Morning all.

I manage a small bonds portfolio but trade a lot of GBPUSD as part of active FX risk hedging - or 'not hedging' if I believe by doing so I would add returns to my portfolio.

I found this GBPUSD forum and I'm keen to participate, looks very interesting.

My trades and views have a lifespan of 1-2 weeks, possibly longer if a big trend is obviously there. No real leverage involved, just moving from hedged to unhedged to overhedged depending on views of where the cable goes.

Now enough with introductions and in with my view: the GBPUSD now is very boring and with no real trend at the moment. I am short at 1.60005 but don't expect it to go too low (like 1.585 over the week or something)? The bias though is to the low side as still consolidating from the big rally from 1.48 to 1.62 we had over the last few months.

The cable has the advantage of being very volatile intraday when there are no real news coming in so that gives plenty of opportunities to assess exit or entry points. And at the moment there are no real news, inflation just at 2.7% as everyone expected, house prices are up as everyone expected.

Regards all and TTYL.

{quote} what will you do if it smashes through your nicely drawn uppper resistance line within the next 2 1hr candles which will also be a new 4hr candle. `Because` i see a lower trendline that could offer support for bulls which i added to the chart of the upper trendline you drew. I think we are going to get a breakout in this area soon. And the ZOOMED in 1hr chart shows that your upper resistance trendline is indeed doing it job well done as of now. {image} {image}
I hope you did ride the boat as i advised you to?

I don't see what the price has to do with technicals at the moment. its all fundamentals.

The Republicans and Democrats hailed a fresh new start and compromise in the morning, cable loses 1cent. the Tea party loons force ball less boehner to put forward a republican counter proposal less than 48 hours before the debt ceiling is hit and immediately cable jumps 80 pips.

How is this any more complicated than a default/no default trade?

And short again @ 1.5980
That 4 hr 200 EMA is a bitch but time we'll probably slice through it.
