Touch & Go vs Breakouts

I decided to write about what I learnt about technical analysis - if I may - I would like to generalize and and create two umbrellas - touch & go - and Breakouts.
Touch & Go - is where the market touches a point & reverses itself - the point is only valid if the market reverses itself [...]

What to expect for the gbp/usd pair starting oct 26th, 2008

I believe the market fell too fast - 2257 pips in one week - MY GOODNESS!!! - that’s a feet unlike ANY. I could not find any historical data that showed such steep loss.

Next possible Path - Bullish

will meet resistance at 7950 - if broken - can [...]

My first gbp/usd post

Resistance at 1.8300 (last week’s low)
A possible new resistance from the new high at 1.8200
A double-bottom has been hit at 1.7950

Next possible [...]
