Comment

gb10y-us10y yield spread sagging a little but nothing wildly differing from current spot rate.

blue = range, break and hold below and revisit m1 support, if find support there then looking for retest of the rejected resistance. More likely scenario if brexit legal case has legs + dollar has another run. If extremes of either scenario could see dip below m1, if past grey extended support then could see larger downside (1.2762+) as naked lvl

If can break topside bullish towards a retest of rejected res, limits above range once break and hold for retest of top range. Bull threat of brexit legal headlines and dollar run

Trade closed: target reached

slightly divergent version of scenario 2. Found support earlier than m1 sup and retook range before heading topside range + breakout to retest and break rejected res. Probably going to dillydally into the weekend, but given a favorable open looking for a push to 1.2977

Comment

Want to see close above 1.2930 though

Data:

long data run for gbp on friday 9th and FOMC on weds 7th + USD services PMI on monday

meanwhile looking for catchy knife moments off headlines, around 1% aggressive bull moves (mainly characterized by vastly more bull candles with little let off for selling) on 5m within 20 bars seems to have an avg pullback of 0.51% in sept. over a similar timeframe (23 bars). Full retracement within a short period rarely seen, though.

Bearish moves of -0.8 (23 bars) seem to generate avg pullback of 0.56% (11 bars) in sept, same concept in reverse. RSI should be balls deep into <30 or >70 respectively. With avg being 73 & 23 @ peak of impulse

only half hearted sept data though, need bigger dataset from a longer backtest. + human run, not machine so moves picked off aggressiveness by eye not by a defined empirical measure. around 20 moves picked. Needs to break market structure to get in on the retrace as trigger // RSI gives an idea when the steam is running out
