friday high touched, we look for a rejection now..
We have already seen 5 odd rejections from this level. There is certainly chance for another - but may not be as big as the previous rejections. It looks like price is gearing up to break this level.

I'm long from the 1.58 level looking for a 100-200 pip bounce, finally looking like a tradable bottom. I think a good reminder trading the cable is to remember that it really likes the false breaks to try to get people to buy the top and sell the bottom, so the best probability trades will be at extremes of range and/or recognizing the likely false breaks. In this case I think 1.58 looks like a good candidate.

i think that might be possible.. we might get somewhere around 5950-6000 or 6060 at the extreme.. but not in one day..

for today, i will see how the price reacts towards 5900 first..

Yes, agreed targets most likely won't be hit in one day and we should be prepared to exit some/all of the position around 5900 levels. If we get above 6000 by tomorrow I think being greedy would be justified and we could hold it to further targets as that would be some overpowering momentum.

don't need to be greedy i think, can always reenter on breakout retest..

i don't think it will be an uptrend.. it just a pullback from higher TF. the problem is your position is at the support..

another thing is, doesn't matter what happen with greece or italy or france or iraq or US.. trade your chart mate.. not what you think..

anyway, we are due for a pullback, maybe the pullback will just max at 5900.. maybe 6060.. who knows.. that's all depend on how the magnitude of the movement and how the price reacts towards s&r level..

mm indeed a weird top (if this can be called a top), i was expecting much more bullpressure, maybe it will come soon, or maybe the market is ok with a triple top.
If it's the case, 1.56 is the next station.

critical price is the high of the hammer in daily, if that market unable to break that price (closed candle above that price level), i don't think we will see anymore higher price..

Good day to you,

We may be forming a bear trap on EU 30 min - if correclated - GU may go higher still.

Just opinion

if cable wants to get higher, the price has to trade above the daily hammer high sustainably.. seems like cable failed miserably to trade above the hammer high.. and the momentum is not there..

maybe bulls giving up already..
