CABLE

A minor correction to the larger target, adjusting down to BSL.
Just my newbie opinion; this does not constitute a trading recommendation.

AU and NZ bulls today on H4. My targets are 0.7102 and 0.6085.
I'm not holding overnight. Taking profit here, my new entries will be after the retrace lower. I'm looking at GU at a high of 1.3820 this week.

AU +70p
NZ +40p
GU+52p

Cable still climbing, breaking key resistance levels, presents a classic market dilemma:

"Buy the Rumor, Sell the News."

Cable strength suggests bullish sentiment is currently in control, likely driven by:
A weaker US Dollar on softer US economic data expectations.
Technical breakout momentum and algorithmic buying.
"Pre-positioning" ahead of high-impact data (like UK GDP, US CPI).

Emerging political crisis in the UK is a fundamental shock that could trigger a sharp reversal.

The Scenario:
Markets are buying sterling on economic/data optimism (the rumor), but may sell aggressively if the political situation with PM Keir Starmer deteriorates, creating a governance crisis (the fact).

Expected Market Impact (if political pressure intensifies):

GBP/USD ↓ (Bearish) Political instability and leadership crises undermine investor confidence in the UK, leading to capital outflows and sterling weakness.
FTSE 100 ↓ (Bearish) UK political uncertainty typically increases equity risk premiums, causing selling pressure and higher market volatility.
UK Gilts ↑ Yield (Bearish Price) A political crisis raises the UK's sovereign risk premium, pushing bond yields higher (and prices lower).


This is highly likely a "buy the rumor, sell the fact" setup.
The "rumor" is the positive data momentum; the "fact" could be a political meltdown.


Trade Idea (Conceptual): you trade your own idea. i don't know where Cable will go after this, but for sure i'm sure to meet up with Waveskie later for a small drinks

GBPUSD_H4. I'm not looking beyond this low/high range this week. I'm aiming for a high of 1.3840, with a possibility of price getting to 1.39.
