the news were pretty $-negative, so why is cable going down?

Really poor news for US and price is dropping in cable - market sentiment could mean a drop is due? Thoughts

Other thoughts USD/JPY going down again will pull GBP/JPY down. DOW and S&P futures now down, in a bizarre way could this news mean cable bearish as carry trades may be pulled down?

since Friday cable has had seven attempts to breach 2.0000 and it's failed, perhaps not miserably, but it has failed. yeah, with the amount of volatility anything can happen, but i still see cable going to .9730-50. still short, and nothing really has changed my mind. if anything, remain even more positive for the dollar. bad US economic numbers out today and pound remains static

GBP buyers are gonna squeeze it in the waiting for clues about upcoming hikes. If (when) the economic data shows to be cooling-off - exactly the rate hikes role - GBP will be dumped.

In the other hand

USD buyers/sellers are gonna hold in the waiting for a clearer position from FED about interest rate.

That's gonna take MONTHS to unfold

I still hope it's just a phase! I'll be in complete denial for the next few months...

Days with +100 pips range are now good old memories cause they are so rare nowadays! Exactly the opposite of what used to be!

But if I would have to guess I would say thta we are going to 2 today... But then again cable could be done for the day and range between 0.0001 to 0.0002 pips until end of day

BTW, that's exactly what the monthy chart is showing. One month reversing the previous' move.

Anyone long at December open would be 300 pips in profit right now, 6 months later

A perfect post and that's exactly what has been going on for the last few months. Take a look at the price action in 2001 and you'll see some similarities. It took the cable about 18 months of quite miserable activity to build a long term bottom. So if we assume that long term top is currently being built we have still a few months to go.

...too 'optimistic' (for the pound) a scenario in my opinion - i see .9730 very soon, certainly not months anyway. i could be wrong...

Not optimistic. I'm talking long term here. 97 is still quite high in the long run. I'm talking real massacre when UK data starts showing weakness.

a CPI 2% is UK's target, meaning "forget about rate hike". If BOE has overshot, CPI tends to go much lower, then bringing the ghost of a rate cut into play.

Call it cycle, not a big deal

yeah, i agree with you long-term, now that you have clarified what was said. i understand now, i wasn't making a criticism. yes, you are correct, .9730 is still relatively high. anyhow, i am short, nothing has changed my mind - as yet. by the way, quite like the idea of a 'real massacre' to sterling.

Oookkaay... 6 crappy 15min candle in a row....

Many of you guys were already pissed-off with cable, specially camisa. Now the random shooters team has got a new member....

I'm going to leave now for a while as to shout, say, 300 cursing words, unload a AK47 at the bus station from my balcony, drop 15 granades down the stairs and press all the buttons in the elevator.

Just to cool-off a lil bit.

Keep your CNN on in the next hours.
