GBPCHF 9/30

Pair in a strong downtrend.
 USDCHF near parity, 
GBP pulling back a little.
price alarms set @ weekly lows of 1.5350
Current FAS (or maybe bounce) on 4hr
Question: How to play the pair? Slingshot(during or even before price alarm)? How to put a target if enter? Target the low price back in early 2009(1.5120)? Should we looking for a buy opportunity instead?

EURAUD

plan: Long
Analysis:[Candlestick charts]
  • W1: strong downtrend; currently pullin back, price action broke (candle) lows from early May & late June of this year.
  • D1: channel uptrend after massive downtrend, still below the river
  • H4: Uptrend currently retracing; previous retracement cycle seems to bounce right off the river....looking to go up. Possible bull flag, looking to break to the upside.
  • Currency: EUR seems in a strong, not much retracements lately, seems like most traders are long EUR & holding w/ low amount of profit taking.  Most EUR pairs still have away to go in terms of EUR strength[such as EURUSD & EURGBP].  AUD been strong, but seems to be over bought.  Few pairs are @ significant highs(or lows) in terms of AUD strength[such as AUDUSD, AUDCAD]. Possible time for AUD to sell off a little while EUR strength might continue.

Looking for a bull flag break on the H4, maybe watching if candle closes above 1.4050, if not buy alarm @ 1.4100 w/ heatmap confirmation. Slingshot is great, but not necessary.  EUR strength or AUD weakness should be good. 

Stop Loss: 1.3950 (but watch for H4 cross)
Target: 1.4400 area & above
