Cup and Handle



Chart courtesy of Metastock & Advanced Get. Data provided by Quote Center and eSignal.

I trust we all made a tidy sum on the AUDCAD yesterday.

After doing my usual scan this morning I have picked up the GBPCAD for a few reasons.

1. The buy signal and golden diamond has shown up this morning on the daily chart.

2. The price has hit around the MOB level.

3. We have a a small degree of convergence on daily MACD.

4. Daily RSI reasched oversold and converged.

5. For the chart pattern enthusiasts, we have a nice cup and handle on the 1 hour and 4 hour charts.

Above we have a confluence of events. The point to note though is watch that MA on the 1 hour chart and couple that with a short term fib level and in addition The Figure, we may have a stubborn resistance.

I was speaking with a friend of mine yesterday who made a few good points I would like to share with you all in tomorrows post.
