so i had a signal to short AUDUSD at Asian Open.... placed the trade, then went up with my mom to Shenzhen to enjoy some pampering massage, manicure and cheap shopping....
came back to HK to found out what happened to the AUDUSD trade i opened....
it looks like this now...

As for my fellow GBPUSD traders here....
my word of advice..... see where we are meeting support?? 1.59344 Weekly EMA55 (blue horizontal line), looks like a legit support... but if that baby breaks.....
i dont see any more line to keep GBPUSD supported....

I think if Cable breaks D1 200EMA, then possible to go down till 1,583ish or maybe 1,565ish too. We will see.

be very careful... PA suggests further down... we are having lower lows created UNDER that 1.59344 support... and that is a very bad sign...

If people are interested to know exactly where i shorted... i shorted at the Yellow Dotted Crosshair.... see where i shorted? after the first bearish candle after the gap.... i opened on the 2nd candle open.... which is about 1.62518 as the line suggests....
i normally would aim for a 1st TP at EMA55 and it did touch.... and 2nd TP at EMA200... sad thing is... i got stopped out from the rebound at ema55 up to a high tf ema200 at 1.6172... so theres 70 pips profit? oh well.... i could've had a potential for 300 pip profit if i didnt move my SL too tight as the trade went in profit...

Does anyone do any analysis of the longer term? I've been watching this wedge/pennant pattern formation on the weekly/monthly charts which is quite interesting. I'd like to know what you all think about the possible areas to look out for if/when the wedge pattern breaks.

I think it might be broken @ 1.63-1.65 for the upside, and @ 1.53-1.57 for the downside (dependant on timeframes), but I'm not sure.

Any thoughts?

im trying my best yo... but last line of defense for the GBPUSD bulls is this 1.5933ish EMA55 weekly... if we close below... Bye Bye Bulls and down to 1.56-1.57....
and we also need to see how Monday if its gona gap around or not...

market prospect for cable i think had possibility for long to 1.6470 area but the economics dont fit well..look at the retail sales in a time where they should be better and the they are worse..fundamentally prospect is bleak.. and 1.53 is now prepared to break..it wasnt before because of no testing..now is different!..

i only exit my trades as the position were weak..and bounce up is something i cant ignore

just must see the chart and make sure what u think is in sink with the chart..fundamentals are lagging indicators and technicals leading...so what u think takes time to develop..u were right in analysis..spot on

but from a technical trading point of view way of base

Downside breech of 2nd weekly ascending trend line iin last leg down of the 1hr/4hr/daily general opa downtrend....current daily lo @
2 fibs (38.2% 5263-6349/50%5489-6349) and 1st 1/2 prev 4hr sw lo zone...another strong bounce up from potential support which has been the charat=cter of this trend before the sellers sell the rally at a discount price...weekly candle looking v bearish so far - closes today..likely to be the 6th straight down day unless a big rally ?

4hr below doesn't show the 2 fibs mentioned above which are on my daily chart.

dont worry... i have a mentor in fundies, hes 40+ years old and ever since i inform him of the signals i get, he tells me if he thinks they are fundamentally fine trades....

and the benefit is he and i both enter the trades too.... so we both in a colaborated win win situation....

sometimes he tells me NO... when he says the fundy is going against the trade... if thats the case i dont take it...

I think 1.5912 is the next useful support. I am posting this because I am unsure why you would want to long this pair. As I am heavily short at the moment, it gives me the jitters. Maybe you could post a chart?
