Im thinking investing in the pound right now might be a good idea. Buy low and sell high...

Not a bad idea (that's what I'm sure any self-respecting US Banker is doing now). Or at least book a holiday. The USD buys a lot of GBP at the moment.
When £1 bought $2 (about 10 years ago) I purchased £10,000 worth (all I had! but it gave me $20,000). That paid for many years of USA trips I did, because it dropped to 1.5 in 2008, and hovered between 1.4 and 1.6 since then.
The week before Brexit, I put all my spare cash (about £2500...all I had...) into dollars at £1=$1.46 just on the off-chance that we went out. I'm glad I did. I have two USA trips planned this year; I am hoping that the exchange rate will improve for me next year, when I will need to buy more dollars.
Check out transatlantic airfares; they have dropped through the floor, because no one is travelling due to the financial uncertainty. If you are American and are cash rich, now is a good time to book a vacation to the UK.
So in summary: If I lived in the USA with a chunk of cash in the bank earning very little interest, I would buy Sterling.

A close above yesterdays high, would indicate considerably more upside.
And as well, a close below yesterdays lows, should indicate a downtrend.
I'm already positioned for the downside and as such, would lose a chance to make money if market rises.
It's possible for another high after a pullback, here.
I don't try to play exact highs and lows, rather I prefer taking the safer, chunk out of the middle.
Warning--following what I do could cause serious financial harm!

The entire EU financial structure is ripe for melt down, starting with Germany, France and then the UK.

Stop taking instructions from Brussels. The UK joined the EEC by referendum in 1972, but there was never a popular vote to join the EU who are run by un-democratically elected politicians..
As regards Brexit, we in the UK should blow the explosives in the Chunnel, cut all telephone lines across the Channel, and make our own destiny (like we should have done ages ago).
Someone here on Bogley once made an excellent comparison: Let the Canadians run the US government and all US taxes go to Ottawa (or words to that effect).
I'm embarrassed to my international friends and colleagues that our UK government (and the opposition...in fact the whole UK political establishment) have been acting like petty children in their squabbles for personal gain, when they seem to have lost the bigger picture of what will form the future of my country (and indeed Europe) for the next 100 years or more.
I will add that despite Theresa May being a "remainer", she has stayed true to delivering what the UK democratically voted for.

So like some of us here in the US, taking care of oneself FIRST is a prudent step.(Nationalism)
I do think if the US and Great Britain achieve a level of nationalism, it will change the world.
Such as destroying the un and likely nato, although I think nato has value, the un, not so much.I'm not Spartacus
