Yesterday's pound growth is a rehearsal before a big moveYesterday's growth of the pound on all fronts (against the dollar increased by 150 points in less than half an hour) is a rehearsal before a big movement. Traders come out of the summer hibernation and begin to knead muscles.
We have already noted that this fall, pound pairs will constantly "explode". The fate of Brexit, and therefore of the pound, is solved practically in real time.
Therefore, whenever such things happen on the pound charts (see the figure above), with a high degree of probability this means news from the Brexit fields.
Yesterday the Bloomberg news agency published information that Germany and Great Britain had made a breakthrough in the negotiation process. Germany abandoned a few requirements to the UK, greatly easing the latter process of bidding. And since Germany is a key EU country (especially in terms of economy and filling the budget of the European Union), this kind of news should be taken as very positive signals for the pound.
Recall, the Brexit deal should be closed this fall. The current prices of the pound, in fact, reflect the option of leaving the UK from the EU without a deal. Accordingly, if the deal is signed, the pound will have a very wide space for growth. According to our estimates, we are talking about the marks of 1.41-1.43. And this is more than 1000 (!) Items, if you buy from current prices. Since we are confident of a positive outcome of the talks, we believe the purchase of the pound on all fronts is one of the best mid-term deals in the currency market this fall.

GBPUSD - AUG 27 - SHORT TERM SWING, SELL OPPORTUNITY!GBPUSD struggled to rise up last Friday even with the dovish statement of FOMC, unlike it's other counterparts EURUSD, XAUUSD, and AUDUSD. After the minutes were released, the pair had a limited upside. We attribute this held back upside move to a weak GBP rather than a weak USD. This week, we are looking to short this pair.
SELL GBPUSD.
Entry: 1.2850-60
Stop loss: 1.2900
Take profit: 1.2760, and 1.2690.
GBPUSD Sell OpportunityLast night we saw major USD pairs rally when PBOC bought some of its stocks and Trump's remarks on Fed Powell's rate hikes.
Today we expect USD pairs to continue its bearish trend before reversing. It broke upwards the lower trendline of the bearish channel during the fundamental effect of last night's news, but as long as 90 EMA holds, we are still bearish on the pair.
GBPUSD is at a horizontal resistance now, just below the 90 EMA on 4 hour timeframe. Failure to break above this will push us to go short on the pair.
Entry, stop loss, and take profit levels are indicated in the chart.

Potential 100 pip trades aheadPound has been moving strong but without any real long-term direction. We are approaching another key lever which is around 1.3175, it is also a 61.8 fib retracement level from previous bull run and the one before, seems like everything is lining up for a bullish run through the resistance we have touched yesterday. But also if we go below this level, we could see bears taking over and smashing the support 1.3050,... Ok, let's take it easy 1.3050 support is holding very strong with weekly confluences as well but if the 1.3150-1.3175 level wont hold we can expect at least a touch of 1.3050. Just wanted to give you guys a quick recap of what is happening, we don't have a trade yet, price action will determine nice entries but first, as said before lets see what price does around 1.3175.
GBP/USDSo basically, the way I have it drawn up as it did a 5 wave from the top, wave 5 being in the form of an ending diagonal. So, at this point, I would watch that 200 on 4hr to possibly give a buy setup in the form of flag. I circled where buy should have been from. I don't really feel like we can predict exact structure considering where we are at, but I drew up what I see as potential pattern. I consider it to be a buy setup and would think it would test that zone at least with a possibility of making some kind of flat pattern. Safest thing... Watch the 200 on 4hr, see if you get a smaller correction there. It can just break out, but watch out for a larger W-X-Y pattern to form. (That's the flat scenario I am showing). It's bout strategy.
GBPUSD short triggered based on Politics, Fibs, ResistanceGU short in play.
Several Brexit ministers just resigned.
PM May's future is in serious trouble, per many in the know.
Brexit Blues just might make a come back here soon.
So this a scalp to start, looking for the 4.25 extension of initial move down from the news.
The 4.25 extension also aligns with previously established Fib Zone (grey).
So my first TP will be just short of the zone and the 4.25.
Depending on how things progress (assuming towards TP) I might let some ride for a longer downturn if Political uncertainly in UK remains or increases.
GBPUSD H4With similarities to Aussie on the weekly time-frame we saw price form a bullish retracement to retest the downtrend at the back-end of last week. This was off the back of positive fundamentals and price seems to have formed it's lower high, rejecting the trend which is also in line with the refined Fibonacci region. Price has already broken the simple moving average and is testing the exponential moving average as support. Given the overall trend we remain bearish on this pair but we'd require a break back through this area of dynamic support before confirming our next leg to the downside targets at 1.3100, 1.3075 and 1.300. Should price hold at this level we'd require a break of the downward trend and moving average crossover to confirm bullish advancements. There are multiple resistance barriers for price to break through in confluence here so while possible I can't see the upside as a likely scenario.
GBPUSD: Washing & Rinse Bullish SetupLooking at the horizontal support levels (orange line) someone could easily say that price is breaking below current support and selling is our option. In my analysis this is a classic wash and rinse bar which is taking out stops hidden below previous lows before start climbing to the upside. Looking at the slope of price what we can say is that previous support (green sliding parallel) has stepped up - a sign that we do have a bullish context although it seems we are in a clear downtrend.
In addition to that we do have an oversold RSI which signals a potential end of current downmove.
This setup is one of my favourites and definately I am going long from current level with sl and tp as shown in the chart. In case it looks scary to you just wait for your favourite setup to complete at current level and buy GBPUSD.
Horizontal line near 1.32000 works?It seems that it responded to a horizontal line near 1.32000(In my chart,1.32108). The movement is similar to eurusd, but will it respond cleanly?
1) The horizontal line functions as a resistance
I choose short aim to before.MPP 1.30760
2) The horizontal line does not function as a resistance
I want to consider the long if it goes above the horizontal line and functions as a support, but since it is a phase where the trend seems to be going down, let's observe carefully.

bearish GBPUSD falls to bottom of channelGBPUSD is currently on a weak trendline and could go either way, but i believe with the dollar's recent strength to close out the week the pound is going to continue to drop. Look for a bullish engulfing candle to confirm short and then sell this pair, FOR SUREEEEEE
