I have short on for GBPCHF, anyone has any close support other than 1.9620?

 

Today has been very tight despite the important news coming out. Is there any reason for this action?

Next area of interest we got resides a figure further down the ladder torero.

 

9510-30 has vibrated (ahead of 1.94) all the way back to early Jan.

 

Not sure what you mean by 'tight'? It's (Cable) only 30 odd pips shy of it's avg daily range. If you're referring to the general scenario out there, then I guess some of that reluctance will be down to fresh credit-crunch jitters entering the arena again on the back of the State Street conf call earlier.

 

Players began booking profits on one or two of the crosses, which blanketed the Euro. Yen crosses especially have been impacted. Still, it'll open up when spec & fast money accounts follow thru on any nervy breakout shifts, such as the one unfolding on Cable.

 

It will be reserved to specific pairs & dependant on levels.

G'day Torero... support on GBPCHF support below 9620 is pretty sparse given it's multi-year lows. I'd start basing my support levels off of daily ranges and pivot-based levels (daily and weekly pivot S/R levels). Otherwise, you have to go WAAAAY back in time to find charts that will give you references to support zones.

 

I think the more important news (CPI) coming out tomorrow is containing price action today on the yen crosses. I suspect if CPI increases in accordance with consensus, there may be some yen selling going on (if only temporarily). A response similar to what happened with PPI today wouldn't surprise me. But ultimately, unless the Fed starts to talk up the dollar with stiffer hawkishness, I can't see a dollar rally taking away too much from yen strength.

 

BTW, I won't trade this idea unless the bigger dogs do so first. Have two plans of action, and follow the one that best matches reality. Profitability in this game is all about being a reasonably good (and aggressive) sheep. You want to be as close to the leader sheep as possible. Too close or too far from the leader, and the wolves will gladly pick you off.

Apparently my target didn't even make it to 1.9620 before it went the other way and hit my stop. I had a small position on since I saw GBPUSD was not doing much except going the other way, which I didn't like that too much. Thanks, guys.

Apologies torero, I got my ninety sixes all tangled up :o

 

Gave you the chatter on the wrong pair..

 

Yeah, as Cowpip say's the long range defense on that pair is a little sparce. A case of respecting the close quarter levels (hourly & sub hourly reaction lows) if you're intending chasing it back & forth on the lower time frames.

Hey Cary,

 

My brother informs me your buddy (Jack) is trading out of Hawaii these days? I assume he’s rolling FX?

 

Is he being bankrolled by Frank Pooley’s outfit in Honolulu? Buk didn’t elaborate or say as much.

 

Good for him, he must have caught Big Frankie on a good day. He’s a miserable son of a bitch at the best of times.

Sorry to hear that, Torero. The saving grace is the small size, which was wise (imo) considering the whippy nature of price at those levels. Price is quite "springy" down there, isn't it?

G'day, Anna!

 

Yep, he's still rolling FX. He hasn't been able to roll full-time though, until now. He just arrived (this week, in fact) and has picked out a nice place to stay with an ocean view while he rolls his coins. I'm not sure of the other details you've asked about. He's quite excited about it all.

 

I'd be packing up and choosing a shack somewhere warmer too, but my kids would mutiny! I won't trade family sanity for scenery (at least, not yet). :doh:

Prices flopping into Krantzy’s lower tier (from post #8) which should now act as a soft ceiling if we get a healthy close into the lower sixes down here.

 

Time to get your 1.94 calling cards located children, playtime is looming!

 

That ceiling will be softer than usual this morning judging by the London boy's reaction to the Merrill news.

 

Aggressive buying on this pair into the open from Mid-East accounts should drive it (& GY in sympathy) thru the layered stops. Intraday specs & fast money stops continuing to get whacked on this 2 way ratcheting.

 

Who'd be a short range player in this environment?

 

Looks like your defenders are out in force this morning Andre. Rain check on the 9400 :cool:

Well Mr Krantz, I'd much rather have mercurial Mid Eastern compadres stomping point than a raggedy assed russky twitching & balking at the first signs of supply.

 

Successful assault & coverage of 9720 see's the color of 775, otherwise your ceiling holds for now.

 

I couldn't resist posting Jimmy's technical masterpiece here abouts ;) He must have sneaked 2 extra large mugs of caffeine into him as Tokyo stoked up last night (+ he aint a member here, so he can't fight back heheheh).

 

Shame it took place during the Jap doldrums, not a bad little flip even for him!!!!! :)

You best watch your step cowboy, Jimmy has a buddy on here who just happens to pack a little (moderator) muscle!!

 

Aint that right torero? ;)

 

He's equipped to fire your ass directly to the sin bin for a stretch if you go disrespecting his buddy in public :o

 

Besides, that flip is still floating & registering profits, headed for his upper reaction level as we speak!

