1.9460 and then down again

MAN....I missed 1.9400 by what ? Less than 20 pips ?

Now I like it better. Bit of consolidation for the next 12hrs or so and then we can move up.

for those who wonder why somtimes the euro goes up further than the gbp, watch the eur/gbp... when this pair rises cable falls, and euro rises.

Cable just does not have any strength. Even when euro was running up, it just doesn't follow the parade. I closed my long for a small profit. Thought it was best not to incur any loss.

What I really would like to know is why, after all the UK green news, why cable still has no strength to go higher.

I'm shorting after confirmation of the retracement completion at about 1.9525. SL: 1.9558 My first target is 1.9337. If it doesn't get to my levels, I'll sleep like a baby. Even if it does, the SL is tight enough for cofort.

RICS House prices from last night has been pushing it down. Also oil supply was cut in IRAQ driving euro & eur/gbp up

I estimate that it will reach 1.9600 by tomorrow though

That's the only conclusion I can draw - big boys playing with money, taking us little guys to the cleaner's. It's hard to make sense of the price action when technical AND fundamentals are pointing to one direction but the actual price goes the other.

i would agree with u but retracement with this pair went out with my shorts ...i starting to think its capable of anything at any time

Nav, I have yet to lose any serious money using fibs on Cable. I play for tight stops, and wait for a confirmation, on my 1 hour chart, of a turn around before placng the order. I like pinbars/shooting stars best, but will step out with a Hanging Man as long as i get a close below the body... If the price action moves too far from my stop loss before the confirmation, I take my ball and go home.

You are right. It is capable of anytyhing at any time. The nice thing about being with the trend is that even if I am stopped out, I get all of that money back when I re-enter at the correct price. When I used to enter counter-trend trades, like that dog I got into this morning, I'd get stuck and be frustrated... i lost a lot of money, and a lot of sleep. LOL

Slow_k indicator shows oversold condition on 2-hour signaling a correction higher is in the near future. Plus, the pair bounced off the lower edge of the downtrend channel on the daily.
I expect retracement to be limited to the weekly central (1.9524) and in the worst case to the weekly pivot (1.9591) which coincides with the middle of that downtrend channel.

hello traders

i must point out that dollar strength shuold be taken into consideration and up till now we are seeing no signs of dollar backing down not even when benny talked

so if dollar happens to be truly on its way back up (due to inflation fears and the fact that US rate hikes are actually on the discussion table) might kill all currencies including cable

because i must admit they look like a great sell especially for the big boys

and we wouldnt want to be on the wrong side.

just a fundamental analysis on a LARGER time frame.
