This is EUR/GBP (5 minute chart) for today since about 10 am this morning up until now (just before 8 PM)
That's not going decisively in either direction. FWIW GBP/USD is doing much the same (flip all!)Last edited by Jog On; 20 October 2010, 18:57."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon Musk -

£80bn saved over 4 years.
At the same time £200bn printed in 5 minutes.
All makes perfect sense to me.Comment

Take your start period back to 7/8am and you'll see something different.
As for GBP/USD and EUR/USD; there has been a lot of USD weakness today.

I was foolish enough to short the EUR today (against CAD) and paid dearly in virtual 'demo' money...
One day I hope to become the master.....

This 4h chart shows quite a ferocious uptrend - however is that some divergence on the MACD there?..

I was expecting more doom today, and feel slightly disappointed.
