As I said in the chart:

- I've provided 3 different scenarios - check the 3 different lines diagrams
- Most powerful support resistance points are intersection points of different support resistance lines.
- With this technique, it's easy to spot entry and exit levels as they are simply the nearest (or one back) support/resistance levels

I hear you 😉 i actually set stop on my short to BE just in case if price will bounce from lower channel. but if it breaks it would be great.

Look at the weekly chart on the cable, insert TimeZone Min, 52 week consolidation, support line from 11 January, possible return up about 1.577
Economic and political events may change that.
I'm lazy.

Thanks for the suggestion - I don't trade any fundamental data and your timeframe is quite long-term for me 😄 It is possible the pair is going up long-term, but I think we can still profit going short, short-term.

James, have not you tired of G/U? This bastard has led me up and down few times by now. Frankly this time it looks like down. Definitely down especially with other correlations. I closed my long at loss but decided to better go with gbp/aud. looks better than g/u. although again, aud/usd looks bad.

I simply cannot leave it be - I'm trying to find tradable patterns. It is definitely much more wild than EURUSD.

I gave up. I can miss the trend on it but there is easier pairs to trade now. gbp/aud is already in full steam down. it looks like safer pick to me.
