After the News and US inflation numbers today and all that drama of cable up and down, what has happened finally is that Cable kept its place around 1.3740 and the DXY fell like hell. It happens to be a perfect platform for cable to go down as the DXY starts climbing again.
Again just an observation.
My observation may be wrong but intent correct. Stay calm!

{quote} Patience is necessary again. These opens above 40 is a good sign But still have to get out of some of my longs if 50 not broken before the end of the hour. Although anything can happen, it is not worth it for me to hang around the top of a well established range for this long, unless absolutely no sign of selling happen beyond that time, but is very unlikely. Thats it for me then. Have a good night all, wishing to all the very best as always !!!

Times up, its starting now or not today, moved all SLs at BE, and if lucky, grabbing a little profits around 55- 60, rest open for 1.4 as always !
If I don't mention SL and/or TP = longer-term setup possibly in the works!

IMO: A break above 37700 will be a good run.
37700 still needs to be broken for a good bull run.
I might be wrong.

{quote} Sellers stepped in twice around 1.3770.. then pump and dump for CPI. Now dollar is sliding, wait and see. That 1.369x area held really strong again. {quote} I might do the full switch- I always get disappointed by the other pairs. To me cable has a very particular 'look' when it's about to make a big move so it's pretty easy to get a good scalp entry with a tight stop. It's a dream for intraday traders if you're happy to get in and out quickly, even reverse direction quickly for extra profit.
Starting to shift in my view. With yields sliding it looks like the dollar may slide further, possibly due to the worsening corona situation. I thought maybe rising inflation would signal the opposite but it appears not. https://www.ft.com/content/1fa1641a-...7-e131845c8888

We do have GU looking like it may move up on the daily, it's been looking like accumulation on a daily demand level. So potentially ready for long breakout tomorrow. On the other hand dxy has been dropping for a while and is on a daily demand with a gap to fill higher up. Will follow the price as usual. No point getting married to a point of view if the market is hinting otherwise.

Peculiarly CPI isn't a good measure of inflation ,but still it gets to the point you can't hide it. Retail sales would literally be what they sold, I'm thinking that would be the better gauge to where we are at. Why scam CPI numbers? 1 social security 2 gov workers wage 3 military retirees 4 food stamps 5 real GDP 6 adjusts tax brackets a) The past CPI measure is =cost of goods b) The latest CPI measure is =cost of living Which basically means they can adjust any rise rather than an actual rise in price.Theres a human element open to interpretation...
In all this, what the BOE did
The FED printed a lot (the printers are on fire), the ECB printed a lot ... BOE?
For months there were rumors of negative interest rates, but they did nothing atm.

They doubled their Asset Purchase Facility. It's 900B enough?
Didn't they do anything else? Is there anything else they can do?
What do you think about?

You're right all Western countries are painted into a corner ,
I don't spend much time considering Uk because I don''t think the scale pro rata is any where near the same.
US is attempting growing out of the problem and UK will attempt austerity at that level of debt.
The Uk central bank is more independent than US ,but neither are truly independent as they should be.

I started to consider about BOE when one month ago I saw GBP turning bearish, in my analyzes on Daily/Weekly charts, on almost all pairs (waiting for 1.30 on GBPUSD)
Also, if you look about stocks, UK100, US500 and DAX. The UK100 is the only one under the level before the COVID-19. US500 and DAX are pushed from the fresh money.

So the expectation now could be a faster bearish action for the US500 and DAX when central banks stop printing (or before...)??? While UK will remain stable ?? Time will tell

Anyway it seems strange to me, from someone like Boris Johnson I would have expected an "aggressive" monetary policy for this period. Maybe it didn't happen because the BOE is more independent, as you say. Or maybe I don't know enough about British politics

So, since last year GBP has gone up to 1.42 because the FED has printed so many USD, the dollar has devalued, weakened ... BOE has printed much less and therefore GBP has been stronger up to 1.42

This is clear

Now perhaps the market sees the strength of the US economy, so USD gains strength. While they also see possible austerity in the UK, then GBP loses strength. Possible return to 1.30

Waiting for Powell to say when and how the stimulus will be decreased/stopped, then we could understand if there is a possibility for GBPUSD to rise towards 1.50, maybe, in several months. In the US they will also have a strong economy, but they will find themselves with a huge debt and a tax increase, the economy will suffer it

IMHO

Politically speaking
the British will not accept bad money management and I would point to Corbyn who just had the worst defeat ever with a high spending program sweets for everyone.
Against the US, which Im amazed, the deficit has been accepted as a way of life whoever is in power.

I'm confident in saying the the political Uk majority of citizens will reject MMT.

'Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) is a heterodox macroeconomic framework that says monetarily sovereign countries like the U.S., U.K., Japan, and Canada, which spend, tax, and borrow in a fiat currency they fully control, are not operationally constrained by revenues when it comes to government spending.'

Managed to safely enter again at 34, watching 40-50 level carefully. Another failure and this could be it for the bulls for a while... And good selling opportunities will arise again. Waiting for middle of range to be above 3750 to consider more longs. Soonest will probably be tomorrow, but you never know !

Volatility growing timidly after hours of decline and stagnation. Worth walking through an opening door. Buy stop @ 1.37636. Just adding to longs. SL and reverse for a range trade @1.37498. Expiry in 15 minutes. That is my max with this pair on ASIA

Happy wednesday all !!!
If I don't mention SL and/or TP = longer-term setup possibly in the works!
