Trump on Friday- I would expect volatility
If he is all Presidential - dollar rallies

Ending on a ROUND number
Round numbers (or psychological numbers) are also important support/resistance levels, especially if they end with a triple zero, I cannot agree more.

Now let's see what Yellen's speech in San Francisco (due in 15-min) will do to the Dollar...

Yellen is still saying "Test, test, 1, 2, 1, 2, test..." in the microphone.
Just kidding.

You are welcome my friend.

If you like to trade with round numbers then this book should greatly interest you, it's called The Quarters Theory: The Revolutionary New Foreign Currencies Trading Method, by Ilian Yotov.

The whole trading system is based on these important psychological numbers.

Happy reading.

Seems like the GBP/USD is now going to the all-important 50% Fibonacci level (1.2220), which is also a support area (blue line).

If that level does not hold watch out...

I never was a big fan of round numbers, the Pairs react on them but partialy,
but since the Brexit and especially in the last months i mentioned how this Pair reacts on them.

I could post you more than a half dozen examples from the last weeks.

I adapt my trading by the situation and Pair and the situation NOW is,

dont trust any dojis, part patterns, hsh or bbqs aso,
simply have wide SL and draw your trend-lines on weekly. Till now im doing fine with that.

Thats why i initially replied to you.

It was obvious what will happen since the beginning of the week.

The tricvky goal (as usual) was to choose the right line.

Ok, here is a 10-year weekly chart for the GBP/USD. All I can see is weakness of course but no specific, clear-cut trendline of any kind:

(Personally I never use weekly charts, they are virtually useless for day-trading purposes).

Alright, the GBP/USD has now lost its momentum and is just fooling around so I will concentrate on the GBP/AUD, ahead of the Australian Unemployment numbers due at 7:30 PM EST, because this is where the action is.

I put a limit buy order at 1.6308 on that pair for two reasons (see chart below).
1: The price was clearly rejected at the 50% Fibonacci level.
2: the price is making higher high and higher low, always a very good sign during the Asian session.

I expect at least 100 pips on that trade.

Yep, that's the plan.

Most likely scenario, in my opinion: the cable is going to drop to 1.2220 and THEN it will continue to go up.

Yesterday's gain seems short-lived, the Pound has pulled back and risk remain towards the downside, next resistance level can be found at 1.2200/2190 zone. Uncertainty is still high, many unknown still ahead of us.
