GBP/USD is breaking out on the dailies to the downside

March 9th, 2009 Mark Gavalda No comments

If we keep current levels until the end of the day (or go even lower), than we’ll have an interesting situation on the daily charts: bot of my two trendlines (one horizontal at 1.3984 (which is ~last week’s low) and the lower TL of a descending wedge will be broken for good. That means the next stop is 1.35, January lows! I wouldn’t dare go long today… ;)

Forex outlook: GBP/USD stuck in a channel

August 7th, 2008 Mark Gavalda No comments

Today was not so lucky for me, I was expecting a move to the upside from 1.9460 and I went long. As you can see it wasn’t a bright idea, I managed to get out early and reverse the position, but still in the red for today.
Looks like Cable is stuck, in a channel with at least three resistances (mostly intraday) and one support, so guess what, I will favor a downside breakout. From 1.9420 I will jump into a sell-off again, and only up from 1.95 I will consider bid… Looks like new winds blow for the USD, it’s gathering strentgh day by day.

Quick scalp for 10 pips on GBP/USD

August 6th, 2008 Mark Gavalda No comments

I spotted a “channel” on GBP/USD and when we reached the resistance line last time at 1.9545 I went short and exited at 1.9535 because the movement became flat. I will reenter at the bottom or if a breakout happens.

Took profit at +16pips overnight

August 6th, 2008 Mark Gavalda No comments

My GBP/USD buy position was closed while I was sleeping, because I put on a 15pips trailing stop, just in case. Price is very volatile this morning so I don’t have any problems with this 16 points profit now. We’re at a trendline support now which also formed during the night, if price breaks out to the downside I might consider a short position.

Going long on GBP/USD @ 1.9540

August 5th, 2008 Mark Gavalda No comments

Hey guys, Seems like there’s a good support at 1.9525, so I went long now at 1.9540, with a S/L at 1.9515 and TP up in the sky. Maybe we’ll see some retracement after they decided to hold USD rates at 2%…

NFP at -51k, good for USD, but for how long?

August 1st, 2008 Mark Gavalda No comments

I was trading GBP/USD, managed to take out +50pips, the direction of my forecast was okay, I was off of the actual amount though. I admit +5k was way too optimist, but clearly we can see that recent numbers, now including NFP, were better than expected, maybe this is another good kick for the USD bulls. As all this week, I will again look for another opportunity to go short on EUR/USD or GBP/USD and long on USD/CHF of course.

USD finally gets some beating

July 25th, 2008 Mark Gavalda No comments

Good morning everyone. I have to admit I’m happy to see that the dollar is finally getting some serious beating across the board. The only one that didn’t move (yet) is the GBP/USD because GBP is getting sold also! EUR/USD finally up to 1.5732, let’s wait and see if it’s just gathering momentum for another selloff or this is really the end of the retracement and now we resume the uptrend.

Closed eur/usd and gbp/chf with modest loss

July 22nd, 2008 Mark Gavalda No comments

I have to admit I never thought this movement was this powerful so I have to admit the loss and pulled the plug at -30 on both pairs. I will monitor closely for a place to enter again. God knows where this frenzy will stop…

Bought eur/usd, sold gbp/chf

July 22nd, 2008 Mark Gavalda No comments

I can see a trendline limit on both eur/usd and gbp/chf this is why I decided to enter the market. Bought e/u at 1.5851 and sold gbp/chf at 2.0434 and then again at 2.0441. Let’s see what happens. (Have you seen that oil is at “record” low?)
