Forex Trade Ideas
Trade Idea Update: GBP/USD – Sell at 1.5380 Despite intra-day brief rise to 1.5502, the subsequent selloff from there and the breach of previous support at 1.5326 confirm recent decline has finally resumed and further weakness to 1.5270 (61.8% projection of 1.5716-1.5340 measuring from 1.5502) and then 1.5250, however, near term oversold condition should limit downside to 1.5190 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 1.4228-1.6747) and risk from there has increased for a rebound later. Read more... Trade Idea: EUR/JPY – Buy at 101.65 Euro’s rebound after falling to 100.77 earlier this week suggests a temporary low has possibly been formed there and consolidation with mild upside bias is seen for retracement to 103.00 and possibly towards 103.30/35 but break of this previous support is needed to confirm and bring retracement to 103.90/00.
