price broke out of the M30 descending wedge last week and retested the confluence support lines

the bearish momentum is clearly subsiding

I've got a long position in place at 1.5563

price is merey retracing to get more shorts on board...I turned bullish this morning when asia brought PA above yesterday's low!!

I see 157 in the short term... Bias is invalid if we go below 155600 though..

Well I dunno about longer term long positions although 1hr could well print a HL here ?....5min though printed a great PB candle to get long again after the first pullback..

G/L with the longer term long positions from this area.

thnx mate! this week is all about the pound and I expect a volatile week for this reason. Buy the dips and sell the rallies.

This is the advantage of the lower t/f's (I refer in particular to 1 and 5min) one can be productive in any conditions. I accept though it isn't for everyone and that higher t/f's can be more reliable re PA set-ups/patterns,, which is why I for one seek the greatest amount of tech confluence and an early trigger using the lower t/f's.

Hate to agree with you but things will only get interesting beyond 5550 and 5650. Just stating the obvious.

come back tomorrow, if market still remains in a tight 60 pip range

i am saying IF it remains in this range

normally this forum should be silent, but u will be surprised @ 200+ pages of charts and discussions

chart obsession

this is why i choose 4 hour, trade only when there is a trend, else watch TV or beach volley (its more interesting than TV even )

I managed to cash in 20 pips from the first rally after the HL was printed and then tried a long again on the same 5m pin you showed but was stopped out at BE. Now trying long again after another small pin bar on 5m, will give my stops a bit more room to breathe this time!

On previous retraces bulls have entered very quickly, so I doubt bulls will win this time. BUT... don't know anything before that hapens

May I ask how many bars you require to confirm a HL please? One bar or two bars following the bar that put in the low?

Thanks

Uptics mainly driven by USD-weakness
GBP weak too (low of USD-Index should give us highs of GU otherwise).

Not sure what to think of this, I can see prolonged USD-weakness but don't like the GBP-weakness........

Question: is there something like a GBP-Index?
