GBP USD WEEKLY ANALYSIS

STERLING SHOWING INDECISION
The sideways movement of the GBP USD in recent months points to a significant amount of indecision about the long-term direction of the pair. The Weekly Chart shows that there is a bit of a struggle to break beyond the Resistance of a large Pennant on the Monthly Chart, while the Daily Chart looks poised to continue the sideways dance for the time being.

The chart below shows the large Monthly Pennant setup that was formed after the period of risk-aversion in 2008 during the Financial Crisis that led to sharp gains for the USD. When the sell-off ended at the beginning of 2009, waves of uptrends and downtrends combined to form the current consolidation pattern.

MONTHLY CHART


The latest uptrend wave in this consolidation has taken us to just above the Resistance, where we see the pair moving sideways, indecisively. 

WEEKLY CHART



















Based on the Weekly Chart´s direction and position above the Resistance area, there appears to be a bias towards the continuation of the uptrend  However, the recent downtrend and uptrend waves on the Daily Chart, suggest a bearish turn is possible.


DAILY CHART




There have been two recent waves on this chart that look to be the type that lead to a consolidation formation (details in Trade Manual). The bearish wave on the left-hand side of the chart created Resistance and Support prices of 1,6821 and 1,6458, respectively. This was then followed by an uptrend back up to that Resistance area where we now have candles with Tweezers/Wicks that indicate a U-turn bearish is likely. Confirmation will come from a break of the uptrend lines, leading to another downtrend and a possible trading gain of 200 pips if taken.

As predicted several days ago, the GBP has rallied sharply above major Support area of 1,2000 to start an uptrend that will take it up to the 1,2750 area by Wednesday January 25th, 2017.

STRATEGY NOW UP BY 23.78% WITH RECENT 2.00% USD CHF TRADE

Image
This trade involved trading the False Breakout Reversal Setup that was taking place on the Daily and 4 Hour Charts last week, amidst the period of risk aversion across markets in reaction to the on going Coronavirus outbreak. This quick and aggressive trade took just 4 Hours in providing me with a 2.00% Rate of Return, just ahead of the Bullish Reversal that took place at Support. With this result, the new strategy is now up by 23.78% from just 14 trades, pushing me closer to the next major target of a 30% Rate of Return. As long as we carefully and patiently wait to only trade the setups with a High Probability of Success, large Rates of Return are possible for us in this difficult market.  VIDEO HIGHLIGHT OF THE USD CHF TRADE The main factors related to this trade that you'll seen in the Manual and in the more detailed Video Analysis available only to my subscribers were: 1. Accurately Identifying Consolidation

GBP CAD PROVIDES A 140-PIP TRADING GAIN FROM FALSE CONSOLIDATION BREAKOUT REVERSAL

Image
This successful trade took advantage of the sharp False Breakout Reversal from the Pennant Consolidation on the Daily Chart that started on December 3, 2015. As with all of these types of setups, the initial breakout attempt was quickly taken out by a strong, opposing signal that led to a breakout at the other end of the Consolidation. Given that this setup was in sync with the theory of False Breakouts that is outlined on Page 54 of the Trading Manual, the trade provided a strong gain of 140 Pips. The graph below shows one of the examples of False Breakouts that are explained in detail in the Manual. FALSE BREAKOUT SETUPS As you can see from the Daily Chart of the GBP CAD below, the setup was almost exactly the same as the one above.  DAILY CHART FALSE BREAKOUT PENNANT SETUP (FXCM Charts used to provide Entry Signals based on the New York Candle Close of the Daily Chart) Following the Bear Candle that attempted a breakout at Support, the bulls
