16 Feb – GBPUSD – Short
GBPUSD traded sideways throughout the week. It closed the week slightly higher @ 1.4490. My long bias strong for the moment but I’m cautious of heavy economics data coming out this week on GBP. If we see sharp deviations from expectation, Cable can prove to be volatile. Daily charts suggest pullback towards 1.4350 and uptrend could continue from there. Obviously, GBPUSD might fly through these levels and get down towards 1.41, major low.
As we speak Cable broke the consolidation channel to the downside providing good short setup.
Short positions can be established after the price pulls back to the resistance, former support at 1.4410
Stops above the recent highs.
Targets will depend on the data coming out this week. Jam SL to BE after 70-100 in money.
As the moment stochs are against me, but I expect them to be in place once this trade is filled.
