Gbp falling/broken the trend line support-200+ pips up for grabs

122
Right so the charts are showing us that the GBP since the beginning of this month has finally given up the top @ around 1.4760, its touched it 3 times, but the selling/ profit taking zone has proved too strong and now the sellers are in control.
Now if we look further out on the time scale you can see I have highlighted that this has actually been in a range of between 1.3660- 1.4760 so about 1000-1100 pips approx .
It broke trend line support about a week ago due to safe haven plays currently , with all the hostilities between D Trump and North Korea i'm not surprised, anyway its sitting on the 0.618 fib line a definite buying zone, if we break this in my opinion we will naturally fall towards the 0.5 fib line quicker than normal, which is back towards a strong buying zone of around 1.3660-1.37 some 200 plus pips away.

We have due out on the calendar this morning GBP - GDP q/q 2nd estimate and some other important GBP data .
We then have out Friday JPY -CPI y/y .

Both events are very important and the MKT's will be watching, so this pair will get busier in a moment, If GBP data misses then we will be entering short @ MKT for the reasons that:
JPY data has been improving lately, and its expected to tick slightly higher on the revised figs for Friday.

Short @ MKT ( 1.3950) post GBP data release if we get a miss ....

Stop @ 1.4050

TP @ 1.37

Happy trading people and stay tuned ...................
Order cancelled
Forgot to mention this was cancelled after the positive GBP data and JPY data coming in as expected .

Stay tuned for more
