TRY on the Attack

Thursday, December 15th, 2011

Good Evening Dynamic Traders,

The week is almost upon us with one day left of playing on the markets.  I am going to stick with the USDTRY tonight, because I want to round off the action this week before I move on to something else.
In the day chart below you can see that price has been making another attack at the support line over the last couple of days. Today has seen price close in a bearish stance, however do not rule out the chance of price break above this line.  Price still has every opportunity to continue to climb, we will have to wait and see what fun price brings us over the next couple of days. Realistically we will have to wait till at least Tuesday, because things will calming down on the Friday and we will have to let price settle after the weekend and the after the action that Monday brings us.

If price is able to beat the support line and figure of 1.90 I personally will not be jumping into a trade until price has confirmed that he has beaten the support line and figure. When I have this confirmation I will be using my trust ESLT tool to jump into a long position.
What will your plan be?

I hope you all have a great end of week.

Exciting Times on the USDTRY

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011

Good Evening Dynamic Traders,

I hope your all having a great week.

I finished my last update with a brief comment on the USDTRY and that is exactly where I want to begin this update.  In the day chart below you can see that price has been in an uptrend for many months now with some deep backs of late.  Since the beginning of December price has been displaying signs of bullishness and price is now looking at making an attack at the all important figure of 1.90. This is the exact reason why I wanted to post an update on this chart.  If price can beat and break above the figure then we should definitely be getting ready to jump into a long position.

However it may not be that easy for price, because the figure 1.90 has denied price on 2 occasions. The first occasion saw price perform a deep pull back, however on the second occasion price did pull back, but it stopped at a Fib breather level, does this mean that price will have a better chance on the third attempt? The next couple of days will provide us with answer.
If price can beat the figure, I wouldn’t suggest that we jump in with both feet straight away, but to find out my plan stay tuned for my next update.

I hope you all continue to have a good week.

Pound Still Struggling On

Friday, December 9th, 2011

Good Evening Dynamic Traders,

I hope you’ve all had a great week and with the weekend finally upon us we can begin to rest and get ready for another week ahead.
Tonight I would like to round off following the GBPUSD so that we can look at following something else next week. In the day chart below you can see that not much has happened since my last update, because price is definitely ranging. This isn’t too much of a problem it just means that we have to be patient.  Personally I will be looking at price breaking down, because the further price drops the higher this chart will climb up my watch list.

To round off the following the GBPUSD – “Watch this space”.

To finish this update I would like to introduce you to a chart that has also caught my eye and that’s the USDTRY. This is chart that I have written update fairly recently, but things are starting to look very interesting again, which is why I am mentioning it again. I hope you all have a great weekend.

Struggle on Pound

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

Good Evening/Morning Dynamic Traders,

My Apologies for the late update, been busy at work with Christmas fast approaching. My tree is now up (courtesy of my girlfriend) and Christmas shopping almost done.

I hope you all had a good weekend and a good start to your week. We are now half way through the week and I want to have a little cheeky look at the GBPUSD again. In my last update I mentioned the fact that price is climbing and if you look at the day chart below you will see that price had started to fall after the pull back, but the descend has slowed and price is in danger of oscillating. Why is this?

You can see in the day chart that I have marked out a previous support/resistance line, but if you look carefully we do have lower highs, so price is still weakening for the time being. Once price breaks below the support line at the figure of 1.54 I will start to look ready for a shorting position. Currently this chart is definitely on my watch list.

I hope you all have a good rest of week.

GBPUSD Heading Down

Friday, December 2nd, 2011

Good Evening Dynamic Traders.

The week has finally drawn to an end and I hope a good week it has been too.
With today being NFP, I chose as always to stay away from the markets, however I would like to round off the week by revisiting the GBPUSD.
In the day chart below you can see that price has stopped climbing and changed directions, which is what I was saying might happen in my last update. However price has been known to perform acts random on NFP day, so we will have to see what happens next week.

If price does continue to drop there are 2 very important areas that we should be aware of.  The first area is the support line that saw price start its latest breather which is in close proximity to the figure of 1.54. If price is able to drop below 1.54 then the support line at the figure of 1.53 is next important area, this is also the area that lets us know if a shorting position is or not.

I hope you all have a good weekend.

Pulling back on the GBPUSD

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011

Good Evening Dynamic Traders.

I hope you all had a great weekend and a good start to the week. We are now half way through the week with a couple of days left, but with only 1 trading day really because of NFP this Friday.
Tonight I want to look at the GBPUSD, because I mentioned in my last update that price seems to be giving us some food for thought. Having said that if you look at the day chart below you will see that price this week has pulling back and climbed since Monday, why?

Price is nearing a major support line, but in the day chart above you can see that price had fallen to a support line just above the major support line, which would also be our shorting signal. This will definitely delay any kind of shorting action, but as always we have to be patient and let price do what it wants. Furthermore I can’t wait to see what the NFP will bring us in regards to price action on other charts, such as the USDTRY and the USDCHF.

I hope you all have a good rest of week.

Come on next week

Friday, November 25th, 2011

Good Evening Dynamic Traders,

The weekend is now finally upon us and I hope you’ve all had a great week. Winter is definitely under way with the weather turning really cold.
Price on the USDCHF has finished this week with on last bullish action. Price has jumped and tagged the exact same place last time price climbed this far. If price is able to continue this push in strength next week, we should be getting ready to size up a long opportunity.

Food for thought
I would like to outline some other charts that have caught my eye. One being the EURUSD, although the EUR is having a hard time lately, it doesn’t mean that we can’t trade it, but it does mean that we may have to be extra watchful. Currently price action is looking weak and getting rather close to an entry signal.
The GBPUSD also a chart that is in currently in a downtrend and also getting rather close to an entry signal.
USDTRY, this chart over the last couple of months has been looking tasty and I can’t wait to see what next week brings.

Normally on the arrival of a weekend I cant wait to chillax, however I am very exciting by the fun and games that the markets could being next week – bring it on.

I hope you all have a great weekend.

Carpe Diem
