Point 1: Thanks @Bones for his always intelligent and calm posts.

Point 2: I absolutely love this Pair atm. There is so much unpredictable action
and we trade a historical event at the moment, if someone did not realized that
till now.

All luck to all and i think it will be a cool week. Again. Or weeks

my view atm. is on daily GU forming large bullish flag and this large size (around 400 pips) is needed to gather momentum to push 1.3 or higher ,
and there will be times when bulls are ready we might see extra large white candle on daily,
anyway drop below 1.24 from current level should invalidate this view..

maybe something like this,
GU - daily

Well, it looks like I may have been a bit premature in taking off 1/3 of my long positions in Gbp/Usd at 1.2480, but overall I'm not complaining, as my account looks a lot healthier now than it did Friday - hoping to get the opportunity to buy them back around 1.2420-1.2440, but I've still got a pretty decent sized position anyway - plus, I picked up one more this morning at 1.2340. I'm a bit surprised by just the total range to the upside today given that it's pretty much a nothing news day. Any event, if this holds up, it's looking pretty strong since it just wiped out the losses from 4 consecutive down days.

My basic position on Gbp/Usd remains unchanged - the fall in the wake of Brexit was, in my opinion, totally overdone. I just don't think leaving the EU is going to substantially damage the UK economy long term.

My main fret at the moment is whether to hold onto my long Gbp/Aud positions looking for it to top 1.7000 or sell out here just short of that level - if anyone has any bright ideas, I'm all ears. I'm buying a bit of Aud/Usd to hedge those positions some.

Looking down the road a bit to year end, consider that even if they blow it up from here and, say, close out the year around 1.3500, that's still just in the middle of its 2016 range, and well off its 5-year high of 1.7100. Historically speaking, 1.2000-1.3000 is really, really low for Gbp/Usd.

When May talks markets listen
Her talking about being open to a transitional Brexit arrangement, and a final breakaway in occurring after 2019, doing away with workers on boards, rumours of tax cuts and Cable down for 5 consecutive days before today all helps

Will be waiting to hear of any response from Merkel or Hollande

1.2500 is strong ress imo, but bulls momentum is huge. Will look for break and then trade first pullback to this level.

GBP/USD failed to hold above 1.2500 and pulled back as find resistance. During the last hours, it has been hovering around 1.2470, consolidating daily gains.

1.2450 is looking like strong support and 1.25 strong resistance...I suspect ranging between these levels for a while.

Still long from 1.2390, with SL at 1.2448. Looking to sell below 1.2450 or buy more if it breaks and stays above 1.25.

This is my first post, been lurking for a while, trading price action and S/R breakouts with moderate success.

Keep in mind you've got a gap down from 1.2597 on the 4-hour chart - I don't expect it to be filled today, but I do expect it to be filled in the very near future.

Don't be surprised, or necessarily take it as a lasting downside reversal, if we see some significant backtracing tomorrow - the 50-period EMA on the hourly chart is still way down around 1.2410...although my best guess is a retrace that stops someplace between 1.2420 - 1.2450, and it's possible that it might not even go much below 1.2450 - we could have a couple of big up days in a row. Then again, I've learned to never think that I KNOW what Gbp is going to do.

Mary - I'm already long from considerably lower, so I'm not especially anxious about getting a buy order filled, but for what it's worth, I've got an order in to buy more at 1.2435. If I wanted to really try to get a bargain, I'd put it closer to 1.2420; if I were more anxious to make sure I got in, I'd put it above 1.2450. Best wishes.

There is something about this forum and the various post I see here lately. People narrate what they want to buy or sell, sl and tp, but WHERE ARE the REASONS, ANALYSES, THOUGHTS that is driving those Calls??? I guess the purpose of this forum is for intellectual discussion and education. What is educational in just saying you want to buy here or sell there? Where are the Reasons?? analyses behind the reasons?? Where are economic discussions and analyses here? Is this forum a personal journal? Nooooooo! Pls Pals, and great people here ,please bring back the education here, bring back the intelligent analysis here. Bring back the economic debates here and let this beautiful forum shine and pump bright with inspiring ideas. One Love and great respect to y'all .

Good point, bro. Worse still, posts like: 'Took profit on cable'; 'I made 1000 pips', 'Closed buy trade with $10k profit.'
