Hello Chonchy. I hope all is going well with you. The usual thing here - too many cocktails, slow horses and fast women.

It just is, OK?

But seriously, it was considered to be a good pair. The last two years have lacked a useful daily trending behaviour, a lot like some other pairs. The London open trades well off a small Asia range, for obvious reasons. Then you could read this: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...50#post3193650.

Then you might consider it is a pair usually with good liquidity that doesn't have US dollar in it, so you don't over leverage on Usd...

Good enough? Not sure...

Where we are now, approaching and consolidating at .8200, is a bit tricky. My experience tells me we usually break and go lower with this behaviour. In the past we have seen various scenarios here. It's a significant point. Gbp/Chf is playing around at 1.48...

What do you think?

Now comes the big fall, I reckon.

Fakey off the London open @ .8283 with an engulfing hourly bar leads me to believe shorts are the way forward here:

Not so simple! We broke and retested last year's lows and so there could be a tussle here. Around the .8270 area. I'm out.

I'm hoping for .8400 if I don't get knocked out at 3 : 1 where I have stops. I see your .8370 although I didn't have it marked. If we go down to retest .8350 and bounce from there, then a complex looking head and shoulders could be validated with a technical target of .8580.

Don't wind me up, lol. We are having wonderful weather after a very wet winter. It is now cold and crisp and sunny. My favourite kind of weather. Hoping all is good in your part of the world.

Of course you may be alluding to the price fixing "scandal" which so many are talking about. So now traders aren't allowed to talk to each other? Trading desks aren't allowed to profit from their deals? Clients aren't allowed to choose another bank?

I'm looking for a further move up to around 8550 after a fill in over the next few days of some gaps below. I see the daily trend line ran back to the pip to fill in the weekly gap before breaking the daily trend line. Entered some shorts at a good level with three good inefficient moves below waiting to be filled. hoping to get back to 8250 before running long again and filling all gaps above.

Thats the plan anyway

This pair seems to be stepping down nicely from the high at the moment.

eurgbp between critical level of 8350 and 8365. Unless it can break and stay above 65. A break below 8350 and then 8330 would see the pair going on a downtrend mode.
Hindsight is useless if you never learn anything out from it

Looks like 330 is holding for know. Will add some more shorts if it gets back to test 355. I see it could retest 375 from some inefficient moves down.

On EUR/GBP we currently see two super strong currencies battling it out so fiercely that neither pair has given up more than 50 pips this past week.

Even with the GBP/USD trading slightly lower this week but holding support and the EUR/USD seemingly finding endless buying</a> neither pair has been able to gain the upper hand this past week.

If we see risk on continue out of the weekend GBP/EUR may slide a bit more but expect buyers to come back in and put up a fight.
