I will try very hard not to trade until we either reach 5990-60 or if we get a very decent dip so I can pick up a bargain.
same here except im waiting for 5660-80,as there arent any economical changes for the last two months.That aside 1.60 is possible with the spiking of the news.

Trade what you see.....not what you think.

If it breaks 1.58 here.....we go down for a while.

What do you call a "very decent dip"?

Thanks.
Just back to the 100 SMA will do for me, trading doesn't have to be complicated

Hard to tell exactly, but I think I am still waiting for a retest
of my broken bearish TL's. Not at charts sorry but I agree with above mentioned number, around 5660-80 sounds right from memory. We have broken some stubborn resistance fairly quickly so we are in a tricky place, but definitely still a bull if we retrace.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts .

I am also planning to go long between 5700 - 5770, PA permitting as shown in my analysis above. However, as you know Friday and NFP trading can be chaotic. I tend to stay clear but always like to have a plan.

The problem is.. US is planning more QE as well. And the ECB is not permitted to do QE by law...

The silver lining for GB is that it can do QE if need be. A weaker currency will also help with the exports - just look at how Germany is doing with a cheap Euro (it has the lowest unemployment rate in the last 20 years).

US says they are going to do QE.....but their numbers are actually the best out of any other country right now....they are just trying to keep their dollar down.......Brits are screwed........

But like you said....it is a balancing act......we will see which way it goes.....like I said....I don't predict....I trade what I see in the charts.

As of this candle, it is 1.57660 but that can change slightly from 1 H candle to the next

@ Faller, that is an Indicator of Moving Averages 20, 50, 100, 200 over 5 time frames, pretty isn't it?

Also heard today that there are major sell stops just below the 1.58 level.....came from my news feed....we never really got down their today......lets see if those stops are still sitting there after hours......would someone throw a billion at it on the short side and see what happens!

Im new on this board and would like to say hello to all first.

I usually frequent EUR board but this insight applys here too so I wanted to share.

The combined Daily Extreme High/Lows for GBP and EUR are listed below for the last several days

For anyone trading this pair I would say it looks like GBP is moving up from here along with the EUR.

Charts confirm this too.

Other pairs suggest similar scenario.

As always, just a prognostication and pleased to see others views.

Another thing.......if Japan intervenes - they will be buying lots of USD to counter the strong yen.......when that happens.....all crosses get hit hard.

Can't look at the code but I believe is is simply if price is above the EMA, then it is GREEN, if it is under, it is RED
