I see no more serious downside risk for cable as hard brexit has been ruled out...

Price moves down to the support line to the point of 1.24212. I suppose that the price reaching this point will go up to the point of 1.25085. {image}

Hi Tekkonkira,

Trading double tops (DT) and double bottoms (DB) is tricky. In fact these charts patterns are the least reliable.

But if you still want to trade them you should at least wait for confirmation before pulling the trigger, because more than 70% of DT and DB are fake.
The confirmation is a breakout of the high between the double bottoms (see picture below) or a breakout of the low between the double tops.

An even more conservative way to play them is to wait for the breakout, then the pullback to the breakout line and finally you want the price to bounce back in the direction of the trend.

Happy hunting.

Short at 1.2502, 25 pip stop, the break-down is still valid and that reversal to the upside is not fooling me...

Thanks.

If you want even more info I recommend the Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns by Thomas N. Bulkowski, a classic.

Short at 1.2502
Out at 1.2520 (18 pip loss). Oh well, that leaves me with a 3 pip loss for the day (+15 -18), I can live with that.
Now looking for another possible short re-entry, the night is still young.

Watching GBP/AUD in the meantime, Autralian CPI coming up at 7:30 PM EST.

trend is still down on pound , but a big trend reversal could happen , especially following the Trump - May meeting

if it starts breaking north of 1.2600 / 1.2700 it could easily reach higher even 1.2900

i would be looking for shorts only if it breaks again 1.2100 / 1.2000 to the downside
