@Patriot: Could have been to do with gold tanking. AUD also fell against JPY due to JPY strength across the board. Cable has also fallen, so can't see that it's GBP strength ...

@Saka: Hi & welcome here. Yes, there is a lot of good stuff at FF too.

Personally, I've been getting away from technical trading and trying to get more into fundamentals (which I used to ignore 100%). The good thing about Ashraf is that he manages to combine fundamentals and technicals. I still think it's hard to find the right balance myself, but I'm still learning.
A lot of it comes from experience and I think it becomes instinctive, although it's not a natural instinct. We have to learn it in some way, consciously or sometimes unconsciously, being aware of how the market is changing as well of course.

Either way we can expect some recovery from today, but then what ...

In Thread: CADJPY Redux
@Pipped: Closed my short position in FTSE100 too early!

Oh well, can't win 'em all.

Still I suppose your friends in GS will be pumping it all back up soon enough ...

[Off-Topic, sorry, but am I going crazy (probably), or did the times shown in this forum use to be shown as GMT? At least that's what I think I used to see. I am currently now seeing ET. Just booted my machine, so maybe that's the reason].
