I agree with Salah K that GDP is a very important piece of economic news as it helps directly with the rate decision. Retail sales yesterday was also important because retail sales is a large part of GDP in most countries. Although UK retail sales yesterday was better than expected, today's GDP was gloomy. With oil and commodities down, it can very well prompt BOE to go ahead with their rate cut decision as they intimated in the last meeting. The big question is whether the rate cut has been priced in already in the last 2 weeks with the 1400-pip drop from 2.01+.

Take a look at the H4 chart. The more often a barrier is hit, the more likely it will be broken. H4 has hit the 1.8570 for the fourth time now. Its going to break once Bernanke starts talking....or maybe even before.

We ar in for a long bear trend with intermitent retracements. GBP has only one thing to do : cut rates, USD has only one thing to do : raise rates.

Theres's nothing else to do than short the pair. Of course very short term daytraders don't care about this, they are looking for a few pips only

I completely agree with ngforexman. This will be the fourth time the cable is going to test the 1.8536 support level since 15th august in my 1H chart. On 15th august, the daily low was 1.8511.

Today it has dropped from a high of 1.8796. There are support below 1.8540 region. If it penetrates the 1.8536 level (incidentally is the S2 pivot today) and the mental barrier-like 1.8500, then just hold on and let the fireworks begin.

At this moment, the UK GDP is 0.0%. Think and trade.

If that you said 200 pips is not false breakout, where the price didn't break the 4hr or daily support?

The news don't have enough power to break that support. Therefor we will go back up at where the price at before GBP news just now.

Your language, using terms like "therefore we will go back up", rather than "therefore, I believe it is probable for us to go back up", is dangerous when it comes to trading.

I hope no new traders are following from your posts, as there is nothing definite or inevitable about future spot moves.

US equity futures have spiked higher, crude oil lower, which has pulled the dollar higher in the past 30 minutes. I think these will be the main driver of cable today.

Good luck
