    GBP/USD June 25 - 2012


    GBP/USD is clearly trading lower and I see no value going long right now - instead I prefer being short as long as we trade under 1.5625 - aiming for 1.55.

    5525-28 comes in as a good supp....... if this fails should be heading lower as next best supp at around 5315..

    Patience is virtue. The sooner we learn this all, sooner we can start walking to the bank. Good Luck to all of us—
    The trick is to wait the price meet ur limits, instead of one jumping in.. however scalps is a totally different scenario and is not everyone's cup of tea

    not sure where this chart goes, but we have some support kicking in, which could keep pressure on the GBPUSD compared to EURUSD. a break under on the monthly prob will head towards the 200MA lower.

    daily we maybe, just maybe have enough resis that kicked in to bring price lower with the test of the 38.2 retrace. a break lower with what looks like another bear flag in the making?
    look to the left, trade to the right........

    Hi Jogold and other traders

    GU is still a big fat bear the trade I suggested last week is going very well The 200 SMA held and Cable will and must be below 1.5267 there in absolutely no chance of it going back above the 1.5700 before is take out the recent low down by 1.5267. I expecting the pair to test the 1.5000 before we get a decent lift. This pair will be declining very fast so don't waste time to hop in. Here are the updated charts.

    Supreme Court strikes down the whole health care law. May see a small rally in US markets. If they let it stand, bears still in control. If they just strike down the mandate. Not sure what will happen.
    Have courage to look beyond the short term.

    Hello Stryker I have not seen you for a while - good to have you back. Yes 1.53 looks interesting for long term traders - I would however rather trade the EUR/USD for long term as the trend is rather flat since H2 2010 - GBP is getting support from money moving from the Euro zone to UK

    GBP/USD June 26 - 2012


    GBP/USD still trades under its 1.5630 high and I expect this morning's run up to be temporary given the overall downtrend. GBP/USD tends to trade aggressively and trends to retrace most of its moves - I assume traders will therefore not place stop loss orders at the actual high rather just above 1.5650.

    If one is looking to short either the Euro or Pound sterling then the Euro is preferred due the fairly strong EUR/GBP down trend.

    Like the sound of that. Considering GBP is already overbought on the hourlies and 1.56600 is likely to be stiff resistance.
