Yes, Cable might reach 2, and even beyond. If this is what your technicals are showing, excellent. That doesn't invalidate the fact that the wise thing to do for 2008 is short the pound.

Anyway, time will tell.

i find this thread very interesting as i have a conundram that i just finished asking for help on my thread re roll over . the poLarity test also indicates the GBPUSD UPSWING IS SLOWING,
THE EMA 5,7 HAS JUST CROSSED THE 22 EMA, WHICH FOLLOWS gans charting as confirmation of a trend change, TO THE UPSIDE
from a technical point of view the fall of the US DOLLARS INTEREST RATE
WHICH MEANS TECHNICALY THE MONEY FLOW IS GOING OUT OF THE US DOLLAR TO THE HIGHER INTEREST ECONOMYS.
WHICH IS ALSO SUPPORTED IN MY POLARITY CHECK.
but the polarity of the currencys of the higher GBPUSD AUDUSD NZUSD ECT
IS SLOWING THE GAP Between theHH and the LL
ALSO FROM A TECHNICAL POINT OF VIEW THIS IS SUPPORTED BY THE MAGIC OF NINE WHICH IS IN NO MANS LAND
SO IM IN A CONDUNDRIAM
THE fundimentals are also at an impass as i see it for the japanese yen
will they raise there rates?

IM A GREAT FAN OF TECHINCAL AND FUNDIMENTAL TRADING TOGETHER
UNFORTUNATLY RE THE FOREX IM A NOVICE AS IVE ONLY BEEN TRADING THE FOREX FOR 2 YEARS AGAINST 30 YEARS OF TRADING SHARES AND CFDS

I FIND YOUR THREAD CVERY INFORMATIVE THANK YOU

well guys, FED decition is near. exercise your fingers and prepare to take the side you think its right.

take a dose of bloomberg tv, cnbc, and TheStreet hot girls analisys before the decitions.
it helps

wednesday is going to rock, dont remember any other day more packed than tomorrow.

i am going to be sincere, since sunday shorting gu and for some reason even when tp has not been reached, have taken around 150pips from this pair.

but tomorrow crazy bernanke makes me revaluate positions. and exiting right now the another short from 1.9890 area.
would not be nice to wipe out my account for taking 1 side and not looking at the situation overall.

if fed cut rates, we probably going straigth to over 2.0100 and am not kidding. and probably the next weeks to 2.0800???
eur/usd probably going to hit 1,50 and up.

the scary side is they seem dont care too much about the greenback anymore.
and uk had a reunion today with european ministers about a plan to boost growth.

so gbp bears, be careful

If it is 'fact' then all we do is short the pound and we all get rich ?

Not often we get a 'fact' like that

Scott emailed me the following great info based on this being true the trend will up for the GBPUSD IF THAT IS CORECT MONEY FLOW WILL BE OUT OF THE US
heres SCOTTS ANSWER

Oh I think we can count on a rate cut tomorrow. It will be at least 25 bases points, but, the market wants

50 bases points according to the fed futures numbers.

WHAT A GREAT BIT OF INFO FOR ME thank you Scott.

MY CALCULATION IF THAT NEWS IS CORRECT IS THE PRICE AT adelaide 4.0 pm could easily run up an extra fronm there another 215 pips by tommoro.

however its depended on the anouncement either way its a bet

IF bush cuts interest rates thats only going to make imports dearer, less jobs
but the share market rises , its a real CONUNDRUM
What do you think?

shorting now again, decided to play with the martingale method .
cant really trust much cable, i dont think they have found the holy grail to avoid a recession and their economical problems.

lets see how high can cable go.

rule of the game, start with 0.2 lots. and increase the amount every 200 pips up. (if we managed go up the retracement level.) (2.0040).
keeping maximum risk at 1000 pips less than 30% of account.

if it manages. put the big guns at 2.0600 targeting for at least 200 pips way down, recovering all the down trades and still in profit, let see how it goes.

i have done this, times times over again.

uj last week was the last victim. giving some nice gains!.

anyone else wanna join the risky game?

If you look on the Daily you'll see the AC has just turned red, and that the 5,3,3 Stochs are overbought and have just crossed back down.

Not too sure it will reach the 2.0000 mark today, maybe later this week, depending on what NFP spits out this time.

Is there any news comming out today that is good for USD? It seem to me it can only be bad for USD! Even a .25 cut is still a cut it will react maybe not 100 pips but it will be bad for USD, no?

.25 cut with a hawkish statement, could be bullish.........


market is pricing in 80% chance of a .5 cut, so, .25 could be bullish.......

I see a triangle in the daily cable chart, whose base is the daily 55ema. Waiting for it to break, or maybe i'll buy at the support line. Anyone doing the same?
