Sentiment remains mixed intraday reflected in price action on 1hr and below...5min being the prime example...few nailed on hi-probability opportunities so far today as a result...finishing here, G/L with rest of session..
there is no price action to judge any sentiment, cable hardly moved all day..... big boys seems to stand aside till direction is clear to plan their next move after tomorrow's release.... beware of some profit taking ahead of news

if 5950 holds out then expect 6000 in a hurry sometime within 3 hours

I will remain flat for the moment. No setup, no trade.

I am bearish on those GBP levels, but shorting EUR/CAD looked much safer than trading GBP/USD and taking too much risk.

Once NY open, downside will accelerate
I'm targeting 1,5900 for now, and probably 1,5860 & 1,5820

I would tend to agree. However, it's the inflation report fears which is dulling the bullish vibe.

No it hasn't, it opens in 5 mins, I expected a 10v poster that has been here for 2 years to know at least the basics.

There is a slim chance she goes to 15860 and a zero percent chance of 5820 today.

It just won't get below prior swing low the day before FOMC, sorry but no way.

Dont be afraid to draw a line or 2 on your charts , do you see anything that may have helped you here or at the very least saved you little money ? Attachment
Drawing lines dig?

The top line I guess I understand, but the bottom one seems, well, kinda like the monkey thang...heh.

Support has been on the M30 200 since we the 22nd of last month...now that the 5 and 15 have been touched, if the UTL holds, then I would expect this to be the next area of support to be challenged.

For today i'd target 1,5860 once it breaks 1,5900-1,5910.
Yeh you are right, the day before FOMC i don't expect such big move...but who knows some investors might unload some longs beofre FOMC so we never know

A different look at the same thing....

IF we do see the M30 200 challenged, it would see that we would be breaking into a new channel if not just out of the old. A bit of sideways motion from here, then we would start to see a bit of a retrace to the downside from here.

M30 chart 1.
M15 chart 2. Support still on the 15m.

Magix are you using the exponential MA? If so why and when are the other MA's useful.

Excuse for a newbe question. Haven't traded much using MA.

is there any VSA trader ? i'm not, but so low vol on up bar is weakness ? Down we go ?
effort to rise in a down trend off top with no volume is called a no demand and a very valid sell formation

We're not really in a downtrend here though...so it can still be valid?
