FOREX GBP/USD 23rd December 2008


Expectation that GBP was heading down towards the January lows @ 1.93320, price hit 1.93370 when US FED cut rates pushing GBP back upwards...

Around these extremes in monthly timeframes, the currenny often swings back towards the monthly 50% levels, in this case price moving upwards towards the February 50% level starting from next week.....

When Price broke Monday's lows, then expectation that price would move down into Tuesday's lows....

The market is trading in the middle of the 5-day range, therefore it can go either way until the end of the trading week, before a new trend establishes from next week...

At This stage I would use the Daily channels as Risk plays, trading Resistance and or breakouts, because it wouldn't surprise me to see the rest of the week continue to move into a sideways pattern until next week..

No probability trades for Wednesday...
