Relative Strength Index (RSI) of the market, when market is in uptrend, has touched 60.5-61.5 level several times (approx 8 time) so it is a strong level of market RSI and if this level is breached then second strongest level of RSI is 70-70.5 which it has touched 4 times, whereas market RSI reached 80 only one time in past 2 year.

The probabilities that it will test SMA5 in how many days are 1st day 64%, 2nd day 16%, 3rd day 13%, 4th day 5% and 5th day 2%. One of the key finding is that whenever SMA are crossing each other or fake out market touch its 5,10 and 15 days SMA frequently. Sometime SMAs give fake cross over effect and sometime it merge up or contracted which at a first glance seems like market is changing its trend but suddenly it enters in to its previous (same) trend. This fake out and contraction scheme doesnt last more than 2to4 days or we can say that fake cross out burst up when SMA5 and SMA10 creates a distance of approximately 25-30pips. In past 2 years market has made 12 crossovers (except fake crossovers and sideways crossover). Bullish and Bearish crossover indication is that there is a sharp change in the direction of SMA5 whereas SMA10 takes 3to4 days after SMA5 and in this period SMA5 cross SMA10 and SMA15 takes nearly 6to8 days to change its direction.

Bollinger Band basically shows the volatility of GBP/USD market. If the upper or lower band distance is increasing from the middle band then it shows the high volatility of market.

Whenever market breaches its middle Bollinger band it enters in to new successful trend except when it is giving an impact of fake out. Normally fake out effect doest not last longer (maximum 5 days). Sometimes market break its Bollinger resistance or support but Bollinger push the market back within its limits with in a day or two. Market makes nearly 35 to 60 pips on average outside its bands.
