Near term, the GBPUSD hold at 1.5100 is a positive development so there is clearly no reason to alter the bullish outlook. Resumption towards the congestion area that preceded the sharp 2/20 drop is favored. The lower part of that zone (1.5415) is also the 38.2% retracement of the decline from the January high (1.5423). IF the rally continues from above 1.5092, then the advance would consist of 2 equal legs at 1.5521, or near the top of the zone (1.5549)
How about the bearish outlook then with the longer down leg? Doesn't that has any weight in your analysis?

I'm still new to those type of charts. I noticed the first two divergences included an uptrend in price, so by the direction flipping, would that indicate potential downturn?

Let's look at gold to understand what 'they' get up to...

Commercial hedgers are the manufacturers of goods for that market (they know their market better than anyone), so gold producers were consistently net short whilst gold was bidding up, so they 'hedge' against their exports.

Notice there was almost a panic sell in late 2008 and the comm hedgers were close to flipping their intent, ie their disclosed positions would have put the green line above zero on the furthest vertical line to the left...it turned into a fakey and they resumed their sell positioning and then 2009 happened!

But look at the recent bidding up of the green line, it's coming back to historical highs, so you need to ask yourself this...what do the market producers know about their own product to make them hedge and start buying?

In hindsight, i might swing trade a GBPAUD long i have because AUD may tank as gold reverts to lower prices to punish all the gold bugs.

A-spec,

That's actually a dated quote from Daily FX,

It seems that 'current' comments show a change in sentiment over the weekend to a resumption in selling pressure. This too is even apparent from most analysts on Daily FX that seem to have changed their opinion (likely on the lack of energy to push above 1.52)

Im staying out right now as I seem to have lost my way last week (after being a bear for months). For me I think its best to wait for some conformation at either north of 1.526 or south of 1.509.

The divergence being at relative extreme levels gives the indication that something will change. It actually already did over the last few weeks and by the time the next COT report is issued that chart will look slightly different as the lines turn back toward each other.

The question is however, will this just break some pressure and allow more downtrend to resume (as it did in 2010) or will this actually be the change in direction and the lines will come together more.

Similar to the RSI being overbought.

The only real factual thing I can garner from this is that the reduction in volume last week (after the correction had moved us a couple hundred pips north) seems to suggest the 2010 path is likely and we will see a resumption in the downtrend soon. This is taken from the fact that net long positions fell last week (as did net short). The 'closing' of long positions from the week previous gives us an indication that the 'large traders' don't see the uptrend being anything more than a short term correction.

OK. I heard the COT was very useful. The subscription is not much, but I am debating if it is valuable enough to subscribe. Anyone have any thoughts?

I think we might get below 1.51 today.. hopefully we get to see 4925 or below by this week. If its ok with u, i would like to suggest to not to rely on other people analysis mate.

They may disseminate the info differently, but the data is the data with no fluff attached.

Data for the report is required by the CFTC from traders in markets that have 20 or more traders holding positions large enough to meet the reporting level established by the CFTC for each of those markets

Rely on others analysis?

I was just pointing out that since the quote you mentioned which was on Daily FX that they seem to have since changed their opinions.

No it was actually a post from someone else, I was just pointing out that it was a quote after you had asked a question to the original post, sorry I don't remember the name of the original posting member.

No worries bro.

watch list for bounces at 5176 , breaks then at 5134 ,5100 , good level 5092 . again breaks at 5068 & 26 target levels again .but after if it done , a good & strong bounce likely next breaking 5026 & may be narrow space at down , probable levels again 4980 & 4920 before the previous bottom. lets see with all those bounce levels for the more correction UP & at least there must be good try from any level mentioned .
take care .

Would be nice but 1.5181 pivot S1 holding well. With a thin market due to holiday, I don't know if traders want to take it down.
