GBP/USD right at major resistance, remain bearishSell below 1.2531. Stop loss at 1.2621. Take profit at 1.2378. Reason for the trading strategy (technically): Price is testing major resistance at 1.2531 (Fibonacci retracement, Fibonacci extension, horizontal overlap resistance, descending resistance) and we expect to see a reaction from this level for a further drop to at least 1.2378 support (Fibonacci retracement, horizontal swing low support). Stochastic (34,5,3) is seeing strong resistance below the 94% level where we hope to see a reaction from when Stochastic reaches that level. Reason for the trading strategy (fundamentally): The main news event driving USD today is the U.S. ISM Manufacturing survey. It is one of the biggest market moving economic releases because of its Prices Paid and Employment subcomponents which reflect sentiment towards inflation and labor conditions - two of the market's most significant health indicators. A higher than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the USD. We’re expecting forecasts of a decrease which means a bearish USD is expected, this goes against our bearish GBPUSD view, hence it is best to exercise caution on this trade.

Brexit chapter 2and we will take that guys! Well done to all those holding longs, not been a simple ride given the panic leg we have been experiencing. Risk to my thesis is a very noisy week on the UK front, lets keep the conversation open here for all those trading this pair and discuss the macro side as well as TA.. it's very difficult to have conversations in the chat now as too many members. Look forward to reading your comments and gl to all of those trading this week.

good spot for buyersMorning guys... ahead of Hammond on the mic this Wednesday with the UK budget this is a great spot for buyers to come in. This is a very attractive level to get long, there is nothing from the fed this week so despite the huge repricing we saw over the past week with the probability of a hike edging on 80% we still saw the dollar close last week to the downside. in the telegram group we got a good spot on usdjpy, this dollar weakness for the remainder of the week coincides well with the gbpusd long. best of luck and please remember to give this idea a thumbs up if it's helped!

GBPUSD Seeing strong support, remain bullishBuy above 1.2415. Stop loss at 1.2250. Take profit at 1.2850. Reason for the trading strategy: Price is at our buying area once again as we remain bullish above 1.2415 (Fibonacci retracement, Fibonacci projection, horizontal overlap support) to play a bounce up to 1.2850 which is our long term resistance. From there, we can expect a bearish reaction. This is aided by the completion of a corrective structure we have just seen. Stochastic (55,5,3) is seeing strong support above the 8% level and has made a bullish exit and is approaching pullback support.

GBPUSD take our profits and turn bullishBuy above 1.2384. Stop loss at 1.2330. Take profit at 1.2521. Reason for the trading strategy (technically): We close off our short position and lock in our profits from last week. We now turn bullish above 1.2384 support (horizontal support, Fibonacci retracement, Fibonacci extension) for a push up to 1.2521 resistance (Fibonacci retracement, horizontal swing high resistance). RSI (34) remains below long term descending line but also sees a short term ascending support potentially pushing price up on the intermediate term.

Cable, sovereign debt crisis We are looking at a trend change in British pound so pay close attention to events ahead. A close above 12674 will be bullish and a close below 12200 will warn of possible decline. A risk to see complete monetary reform as early as 2018 exists, the long term risk adjusted in real terms for inflation also remains a long term risk. This market has remained bearish since the 28158 high in 1959. With no yearly bullish reversals from the major low in 1985 warning we remain in a bearish long term trend. This has warned that the overall trend of this market remains bearish since it has been unable to make higher highs. Thanks, your likes and comments are much appreciated!

The trendline runs netween 1.2450 & 1.2500 this week (50th week `16). Prices above confirms only the upside trend! Basic price action should be next 5 days in this trading box !? 1.2674 was monthly high last november`16 1.2505 was this month (december`16) low A BreakUp (of the trading box) could imply new December`16 monthly highs - even 1.2776 & higher. A BreakDown )of the trading box) will test the upside trend (even between 1.2450 & 1.2500) - lower prices could initiate price pressure to 1.2333 (October`16 high after selloff) & november`16 (1.2299) at least ... Take care & analyzed it again - it`s always your decission ... (for a bigger picture zoom the chart) Best regards Aaron
