Some of the losing trades I've had recently have been from shorting GBP -- which in hindsight I see were clearly mistakes I should have avoided. Now, though, I think we are starting to see some signs of GBP reversing and heading back south.

We've seen a series of strong bearish candles on GBPAUD as well.

We have some confluence there -- see the chart below. I'm interested to see how price action shapes up at that level; I may be interested in putting on some short trades if there are some strong signs of reversal candlesticks at that confluence level.

I believe the yen pairs have fallen to a support level, and so I've gone long CADJPY and AUDJPY under the hypothesis that support will hold and the market will rally to resistance levels from here.
Below is a chart of CADJPY featuring my entry point, stop loss level, and target profit.

And here is the trade I placed on AUDJPY:
