Long GBP/USDFundamentals:- We are taking a short term Fundamental view on the GBP/USD at the moment. The USD has gone from strength to strength for many months now; every so often it will produce a pull back and some profit taking. The short term data has been a little worse than expected and with the MPC changing its interest rate vote recently we could see a continuation of the GBP strength, at least for the short term.
Technicals:- As you can see from the 1 hour chart we are hovering around an area where there is plenty of support and resistance levels. The recent push up is a sign of buyers coming back into the market, however at an over bought price on the 1 hour chart and current resistance would suggest a slight pull back in its upward path. there is a nice stepping upward pattern on the 1 hour and 30 minute chart as in the pic below
I would expect a poke at the bottom line and a fake breakout as the week draws towards the NFP figures at the end of the week. Overall a retest of the 13330 on short term sentiment is a strong possibility which I intent to profit from
buy limit:- 13177
stop loss:- 13107
take profit:- 13340

EURGBP - A deeper look on the lower timeframeHere's the chart I've posted about the Short in this pair.
With this chart, I want to give a more in-depth view on the hourly chart, although I only manage my trades in the original chart.
You see the Blocks (orange & red).
These are very often important structures. They have their merit, and we can get useful information from them, supporting our decisions in trading.
The downsloping yellow Fork shows us the most probable path of price.
Now, price reached the CL already.
Then a decent pullback, leaving structure (red Block) on the chart.
After reaching the U-MLH, price got a natural rejection (price is stretched) and then released it's energy to the downside (pink WideRangeBar).
Of course, it must pull-back, just to take out the weak hands, sametime running into the next structure - the red Block.
From here we will see a important decision playing out - Bears vs. Bulls.
Keep in mind that the really important part plays on the higher timeframe. So this is just a more insight into the playground of the madness §8-)

GBPUSD BULLISH BREAKOUT TRADE SCENARIO - 14X RISK/REWARDWe have a strong bullish breakout of the Kumo cloud, a Kumo twist, and a nice bullish RSI divergence.
Upper boundary of Kumo along with the Fib level held as a nice resistance.
Lagging strand of the Ichimoku graph has not collided with previous prices--yet. This is a signal for consolidation.
There are a few possible plays here: a minor channel-based play with an exit in the middle of the black consolidation area; a buy-in after the Resistance line and exits at or below ~1.358
GBPEUR longHi guys
I spotted a fib retracement that hit the 50% retracement line and bounced off. Its headed towards Target 1 on the fib retracement 0.6
I then spotted my previous completed harmonic. We have already hit the 0.3 target so we are prob headed for the 0.6 target.
Target 1 is about 100 pips and target 2 about 200-odd
GBPUSD Hourly, 2618 setup (LONG)Its been a while since I entered with this setup, but this one had a case with historical support and resistance area coinciding with the 2618. A clear double bottom, right at the level. With a break to the upside (break of the "v" point of the double bottom) followed by a 0.618 retracement - and here we already see some reaction.
Targetting retest of the previous high followed by a 0.618 retracement of the larger bearish leg - which coincide with 1.286 round number.
Stop loss below previous lows
GBPUSD Long Position After The Vivid UptrendMy bias for this pair would change if this pair attempts to remain below 1.3 and break the trend line. Moreover, 4h might confirm short entries when the trend line is broken.
Having had GBP on its lows, It may be time to get back up with an uptrend and far more formations. On the chart, we have an uptrend on the weekly level and also one on the daily level. A breakout has already occurred and I do see a continuation to the upper side in the course of the coming week. The breakout is followed by a bearish pattern which I do take as a retest/retracement.
SIMPLE ABCD PATTERN ON STERLING We pulled now back in our 40PIP´S FIB region to create that FIB C Leg. We also rejected of H4 Support 1.2970 and break CTL so far. Can we see a clear bull close above 1.3010 on next H4 close ? Then we may reach our Targets at first 1.3120 and second at 1.3170. Keep your eyes on the Charts..!!
GBPUSD long off election news in anticipation of Fed.Logistic Wealth Management

GBPUSD sold off harshly after election results.
Me being the novice trader I am jumped right in off the first woosh bar. Set my stop behind the first wick and through the night it stopped me out.
In hindsight the stop was way too close and I really have no clue what is going on in UK.
I know the USD is expected to fall, if move at all, Wednesday after the fed meeting. That being said XXX/USD pairs should continue to rise like eurusd.
The whole situation is out of the ordinary and this setup looks too good to miss again. I've waited patiently and here is my precision entry. I'd certainly expect a reasonable fill between now and Wednesday.
GBPUSD short 50k
Entry 1.25708
Stop (no place particular) 1.26500
Target 1.295

GBPUSD hourlyHere I'm trading the potential scenario where we have a retrace down to 61.8% fib of the recent bullish leg. This is then followed by a long opportunity. Will update this post when we get to this point.
Behind this idea we have a bullish reversal which is showing by change in momentum and a double bottom followed by a break to the upside (of the V point of the double bottom).
The long target is a previous support area at 1.293
