Yes, altho USDJPY is at a high not seen since Nov 2008 making a foecast tough.

I have also been watching the GBPJPY and YES, it has been messing up the GBP. Also, the sell off of the EURGBP has also been pushing the GBPUSD higher.

With the GBPJPY at 1.3828, there might be a SELL off there soon as it is at a 2wk High or there abouts, then allowing the GBPUSD to drop again.
Ride the Bulls bearback!

There has been a large selloff of the "safe haven" Yen this week and the price is forecast to move even further North over the coming days. I am finding that the GBYJPY is respecting the fibs very well but it is totally messing cable around as the USDJPY is gaining on the Yen simultaneously. Is anyone else watching this effect? I am finding cable very difficult to predict with this Yen fall going on.
Selloff of yen doesn't surprise me, many people were expecting it for a while. What makes me curious is where are people putting all that selloff money with recent banking speculations in US? Major indexes are going down.
Into commodities? Probably to some extent. we saw gold going over 1k and getting back.
Anyway my point is that people are having cash on hands and current economic situation isn't showing any good signs. So, as soon as the nationalization news calm down or at least market fully adapts them into the price of USD we will see some new huge injections into USD... and nice pips for us.

We will reached 1.4600/40 then drop since we have news on CBI Realized sales for GBP. Perhaps it goes back up (or continues to go down) for another news for US on CB Consumer Confidence.

Good morning everyone. Nice move during the Asia closes. I've been looking at Abu's analysis and levels for today. Can someone confirm they are not mis-typed. There is a target number of pips of 557 on Buy 3 and 572 on sell 3?!?!?!

I see it al. Been trading dragon for the past week & I must say it's a lot easier to trade the dragon compared to cable this past week. Dragon correlates strongly with usd/yen atm. What I see is if usd/yen moves south together with dragon it pulls cable down with it. At this point however usd/yen is at a very strong resistance level @95.5 which was the resistance on 1 dec 2008 and the support before that. Dragon's movement seems stalled below the 139 level. Should the usd/yen beat the resistance & dragon breaks the 139, my bias will change as I believe 4600 level on the cable will be breached.
But of course at the moment, I am not budging from being bearish. 4600 isn't yet broken, plus that shooting star on the daily does not look good for bull positioning.
Just a thought. Cheers.
Thank You

Hi,

never posted on this forum before but have been reading it for a while, especially the cable thread. I just thought it was about time to say hi to all and also contribute.
As for todays session, it sure seems a dangerous one. Altough on the higher timeframes i am compelled to be bearish biased, on 15m/5m there seems to be no selling pressure to break 1,4500 just yet.
I'm currently long 1,4503 with tight SL (1,4485). I'm not decided on a TP just yet. Will see how it behaves.

UPDATE: closed at 1,4525 for small profit on what seemed too much volume for a steady climb. I probably should have said that I also tend to have positions only for a few minutes.

GOOD possition but I think there are some scalpers having some fun at the moment, Selling at around 1.4520 and closing their possitions at 1.4500. Something I should have been doing today when you look back. I am still in my Sell possition that I took at 1.4560 this morning.

Hi Tiagor, welcome! interesting you mention volume. Not much talk on this forum on this subject. I use it alot to help with triggers (VSA). I would be interested to hear how much you use it and if you have dedicated software to apply it.

Hello Barny. You're right. I use tick volume along with price action much in the way VSA works. Zero indicators, that is
What I'm looking at is signs of accumulation/distribution and try to get along with where the money is going.
