I would buy every bottom because I'm expecting a 1000pip upmove later. I wouldn't even dignify that call with a reason.
i just expressed my view, do what you feel is the best

Good day to you,

155.30 remains the longer term level of decision at this point. 155.12 the decision point for today.

To consider longs, one would like to see 1.5530 hold as support, but would prefer 155.35 ( last week's opening price) to form a solid foundation to trade from.

Below 1.5512, price may work it's way down to 1.5492 (the 50% line of last week) - we may close the day here.

Regards

UK Bank Holiday today, so they'll all be at their country homes or driving around posh seaside towns in their Bentleys.

With the loss of support on the M5, I took a few sheckles n ran...holding my single lot from 1.5525.

Given the long weekend n such, I think I will have time for another entry for a few side car riders.

Here's the 5.
Phew! Holding a trade in the opposite direction to you decreases my confidence considerably. I can breathe again now your almost out. I'm still looking for a 5th wave down from the 1.5997 top before we start the retracement, so have stayed short (SL BE). I realise the 4th wave up (1.5373 to 1.5597) might still have some legs in it, so I'm keeping careful watch.

Seems like there is quite a bit of uncertainty just at the moment, even amongst those whose judgement I trust on here...

5558 to 5500, which side do we break before London ?
We've just completed a 5 wave down on M5 between 1.5558 and 1.5514, now expecting a 3-wave retracement to anywhere between 1.5536 and 1.5541 (50% to 61.8%). London is closed today, so not expecting any fireworks at 8am GMT. Higher probability for me of continuing downmove from there, although not with any pace.

5500 should give a 40 pip long if it holds, not much, just some snacks before the imminent fall

Expanded flat, so B wave extended below the end of wave 5, and C wave had plenty of life, going to 1.5549. Waiting to see if she's finished there or just pausing for breath. Expecting dribble down then a move toward and/or a test of 1.5549. If it breaks, pause for breath. If not, we completed W1/W2 and are going down.

Edit: It broke but not by much, looks like she'll try again to make a valid formation. Holding tight until price forms valid W1 and W2 and turns to break bottom of W1.
Edit II: Very funny, W1/W2 formed but you'd have to be squinting at an M3 to see the W2. Already into W3, she really seems to have marginally more downside momentum than upside in these faster moves. Got in short at 1.5548 and will probably leave that alone for the day with a decent SL. Going out to celebrate my sons 2nd birthday.

I do not know what to expect yet. The gbplfx is sandwiched in between the two main pivots. Flat as long it stays in between, back to bullish if it closes above the W1 pvp or stay bearish if it closes below the monthly pvp. Too close to call atm, I am not expecting anything nor am I taking sides till it happens.

Good luck to you.
