Forex Trading: Limit order 16/07/2010. Sell GBP/CHF @ 1.5970 , SL @ 1.6145 , TP1 @ 1.5875 TP2 @ 1.5810 TP3 @ 1.5740
The pair has been trending downwards and has made a small retracement upwards.
We want to enter the main trend which is still downwards but first wait for a confirmation the trend continues.
The entrance point is located below the last bottom the pair has made on the 4 hour chart.
More aggressive traders could try and short the pair from its current location but they should be advised the retracement upwards might continue higher and a SL of above 1.6170 is recommended for such traders.
The RSI is near 50 in neutral territory.
SL is located above the last top the pair has made yesterday and above the 100 period moving average which is likely to act as a resistance for the pair.
TP’s are located slightly above the support levels the pair has.
All analysis is based on the 4 hours chart.
Current rate: 1.6075
