...
