Hi all - my first post on here although i have been reading and trading for a while.

I've been playing with cable for the past few days - i've had some ups and downs.........

Anyway the one thing that gives me some confidence in my current longs is the bounce off the 100 day EMA yesterday and today on my daily chart. Also when I look back to 13th October it did exactly the same and rallied on upwards 600 pips over the next 7 days. The 100 EMA seems to be pretty stong. Cable has also bounced from the 6180's several times over the past 2 months or so

Can anyone tell me if this is logical ???

Any comments appreciated

Thanks mate, much appreciated!

PA bounced off the 61700 level twice creating double bottom on the 4hr chart (infact thrice). This had me thinking banks/brokers are making dodgy moves to the downside.

You might be right. Not that I've any doubt on your trades (never).

I see no one wants to buy cable, no dollar shorting either which leaves selling. Unless we see some news of uk company M&A . I do not see this guy climbing the mountain on it's own without it's buddy EU. Both will be bought at the same time.

I am in a Christmasy mood since last week. Had to many parties and still on the roll!

Taking bit easy this time.

Cheers

Hi AMS,

It's just a matter of time before that support gives in to the pressure.

Nice job on your long trade, you got my "v" btw.

Enjoy

I placed a buy position @6237.

If this attempt breaking to downside fails, I don't have to worry.

if price open below 1.6225 we may see 1.6160 However is a safe for swing to sell below 1.635

Don't mention it, my friend.

those three rebounds off support have cost them a lot in a negative sentiment environment since at least yesterday so the break should be so much more abrupt unless of course all of a sudden surprisingly good news pops up from somewhere.
As for Euro, that pair is in big trouble if Greece is left to her own devices then we'll see Ireland, Spain, Portugal etc. next on the line, and you know what it means for that funny so-called currency "Orue" (Oopss...I'm sorry I meant Euro...)...

Merry Christmas To You & Have A Wonderful Holiday Season!

just watch do not trade till you figure out what happen, don't fall in to the trap of trying to get it back all in one day
Thanks for the advice Trabagwe. I was getting a little too cocky for my own good.

If we get back to 1.635, I would think that the last thing you would want to do is take on a bearish position. That would cross us into Bull Country. From there, the sky is the limit.

Of course...We gotta get there first.
