Today, I would like to show you interesting stuff. Look at monthly #1 chart. The red line is a MACD Predictor. There are some ellipses on the chart where market has shown trend shifting to the opposite, but during the next month has negated this shift. After this kind of signal market has shown strong move the opposite direction, so that previous extremes were taken out. Now let’s look at the previous price action – see the same pattern just two months ago. Will it lead market to 1.70? Who knows… But we can’t exclude that, especially as price action currently confirms this assumption.
Monthly#1

At the second chart #2 I just renew the previous picture. As we’ve estimated on the previous week, 1.35-1.40 area is a strong historical support, that includes major 5/8 support from a historical low in 1985. So, market has bounced from this level again, and this level of support holds market since 1992, when there was a first touch.
Monthly trend is bullish now, so, the next bullish target is 61.8% expansion from ABC-bottom pattern that agrees with deep 0.786 Fib resistance level and just above this area – 1.6623 monthly overbought level. Normal price action suggests that market should bounce from there. Context of possible move to 1.6422 stays intact until market will not break below C- point or shift trend.

So, currently I think that move to 1.6422 on a monthly time frame is possible. This assumption will be canceled if market will move below 1.4230 area and trend turns bearish. Around 1.6422 price action can turn to Butterfly formation or triangle. But it’s a bit early to talk about. Also pattern of trend shifting failure assumes that market can even reach 1.7 area.

Weekly
There is no really interesting on this time frame. Trend is bullish, we have no overbought. Market has made a retracement and continues its move to the upside. Next level of resistance is the same – 1.5967 but it will be not so strong, when market will touch it for the second time. The nearest weekly target is 1.6315

Daily
As I’ve said - the 0.618 resistance will not be so strong, when market will touch it for the second time, so that has happened and market broke it out and even has reached 0.786 Fib resistance. Trend is bullish, level of overbought above the market. The next target is 100% expansion at 1.5879 and I expect that market can reach it. If 0.786 level will stop market for awhile, then we will have a possibility to enter long. So let’s look at support levels and where is better to possess ourselves on the long side…
Daily#1
GBP_D_27_09_10.png


As contrasted with EUR, here I prefer the nearest support level to enter Long. Here is why – we do not at overbought and there is no strong resistance just above us. Market has touched 0.786 resistance already, and in general this is a minor level. So I suppose that we should come aboard aggressively. All trends are bullish. My preferable area to enter – first support at 1.5705-1.5720. It includes previous highs, weekly pivot at 1.5713 and daily Fib support at 1.5705. Also, 1.5732 – is a Fib expansion, that has been achieved and if market is really strong I do not like to see deep retracement and return under the previous highs. The next strong support is 1.5624-1.5625 Confluence Fib support. Enter on the first Fib support with stops below the Confluence looks like not bad idea.
Daily#2
GBP_D1_27_09_10.png


4-hour
This time frame adds some details and now we can see, that in fact 1.5705-1.5710 – is 4-hour Confluence support, previous highs and weekly pivot at 1.5713. Also take a note of 1.5758 Fib support. I’ve drawn AB-CD move to Confluence support just as an example of price action that I’ll be watching for. Market can just reach a nearest support at 1.5758 and then continue it’s move up. In this scenario buying at 1.5758 with stop below 1.5705 will be good opportunity to enter long, but I still think that market should touch 1.5715-1.5720, because, usually, when market breaks previous highs, it retests them later.
GBP_4H_27_09_10.png


That’s being said, in contrast to EUR, we do not have overbought level and strong resistances above the market. Also market has passed already 61.8% expansion. So, I think that we should come aboard more aggressive than on EUR.
Personally, I will be watching for price action around two levels – 1.5758 and 1.5705-1.5710. Market can continue it’s move up from both of them. But I still think that 1.5705-1.5710 is more suitable, because very often market revisits previous highs before continuation move. The nearest target is 1.5879.

Sive, great stuff. I had a thought, would an analysis of the Eur/Gbp pair be of merit to validate that the pound may continue up while the euro may go down. Love your work, thanks for your efforts.

GBP/USD Daily Update, Tue 28, September 2010

Good morning,
I will not attach chart in current post, because that one that I've posted yesterday is absolutely valid.
Although we may see strong push down on EUR, on GBP situation is a bit calmer - we do not have an overbought on daily and strong resistance just above the market. So, watch for price action around 1.5710-1.5720 area. It's a bit early to talk about it, but, probably we can enter long from there.
 
Does anybody know why GBP is going down while the rest of majors are moving up against the dollar ?

GBP/USD Daily Update, September 30, 2010

Good morning,
market has perfectly accomplished our trading plan from weekly research - shown a shallow retracement to previous highs around 1.5721 and reached the 100% expansion target at 1.5879.
Let's look where we're now...
On daily chart market has reached 100% expansion target right below 88% Fib resistance.
On 4-hour chart market has turned to Diamond consolidation that is a reverse pattern like a H&S. But both breakouts possible. To talk about confirming upper breakout - market should move above 1.5867 high. The target is 1.5911-1.5940 area - this is an hourly 1.27 butterfly "Sell" and weekly pivot resistance 1.

If Diamond will work as it should to - there are two Fib supports that can become a possible target - nearest is 1.5737 and Daily Confluence support - 1.5645-1.5657 area

GBP/USD Daily Update, Fri 01, October 2010

Good morning,
Yesterday market has accomplished both of our target, that I didn't really expect. It has reached 1.5911 from ABC up move and then has reached 1.5640 Confluence support and absolutely disrespected 1.5735 Fib support level.

So, today, I suppose we can count on some continuation of downmove and can enter short after retracement. Usually, when market disrespected some Fib levels it can revisit them during the retracement. This is what I expect.
Today is Friday, so, there is not good idea to take position through weekend.
Personally, I will be looking for short-term Sell trade with entering on current retracement and target around 1.5640-1.5655 area - new monthly pivot point for October and daily confluence support
