GBPZAR UPDATE Still on the way to R25.00 to the poundThe charts never lie! I posted this trade alert in October 2022 with the massive Falling Wedge on the Weekly. It broke above the R20.35 and it showed the next strong resistance at R25.00. target will be R25.00. I called it a long term analysis but changing it to a MEDIUM term analysis because of how quickly it's accelerated. I guess we can only wait for the target to reach until the next trade alert is given. Poor Sout Africa and those holding rands (Including myself).

GBP/USD -11/5/2023-• Despite hawkish message delivered by the BOE today, recent USD strength is putting pressure on the pound and all the majors • We have a couple of Dojis in the recent past sessions which showed a slowing bullish momentum followed by a big bearish candlestick today • Bears are testing the 20 SMA which has been supporting the prices for a while • While there is a weakness prevailing, longer term trend is still bullish as long as the Pound is trading above the ascending trend line • One critical support level is very important for the bulls to defend which is in the mid 1.24s (1.2450-1.2460) which is the previous December 2022 - January 2023 resistance and the trend line support • Bears will do their best to secure several daily closes below the 20 SMA and the supporting trend line • From a risk reward perspective, bulls might wait for a re-test of the trend line before getting in the market again Traders, if you like this idea please comment and like ✅ Here to answer all your questions, Good luck

GBP is BossBullish Setup The next HH HL is the sinal of the Bullish Trend start Here’s the 4hr Elliott wave Chart from the 4/14/2022 New York update. In which, the rally to 1.6866 high ended 5 waves from the 2/10/2023 low in wave (1) & made a pullback in wave (2). The internals of that pullback unfolded as Elliott wave double three correction where wave W ended at 1.6579 low. Then a bounce to 1.6835 high-ended wave X & started the next leg lower in wave Y towards 1.6547-1.6369 blue box area. From there, buyers were expected to appear looking for new highs ideally or for a 3-wave bounce minimum. GBP Funamentals The GBP has experienced a notable rally in recent weeks, positioning it as the top-performing currency among the G10 nations this year. The unexpected success story of the GBP, now dubbed the "King of G10 FX," can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, the rebound can be attributed to a series of positive UK data releases in recent months, which were influenced by the significant decline in European energy prices and subsequent improvements in commodity terms of trade. Additionally, the persistent UK inflation, combined with reduced post-Brexit tensions between the UK and the EU, as well as diminished risks of another independence referendum, have enhanced the attractiveness of GBP-denominated assets. Asia overnight The sentiment was mixed during Asian trading as investors grappled with concerns surrounding the US debt ceiling. However, their optimism was boosted by China's better-than-expected exports data. Fig1: China headline news from 09/05/2023 There were also reports from newswires suggesting that Chinese authorities might announce additional measures to bolster the economy. Currently, Asian markets were trading with a mixed performance, while S&P500 futures showed a slight decline. In the G10 foreign exchange market, trading remained within narrow ranges, with the Norwegian krone (NOK) and Euro (EUR) underperforming, while the US dollar (USD) and Japanese yen (JPY) outperformed. Kazuo Ueda, the Governor of the Bank of Japan (BoJ), stated that the central bank would discontinue its Yield Curve Control (YCC) policy once inflation consistently reaches 2%. However, this statement didn't come as a surprise and maintained investors' view of the new BoJ Governor as dovish. In March, Japan's wage growth continued to be lacklustre, with real wages experiencing a YoY decline of -2.9%. This data is unlikely to prompt any policy changes by the BoJ. USD: Debt ceiling, regional banks, and the Fed The short-term outlook for the USD is heavily influenced by the ongoing drama surrounding the US debt ceiling in Congress and the outlook for regional banks in the United States. Market concerns regarding the prospects of regional lenders are unlikely to ease following the recent release of the Senior Loan Officers Survey. Additionally, the political deadlock over the US debt ceiling is expected to continue negatively impacting the USD. During the day, foreign exchange (FX) investors will closely monitor the high-level meeting between President Joe Biden and US congressional leaders, which aims to resolve the impasse over the debt ceiling. In terms of its impact on the FX market, any signs of progress between Democrats and Republicans towards a potential bipartisan solution, such as a short-term extension of the debt ceiling, could help the USD regain strength across the board. Conversely, indications that the political impasse has worsened may dampen the appeal of USD-denominated assets.

GJI've been quiet in that I haven't posted in a while but I have been monitoring the charts. So now I would like to firstly apologise to myself for not committing and doubting the work needed to be done. Secondly, I would like to apologise to anyone that does follow me and gets any value from what I do. This is my current vision of what I see and where I believe GJ is going. We are in the correction phase of a channel, so I will wait for a break (Violent one) downwards, a retest, candle confirmation and then enter and ride it the whole way down. I am challenging myself to post everyday even if it is just comments and not a forecast.
