GBPUSD: Getting closer to the ST support level

Monday, December 21st, 2009

The GBPUSD is trading around an important long term support level, and as you already know, when the market trades around an important LT level, it creates a short term range, in this case the pound-dollar’s range is from 1.6202 to 1.6072:

So basically what I’m waiting for is a breakout of either extreme of the range to start looking for a trade opportunity.

Here is my trading plan:

If the GBPUSD breaks the ST support level, I will be looking for short trade opportunities. My next LT support level is at 1.5806

If the GBPUSD breaks the ST resistance level, I will be looking for long opportunities (my next LT resistance level is too close, so need to make sure the trade has a good Risk-Reward ratio).

If the Pound-dollar keeps trading in between both ST levels I will do nothing.

Trade Safe

GBPUSD: Still in a bullish market condition

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Even though the GBPUSD has been ranging in the last 4 or 5 trading sessions, we are still in a bullish market condition looking for long trading opportunities. Here is the chart:

GBPUSD

GBPUSD

The pound-dollar broke the previous resistance level (now support), this should take it to the next long term resistance level around 1.6658.

My Trading Plan

As long as the Sterling keeps trading above 1.6276, I will be looking for long trading opportunities. All take profit orders will be set below the next resistance level around 1.6658.

All short opportunities will be ignored.

Trade Safe!

GBPUSD: Bullish market condition, longs in play

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

There has been a few changes in the GBPUSD since last week, the market was rejected from 1.5822 a previous important level, so I decided to move my long term level to that area. Here is what I got:

Based on this analysis, the GBPUSD (pound-dollar) is in a bullish market condition and we should be looking for long trading opportunities.

My Trading Plan:

As long as the market continues to trade above 1.5911, I will be looking for long trading opportunities and will set all my TP orders below the next long term resistance level around 1.6156

All short trading opportunities will be ignored.

Trade Safe!

GBPUSD: Getting ready for breakout

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

The GBPUSD is trading just at an important long term resistance level around 1.6986. The thing is, the market is creating a short term range in between 1.6907 and 1.6988. Please take a look at the next chart:

GBPUSD

GBPUSD

We need to see a break of the short term range before we start looking for trading opportunities. Seeing the EURUSD already broke the top of the range, my bias would be long in the GBPUSD, but we can’t take decisions based on other currency pairs, we need to wait.

My trading plan:

If the market breaks the short term resistance level, I will start looking for long trading opportunities, the next long term resistance level is at 1.7477.

If the market breaks the short term support level, I will start looking for short trading opportunities, the next support level is at 1.6552.

Good luck

GBPUSD: Short trades in play

Monday, June 15th, 2009

The GBPUSD was rejected from the long term resistance zone around 1.6620, this makes me think the market will go short in search for the next support zone, located around 1.5914. Please take a look at the chat below:

GBPUSD Pound Dollar

My trading plan:

As long as the market continues to trade below 1.6327 I will look for short opportunities (already have one short). All take profit orders will be placed 40-50 pips above the main support zone.

Good luck with your trading!
