GBP/USD Bargain Day, Looking For a Sell…

Posted on September 2, 2009 at 18:48 in Trading Desk by Ryan O'Keefe

Howdy Folks,

I didn’t post a New York preview this morning because I was busy selling USD/CAD this morning. I wish I had paid more attention to GBP/USD though because it had a great run up to the 61.8% ratio after $1.62 broke long. If you were around, I hope you made some pips on that run. Anyway on to this evening’s GBP/USD chart. There is some fun stuff going on GBP/USD’s daily chart. I talk about “bargain days” often in my weekly webinar and tonight we have what I would call a “bargain day” live, and in living color to study. There is a plethora of nifty stuff happening around this bargain day including the bottom of a larger ascending channel which has broken to the downside, a minor channel trend line and of course the round number of $1.63 just above today’s high. In my opinion $1.63 will probably be challenged overnight so I’m looking for a sell north of $1.63.

Here’s to hoping you U.K. traders gun $1.63, hint hint….

Best of luck,

Ryan

    Hi Radha,

    I do think that is possible, sometimes these “bargain day” corrections can be two or three days in length and I’m curious of $1.64 will hold. I don’t think it will but with NFP coming out tomorrow who knows what will happen at this point. We’ll just have let the price action lead the way.
