Ya I know. I agree with you (the market has run a lot since GBP last night). That is why I got short a little at 152.10 and closed out of it for an easy 10 pips. I think I'll go back to scalping now for the next few hours until US markets open... at which point, it is POSSIBLE they could reverse the trend.

Top bearish triangle (dotted line) has not touched (confirmed- yet). Am looking at this nominally bullish formation playing out to 149x (bottom target still unclear)

touch of 152.25 or break until only 153 confirms bearish triangle. Break above 153 is bullish in its own right.

Even though I'm short, if it breaks 153.1 I will close my shorts after a pullback and load on the longs.

Oh I see. Kind of. That was due to GBP Retail Sales. Gosh darnit I need to start paying more attention to these things... But the figures came in at 0.2% exactly as expected.


Aeternum, how did you know it was going to breakout? Was there some foreshadowing in the article or something? Please share!

yeah, right now it could still be anything. It faked out the configuration I drew earlier and looks now to have confirmed as a bearish setup - but that could be a fake too. You kind of get the feeling that it may have finished now in a rising wedge - but it's back to wait and see. if it breaks 153 it could reach 154 x and still end up bearish

And what confuses me is that it, forgetting about the 149 level, it looks like excellent support down at about 148.5 - and that doesn't exactly support a terribly bearish view.

Im not in front of my charts at the moment but still believe that the down move in incomplete regardless of the fake moves which we have been getting lately (if that's what they are). My view is downwards unless 153.1 gets taken out firmly.

Sold that 152.60 failure....where we should reverse to longs if broken....It goes in time with the euro trying to fall...for my target in that pair at way below 1.2433.

Taking a shot at a very small scalp here. My bias hasn't changed... just looking to make a few pips before buying back

After 153.1, I think there's some resistance around 153.4

Hey all... the more and more I look at Sterling based pairs, the weaker they're looking to me.

GBP/USD is in an overall downtrend, that's no secret. I've actually been waiting patiently to short that puppy, and the time may be here now. As most of you know, I like to scale into my positions. So I'm taking my first poke at it here at 1.5215

Furthermore, I closed out some GBP/AUD longs last night. It's also looking weak to me up here near 1.6600 The daily chart has been struggling for weeks to get much higher than 1.6800... could we have a mid-term top? I'm not sure, but once again... I'm taking a poke here to the short side.

As I posted earlier, I'm still short GBP/JPY for a scalp. I don't see as much opportunity to the downside here as I do in GBP/USD and GBP/AUD. If Sterling falls, USD/JPY will continue to be resilient and we may have more of a tug-of-war in GBP/JPY than we'd want to see. Until we're out of this range, there's no sense it building a sizable position either way. That being said, I'm still overall bullish on geppy.
