GBP's Technimentals

Recommended Posts

GBP weakened significantly against usd after touching session highs of 1.5591. Better than expected data from U.S labor department was a strong reason behind usd strength. UK construction PMI was better than expected which stopped further downward moves of gbp/usd.

Better data from UK supported GBP to gain significant pips against usd. Expected dovish statements from FOMC also supported this rally. Even though this week has been very good for GBP, UK wont look at it as something "BIG".

A bad day for usd which made it a good day for gbp.

After touching minor support level of 1.5197 yesterday, gbp/usd bounced back. Bad fundamentals from usd supported this technical move. Pair is now expected to go bullish and may start another bearish trend after reaching near 1.5385.

 

Next support zone is around 1.5034, as written in previous post.

Much better than expected u.s data pulled gbp more than expected. It has crossed the major resistance level of 1.5197. Total movement for the day was about -122 pips.

I will post possible movements, for the next week, in my next post.

GBP also took advantage of usd's fall against jpy. It is currently trading at 1.5225 (57 pips higher than open price).

I think price will continue to decline tomorrow because overall trend is strongly bearish. But stay on hold because price has moved up and 1.5197 is again acting as minor support. Wait for it to be broken and then enter short.

 

Tuesday's fundamentals are important

GBP's fall continues. GBP's economic recovery is, again, doubtful. GBP ended week in significant loss against u.s and euro.

Investors are starting to loose hope about uk recovery. BOE governor is in favor of additional stepts to strengthen gbp.

Previous month, GBP gained 340 pips against usd and this month it has lost 412 pips so far.

Economist were hoping that gbp's recovery, which started in previous month, is steady. But now those hopes are fading.

Next week we do not have any significant economic data release from U.K.

Almost similar result to eur/usd. There were no fundamentals from GBP today so strong u.s data pulled gbp. gbp/usd is 21 pips away from setting a 2.5 month low.

 

Pair is heading towards 10-march low, 1.4832, which is acting as major support zone.

Even though construction data from u.k was better than expected but it didnt have significant impact on gbp against major rivals. So far it is trading lower against usd and eur.

Against usd overall trend for today remains slightly bearish which seems to be a corrective move and result of better than expected u.s trade data. Today's trading range is 70 pips so far.

eur/gbp gained around 35 pips when spanish data was released but after that it has been bearish. At this time eur/gbp is trading 5 pip above day's open. Todays trading range is around 56 pips so far.

GBP went to almost 3 week high against USD.

Services PMI from UK was better than expected and this data was best since mar-2012 which supported gbp against rivals.

Pair has now consolidated around 1.5400. Technically short-term trend is strongly bullish. Next resistance lies at 1.5445.

GBP remained mixed against major rivals today. gbp/usd movement was very similar to eur/usd. After release of housing data from U.K, at around 23:00gmt, we may see some significant movement.

There were no major economic data release from U.K today. Gbp/usd remained mix today for day traders and slightly bullish for medium term traders.

Today gbp/usd went towards 1.5616, crossing today's support level of 1.5634. Since then, it is bullish.

Today it is expected to touch resistance level of 1.5737.

No new important fundamentals from U.K today.

After more than 200 pip fall within an hour day before yesterday, gbp/usd continued corrective moves yesterday. Today it fell again sharply crossing 1.5400 level. Corrective moves have taken it back above 1.5400 but day traders should call it off because it is not predictable anymore.

      Hi GUYS, Happy Wednesday!
      I'd like to share daily forex analysis from Followme, hope this information helps your trading.
      Today, Let's focus on AUD and NZD.
      AUDUSD is trading at 0.6761; the instrument is moving below Ichimoku Cloud, thus indicating a descending tendency. The markets could indicate that the price may test the cloud’s downside border at 0.6765 and then resume moving downwards to reach 0.6635. Another signal to confirm further descending movement is the price’s rebounding from the descending channel’s upside border. However, the scenario that implies further decline may be canceled if the price breaks the cloud’s upside border and fixes above 0.6825. In this case, the pair may continue growing towards 0.6905.

      So I've been 18 for about 4 months, since I turned 18 I started up an account, and basically thought I was doing amazing because of beginners luck, put in some of my savings and managed to do well, some days I would make £200, one day I even made £900, after time I lost my profits and made a loss as well. I've realised I need to spend the time analysing the market and making technical judgments. I'm trying to read more and spend a lot of my time looking at the charts. is there any advice people can give me. and is making 5% a week a realistic goal to set myself? before anyone assumes that im looking for a get rich quick scheme, im certainly not, I see every loss ive made as a lesson and ensure that I learn from each mistake I make. 
      any advice about indicators, strategies, how to analyse the market, or even analysing earning reports would help me.

      Firebird is an indicator to identify the price spikes in the market. Firebird indicator first calculates a 10-period moving average, then shifts this moving average a certain percentage above and below the 10-period moving average. The shifted averages are drawn on chart as the red and green line. When price touches these lines, price spike is identified. Usually after a price spike, the trend reverses for some time. The indicator can be used to take advantage of this price behaviors. In daily chart usually the 10 period MA is shifted by 2 percent to form the price bands. On lower time frames like Hourly, Four Hour a smaller percentage price shift is used like 0.5% . The important consideration here is most of the price bars must be contained within the upper and lower bands.
      When price reaches above the upper red band, a sell position is opened. When price reaches the lower green band, buy position is opened. Trades can be managed with proper stop loss and take profit. In the picture, Firebird indicator is attached to daily chart of EUR/USD with 2% shift on MA. Note that almost all price bars are within the price bands. And when price extends beyond these bands, price trend reverses and comes back into the bands.
