I am seeing hidden bullish divergence on the 4hr timeframe. Hopefully, it will not go any lower than 2.0088.

Its now sitting at its famous 85 reversal number, with little downwards momentum, so in the "old" days when cable was active, IŽd have expected a bounce. These days I dont know!

My analysis with the cable today seems that cable will drop to 2.0050 today and continue the upward trend target 2.0370.

What do you think guys?
I second that

i dont think you need a bloomberg terminal to access bloomberg, as a user you are supplied with a key, (correct me pls), well thats what my friend did. He entered some login details and was requested to scan the key on the monitor, weird

So you guys are trading off the terminal? I had a look at the spreads sometime ago, not too impressive though, but i guess thats how the banks trade, the spreads a pretty volatile.

leachimeewg, are you an institutional trader as well?

not sure abt what you meant by a key, but if you talk abt the terminal you can either log in via user id and password or via fingerprint.

nope i'm not trading off the terminal.

well bloomberg isn't a bank and the spreads are huge, pretty much same as most places. imho, only time you see huge spikes in terms of spread is when you trade news..

If we zoom out into the daily, cable seems to be triangling up and down without a clear direction.

Well im very sure he did flash a device on the screen but that was sometime ago maybe its all different now.

Anyway, price data from bloomberg has to be top notch, you guys are trading on an A-Star platform. Man...

WTB,

It does indicate that we are likely to see a tighening range eh...less a breakout in either direction can be a very profitable consideration. Looking at tonight's PA on dollar index could give us a clue on where cable is likely headed.
