No need to look for charts or indicators. As Mr Hunt stated hard brexit, this means GB government wants weaker GBP. So better to short out of hoping 1.30 levels..... Good luck to all of you mates....

Okay so here is my summary for my trading position. Remember I entered early last time on my buying not considering my analysis of 460 pips-500 pips bearish trend from the top of 1.3210. I entered because there are fibos that can support the price at 1.2790 or 1.2770 but it went down to 1.2720. I just buy again 3 from the bottom and ended up to have 12 buys. 12 buys was never really my plan I scalped my 3 best positions so if it goes back I can put back positions in there. Yesterday I was able to get out 3 positions I have at 1.2770 levels and sold again leaving me to have 6 positions only. Right now I was able to take the 1.28 levels leaving me to have 3 buys and was able to have 3 sells. Those 1.28-1.2810 buy was able to be put in a better position like 1.2790 1.2777 and 1.2765

For the daily candle all I can see is that it might close to 1.2830 then retrace for 20-30 pips and go tomorrow to 1.29. so best if you can buy the lowest it can reach for a day

I see that a correction to at least 1,2860 is required. however price may test the day low near 1,2750-55 before further up. Good Luck

WaveGen It does make sense you have to take into consideration the summer jobs students take and mostly on a minimum wage level as you can see that the average has dropped. also its still on risk off mode so no fresh positions on the buy side,but when this passes you will see all data come through GDP and the unemployment plus we still have CPI's that should be good or on tap