 

See how this current hourly bar plays out on that ugly old Cable. You might have some more defending to do at the days lows yet mister!

You boy's got your 775, time for a smoke now ahead of our (U.S) inflation numbers.

 

Yen Bulls getting repelled at those sub 100.75 stops for now. NY appetites might be a little juicy for those along with that batch atop 9850 on your Cable upline.

 

See those French windbags cackling to the wires again this morning as EU blows thru 5875. Do they seriously suppose we're as stupid as them?? :o

Keep posting, Andre, I'll just copy and paste PMs to him on fxstreet :haha:

 

Wow, new high for EU again, not surprised it was a matter of time. Been watching the ascending triangle forming since mid-March, now to make a decent entry...

He's long gone from across there torero, Mr Krantz has him on a tight leash these days :)

 

No, he's a smart fella is Jimmy. I can't hold a candle to his technical ability & that's a fact.

 

He'll be nodding affirmatively when he spies that nice clean graph of yours I'd imagine. He might suggest you bin that weird looking angular line on there, but you'll get a box of candy & triple malt for your horizontal markers for sure ;)

 

Horizontal markers are the bitches britches as he say's :o

Yeah, I've noticed over the few months that angled trendlines don't hold up too well in forex, mostly horizontal lines, which is what I base most of trading decisions on. It's certainly helpful to have these trendlines from time to time to identify the bias on the direction during consolidation periods such as the chart I posted above.

 

Aren't you all technically skilled in order to trade forex? Or are there elements of fundamental analysis by brainstorming what-if questions (like Bruce Kovner does)?

Ho ho ho, I’m splitting my goddamn sides here. For chrissakes don’t let Jimmy or that grinnin Irish genius across from me see these couple posts, they'll have me sitting a 20 question tech exam by sun down.

 

torero: yeah, we keep tabs on the main techs across the pairs. Some a little more closer than others. I guess if folks go stomping all over those itty bitty timeframes then they’ll require to be wired into the circuit a little tighter? But generally a 60m+ view will give us all we need.

 

Horizontal grids, an awareness of the key supply-demand zones, a check on the main drivers (fundamental flavors) & an eye on the wires is about all that’s required to feel your way round the table to be honest.

 

Folks have a nasty habit of making life awful difficult for themselves. Analysis overload? is what it’s termed as?

 

Mr Nuuu Yaaaark (Kovner) made a whole lot of his dough on the back of “stupid governments & clueless central bank bandits” & he aint wrong there. There’s still a lot of dough to be made from that particular quarter, believe you me.

 

As long as we got clueless half wits running the treasuries/finance streams & major trade floors out there, they’ll be a dollar to be made. Particularly if they’re Russian bank desks or high agg spec operators :)

 

I had to get that one in Gregorvy!!!!....just waiting to be tagged LOL.

 

Blowfish: we're quite partial to your John Smiths & Wherry Ale. Anna & a couple of the girls cook their grey cells with the Irish Cider & Black stuff, but on the whole it's very palatable :)

Counter bids unusually light at the 650-80 huh Annie Oakley? Those pirates talk a lot of shit at times.

 

(weak) Russian lethargy if you ask me, that + EU/GB hot thru .8025

 

See how much reliance on that the Pound bears are likely to stomach.

 

Time to get your 1.94 calling cards located children, playtime is looming!

 

 

Sorry for my delay here- a few "Life issues" cropped up in the last 48 hours. Yes sir, working shorts when I can get in on the high side. But have been having some good fortune taking the longs on the pump-ups also. Love this market- can win no matter which direction you favor!

You sure will have today that's for sure. Soon as 775 consolidated, the shorts ran for cover & fired off those close quarter stops thru 9850.

 

Fleet of foot the name of the game (again) if transacting Cable this week :)

$/Jap just popped thru heavy (technical) stops at the much touted 102.75 for 103 torero. A lot of desks have been primed on that number past couple sessions.

 

Crosses will attract 'sympathy' accompanyment, especially GBPJPY. For extra confirmation on that pair; see Sterling strength (Cable & EURGBP).

 

EURJPY has been well bid all the way through the pipe into late NY trade, knocking on from very heavy appreciation (stops) thru the key 161.50 ceiling.

 

Just take a looky at your technical graph re; the EY, that tells you all you need to know regards that baby.

 

 

Now, if I could just drag that pain in the ass vsa thread stirrer & the rest of those bandits out of the bars, we might earn a few more commissions before the day's out :)

      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.

