Just read this:

[GBP/USD] Spooking the already fragile state of the Sterling is an article in the Sunday Daily Mail, revealing that Britain was just three hours away from going bust last year after a secret run on the banks. City Minister, Gordon Brown's Ministers disclosed to the paper that on Friday, October 10th, the country was "very close" to a complete banking collapse after "major depositors" attempted to withdraw their money en masse. Per the report, the Treasury was preparing for the banks to shut their doors to all customers, terminate electronic transfers and even block hole-in-the-wall cash withdrawals

USD GDP q/q:
forecast: -5.4%, prev: -0.5%http://www.forexfactory.com/images/m...us_revised.gif

Market should keep buying the Dollar until there's a more compelling reason to sell it.
Namely, it's totally screwed anyhow, but who's doing any better across the globe ?
Least of several evils or the dog with the fewest fleas, so to speak.

Where I come from, GDP stands for something very dirty
and I can't get enough of it during most quarters.

to wit: " I want some G-D-P, damnit !!! Gimme some G-D-P !"

See what I mean ? Makes you want to use a paper towel to touch the doorknob.

Shorts under some pressure against a FIB extension, which looks to have
reached a measured 1.618 objective on Friday at 13500 the figure.
Doesn't mean it finished dropping, just a place to pause and reflect.

Without or until a breach of 135, we'll have to dance to the other music for a little while.

Trend is still down, but nothing goes straight up or straight down.

Hence, we do the Forex boogie woogie. Shake yer butts people.

manize Your resistance lines up with mine (almost).
I see weak resistance at 1.3700-10 as said before (as we are in downtrend I look at it as significant).
Then strong is at 1.3740, so this looks like gd area to me. Anyone else see this area as resistance?

Yup ..... the one who impatients to make a short should put a tight SL and secure quickly in green pips when down !

As the night plays out, as well as the rest of the week, one thing is going to become more and more clear:

Either we break 135 and continue lower, else the pendulum swings and we test resistance.

If this pair goes positive for the day (sustained bids above 138, not just a spike)
market will be showing another card that could affect the rest of the week.

Not to be misunderstood, I don't believe in catching falling knives, but what doesn't drop, has to pop,
even if for just a short while, as the greatest number of market participants have their ass handed to them.

I agree, break 1.35 or 1.38 will suggest where we go.
I still favour 1.3350-80. Although this divergence is a little worrying.

phew.... I saw the m5 stalling completely as well as the m15 candles at the m15 50 ema.. so i took a calculated risk... s/l was at3682 just above the m5 upper channel t/l and the h1 21... was within a couple of gettting stopped out before it kicked down.... got a good close below the m15 ma's ... but killed it at +23... happy it came back down

m15 is still full short matching h1 till I see anything further.. I'm still searching for shorts.. however e/u is long atm.. so it's not helping.

Agreed... sooner or later one side gets "tired" and the others take over... however.. i'm happy to play whatever is given.. fortunately my setups work well in ranges too!
