As expected CABLE held fairly soft ahead of the BOE minutes and the release proved the catalyst for tripping the initial downside pivot at 1.9450. Stops are next in place through 1.9400, although a Swiss bank and a Far East name are buyers ahead, while the next real bear target comes at 1.9334, the year's low so far. However, despite the Pound being a clear broad underperformer on the current decoupling broader market driver, it could be argued there is very little in the minutes to suggest a pick up in momentum in Gbp's downside is warranted. Only Blanchflower voted for a 50 basis points move and perhaps it would be a mistake to pay too much attention to a lone voice.

cable target 1.9334 this years low Jan 22
GBP/JPY target 207.80 (Feb 12 low)

Good call trading through the news...

The rule right now is -
bad US news - sell the GBP
good US news - sell the GBP

I will try a small long from about here as soon as it settles and then perks up

Gotcha... And these rules valid until further notice. Variations.

bad US news - buy the GBP
bad US news - sell the GBP
bad US news - huge spike (bear/bull trap) just to continue in the reverse.

Basically like my wife. You never know the reactio. My guess was today due to the negative mass psychology regarding the GU the whole day today and yesterday....

Are rou okay All. Hope you are well.

In a few hours we will have an FOMC meeting. Further surprises? GU tanks or lifts?

Yes cable is a woman

example: ME: 'Your hair looks nice today dear'

HER: 'Didn't it look nice yesterday ? you are so critical '

Having a great time - off to Atlanta to get my Green card from my pal's house this weekend then back to UK week after to pick up my house sale proceeds - then going to put it all on GBP and make a fortune and then spend it on a submarine (leer jets are so 90's)

Barak Hussein Obama will win and the capitalists will export their capital and China will go into a huff at isolationism and the dollar will collapse..

I will be riding my motorbike in Florida and barbecuing sea trout so stuff em all !

Come back 1.98 all is forgiven

Good data news for USD, so what the FOMC is thinking?
Well probbably there is no need to another rate cut. The Dow get mad and bann, then it goes down, down it goes. Then JPY push down the crosses, GU will see more sells as well EU and life goes on. IF the rate cut is real, then time to buy and enjoy life as well. No stress, Bacardi time to relax our life.

Wow, as a technical trader I can't belive I just said all this, oh well, everybody have something of crazyness time to time. Today is my time. LOL.

Take care, I'm glad u r doing ok.

yes you are right and it did

I suppose it will just hang around now until the minutes come out

and then we will see why bernancake panicked with the big cut

If it shows big trouble in the US then GBP goes down
If it shows that the expected stimulus will save the US then GBP goes down

I dont believe any of this news has any effect at all - when the big boys want to move a currency they just wait for any excuse - no matter how implausible - and then justify it with non-sensical statements about why

They would cut 100 pips on news that Hillary's stockings were the wrong colour