    • My wife Robin just wanted some groceries.   Simple enough.   She parked the car for fifteen minutes, and returned to find a huge scratch on the side.   Someone keyed her car.   To be clear, this isn’t just any car.   It’s a Cybertruck—Elon Musk's stainless-steel spaceship on wheels. She bought it back in 2021, before Musk became everyone's favorite villain or savior.   Someone saw it parked in a grocery lot and felt compelled to carve their hatred directly into the metal.   That's what happens when you stand out.   Nobody keys a beige minivan.   When you're polarizing, you're impossible to ignore. But the irony is: the more attention something has, the harder it is to find the truth about it.   What’s Elon Musk really thinking? What are his plans? What will happen with DOGE? Is he deserving of all of this adoration and hate? Hard to say.   Ideas work the same way.   Take tariffs, for example.   Tariffs have become the Cybertrucks of economic policy. People either love them or hate them. Even if they don’t understand what they are and how they work. (Most don’t.)   That’s why, in my latest podcast (link below), I wanted to explore the “in-between” truth about tariffs.   And like Cybertrucks, I guess my thoughts on tariffs are polarizing.   Greg Gutfield mentioned me on Fox News. Harvard professors hate me now. (I wonder if they also key Cybertrucks?)   But before I show you what I think about tariffs… I have to mention something.   We’re Headed to Austin, Texas This weekend, my team and I are headed to Austin. By now, you should probably know why.   Yes, SXSW is happening. But my team and I are doing something I think is even better.   We’re putting on a FREE event on “Tech’s Turning Point.”   AI, quantum, biotech, crypto, and more—it’s all on the table.   Just now, we posted a special webpage with the agenda.   Click here to check it out and add it to your calendar.   The Truth About Tariffs People love to panic about tariffs causing inflation.   They wave around the ghost of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff from the Great Depression like it’s Exhibit A proving tariffs equal economic collapse.   But let me pop this myth:   Tariffs don’t cause inflation. And no, I'm not crazy (despite what angry professors from Harvard or Stanford might tweet at me).   Here's the deal.   Inflation isn’t when just a couple of things become pricier. It’s when your entire shopping basket—eggs, shirts, Netflix subscriptions, bananas, everything—starts costing more because your money’s worth less.   Inflation means your dollars aren’t stretching as far as they used to.   Take the 1800s.   For nearly a century, 97% of America’s revenue came from tariffs. Income tax? Didn’t exist. And guess what inflation was? Basically zero. Maybe 1% a year.   The economy was booming, and tariffs funded nearly everything. So, why do people suddenly think tariffs cause inflation today?   Tariffs are taxes on imports, yes, but prices are set by supply and demand—not tariffs.   Let me give you a simple example.   Imagine fancy potato chips from Canada cost $10, and a 20% tariff pushes that to $12. Everyone panics—prices rose! Inflation!   Nope.   If I only have $100 to spend and the price of my favorite chips goes up, I either stop buying chips or I buy, say, fewer newspapers.   If everyone stops buying newspapers because they’re overspending on chips, newspapers lower their prices or go out of business.   Overall spending stays the same, and inflation doesn’t budge.   Three quick scenarios:   We buy pricier chips, but fewer other things: Inflation unchanged. Manufacturers shift to the U.S. to avoid tariffs: Inflation unchanged (and more jobs here). We stop buying fancy chips: Prices drop again. Inflation? Still unchanged. The only thing that actually causes inflation is printing money.   Between 2020 and 2022 alone, 40% of all money ever created in history appeared overnight.   That’s why inflation shot up afterward—not because of tariffs.   Back to tariffs today.   Still No Inflation Unlike the infamous Smoot-Hawley blanket tariff (imagine Oprah handing out tariffs: "You get a tariff, and you get a tariff!"), today's tariffs are strategic.   Trump slapped tariffs on chips from Taiwan because we shouldn’t rely on a single foreign supplier for vital tech components—especially if that supplier might get invaded.   Now Taiwan Semiconductor is investing $100 billion in American manufacturing.   Strategic win, no inflation.   Then there’s Canada and Mexico—our friendly neighbors with weirdly huge tariffs on things like milk and butter (299% tariff on butter—really, Canada?).   Trump’s not blanketing everything with tariffs; he’s pressuring trade partners to lower theirs.   If they do, everybody wins. If they don’t, well, then we have a strategic trade chess game—but still no inflation.   In short, tariffs are about strategy, security, and fairness—not inflation.   Yes, blanket tariffs from the Great Depression era were dumb. Obviously. Today's targeted tariffs? Smart.   Listen to the whole podcast to hear why I think this.   And by the way, if you see a Cybertruck, don’t key it. Robin doesn’t care about your politics; she just likes her weird truck.   Maybe read a good book, relax, and leave cars alone.   (And yes, nobody keys Volkswagens, even though they were basically created by Hitler. Strange world we live in.)
