short eurgbp closed @breakeven...

8750-60 area is just too strong at the moment...

Might do this another way by putting a sell order @8745 or thereabouts...

A trader could always drop to the H4 and trade the bottom bounces with the stochcastics and price bars. There have been 6 good trades since this channel formed. The pair looks like a good short is in the making but it might take another 2-3 weeks before the move starts. On the weekly look the pair is sitting right at a 50% level on the fibs. A break up of that level (0.87398) would probably take the pair to (0.88087) a previous resistance level. From there it would be to the 61.8 level and maybe the short starts. Price action should tell us the way at these levels.

You are right on this one. I do not think we are going down soon. My longer term chart points up as well on the weekly chart.

In fact gbp is very weak at the moment and even with portugal issues cannot take on the euro. I think I am going to concentrate on trading the breakout of the top downtrend line. This pair has proven that the path of least resistance (the trend) is up

Thanks for your contribution

A week ago it seemed this pair was going to the moon. However it has fallen back into the range it broke out of. It has now flagged a sell according to my system

Price has closed below the 100sma
Stoch has turned and is heading down

an initial target is the bottom of the channel
Lower channel target reached. Will we continue to the downside. The aussie is showing a lot of strength at the moment. If we break down from 1.5750 area 1.52 area is the target

Gbp is generally weak at the moment and this weakness is showing glaringly against the jpy.
I dont know about you but because of the fear of intervention it is riskier going long the jpy. It is said that there is a line in the sand around 80.80 thereabouts that is being watched for intervention. I for one think nothing can be done gbp decides to weaken on its own. Also the BOJ said it is not the strength of the jpy that was the problem but the speed with which it got stronger

We are back below the 100sma
stoch has turned down (would like to see it below 80 though)
Nice red candles after the doji
Price still below the MAs on the weekly
MACD on the weekly is about to cross downwards

A quick travel to 125 might be on the cards... Smaller than usual stakes should be used for this

this pair has had a good rally from the lows and is now attacking the 100sma on the daily chart. A frw days is a long time in forex. 2 weeks ago we were looking for a confirmed entry got a short to the .62xx area. It might still happen but only price will tell when. It is now very overbought as shown by the stoch on the chart. Its behaviour around the 100sma in the coming days will determine whether its time to short

An ending diagonal points to reversal in elliott wave theory.

This could mean the euro is topping and the us$ is bottoming. A short in the euro cannot be taken until there is a breakdown from the formation

Was not able to do more analysis over the weekend. This will hamper my ability to enter trades this week. Will need to catch up on this asap

I go into this week with the following positions

Short gbpaud from 1.5739 stop @breakeven (half taken off @1.5631)
Short May Sugar @27.37 stop @2837 (Currently under water...)


Wishing everyone loads of pips...

Are we seeing early signs of weakness here?

Price has taken a stab at the 100sma and subsequent candle patterns is showing a topping (not closed yet).
Stoch has turned wown from lofty highs as well.

This pair is bullish imho but maybe a substantial retracement is due

Final half closed @1.5584.

Beautiful hammer formed. There might be short term respite for this pair. So the plan is to sell after after a possible correction...

May Sugar trade is still on...

This pair formed an inside bar on the daily chart yesterday. This in itself is not that much but couple this with an overbought state (stoch). Also price is finding the 100sma difficult to cross

Big charts guys.

We need to close below .7325 or above .7950...till then we're stuck

We will find the true trend soon I would think.

good hunting,

Sticking my neck out here. But I dont think we will be going to .7950. However will keep an eye so as not to be blindsided by my nzd bearishness

Thanks Golfer

Morning chaps,

I uploaded a daily chart of GBPCAD, as you can see it is now threatening 1.5600 support after having gained more than 400 pips since last week it looks to be even ready to go further down, RSI is favorable.
I will watch for a 4h red candle closing below 1.5600 to short and target 1.5300

Long time no post

Yes I can see gbpcad is bearish. I even went out to the weekly and my conclusions are the same. Today price is trying to form a hammer at previous support but that may be nothing as a hammer is only a hammer whwn the candle is closed.
Stoch is oversold on the daily too.

check out the euraud as well. we have broken below last week's low...

Have not been able to post overnight because of my dayjob and afterwork committments. But will post asap.

@3675

General euro weakness today. I believe 1.4000 is a tradable top and that we are going way down from here (actually late to the party...).

Weekly chart with my favorite MAs have not give a sell signal but when/if they do it would be time to add more to the position

This pair has me a bit confused. Weekly chart says up but the daily chart says down. There is a struggle at the 8800 level which might resolve as it is doing today to the downside. If this turns out to be the high for the moment then we will have a huge fall on our hands. We have a fall today but is that because we are in the early stages of a reversal or because of temporary weakness of the euro today?

I would suggest that if any selling is done a break of the steep uptrend channel must be seen first
