A Look Back At Forex Trading - 4/18/06

A Look Back At Forex Trading - 4/18/06
Cable final broke through the super resistance at 1.7600 yesterday. Even though we had a losing trade last night, I have to say I am glad to see that tight range behind us. Maybe now we will see a few prolonged and definable trends.If this is the case it will make it much easier to make a good profitable trade. On the other hand Cable could just as easily slide right back into a consolidation sideway market. Only time will tell.We we lick our wound from last night and bid farewell to the 1.7600 resistance level. It served us well over the past few months holding on at least a half a dozen occasions. Lets take a look at last night and see what it took to break that resistance. Was it a 20, 40 or 60 pip move, no way? It took a lot more than that to break through, it was a 150 pip move that did the job. Only a move of this magnitude would have the momentum to break and hold above the established resistance.Last weeks trades were not bad, but last night was not so much. We now have a possible trending market to play for the first time since the first of February.Tonight we are trading around 1.7710. We are looking for a buy for the first time in months, and some of our traders are going to play both a buy and a sell at opposite end of the expected range.There is some support around 1.7706, and even more around 1.7680. The first resistance is going to be around 1.7750. We do like to caution traders on making too aggressive of an entry, the 1 hour MACD is still on the sell side of the signal line, although there appears to be some divergence on this chart recently.
