heh btw why TP@6075?

edit: Im thinking not to get overly greedy and TP around daily pivot r2
I am looking to take profit @ 1.6075 because that is where there is a level of resistance inside the last downswing fib. look at my chart @ the highlighted area, you'll see what i'm talking about. I will be moving my SL up some more to lock in more profit once this 4h candle closes... Will post an update once candle closes.

CABLE: Traders report that decent macro buying seen in recent trade but
rate seen taking a slight knock from rumours that Gatwick airport has
been evacuated (South terminal mentioned) but no confirmation for this
found so far. Rate trades around $1.6033, off recent rally extension
highs of $1.6059.

Still currently Long on the Cable from 1.5945. Price has pushed up higher with the open of Frankfurt. I have now once again moved my Stop Loss up to lock in more profit, currently @ +39 pips. Still looking for price to impact 1.6075 to close out my Long. Once this level is impacted I will look for price action to show me that sellers are coming into the market to continue the down trend. If this happens at that level of resistance, I will be looking for a possible short entry into the market.

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The Pound is slowly regaining the upside after last Friday's sell-off and recovery from 1.5850 low on Monday has extended during Asian session with the Sterling breaking above 1.6000 to reach intra-week high at 1.6035 so far.

On the upside, the Pound might find resistance at 1.6075 (Jan 22 low), and above here, 1.6110/15 (Jan 27/28 low) and 1.6180 (Jan 29 high). On the downside, below 1.6000, next support levels could be at 1.5965/75 area (session low/Feb 1 high) and 1.5905 (Feb 2 low).

Well, the trend is down and we hope the price to go down. What I will like to ask now is that, Will the UK PMI coming impact the market? I am looking for possible shorts at 1.6075 and I am targeting 1.6000. What is your opinion about this?

UK Services PMI BUY 58.6 SELL 54.6 GBP/USD
We will be focusing on the Services PMI figure today and our minimum
deviation is 2.0 from the forecast release figure. If we get at
least 58.6 or better, we could see some demand in the GBP and we
will consider BUYING GBP/USD or GBP/JPY pairs. If we get a 54.7 or
worse release, GBP could weaken and we should look to SELL GBP/USD
or GBP/JPY pairs.
Because PMI's are leading indicators and are likely to set the tone
for January 2010 for GBP, especially the Services PMI's as from UK
since UK's economy is 72% services based; therefore traders look at
this release for early direction in UK's economy. However, keep in
mind that the GBP is under pressure from a stronger USD and general
risk aversion sentiment, therefore my bias is towards selling GBP.

Trend is up on 1hr and on 4hr-from 5849 bottom we have a LL,LH, HL and now a H above last LH of it's downtrend, thus putting that downtrend in some doubt. On Daily from that 6458 recent swing Hi, we have a H,HL,LH and a L @ 5849 so not the most convincing downtrend yet (ie only one x LH and no x LL yet,) and now 2 x bullish pinbar closes Tues/Weds ??

The United Kingdom's service industry, which accounts for a major share of its economy, continues to suffer from the worst recession since WWII, according to the purchasing managers index for the service sector which, although staying in positive territory, slid downwards to its lowest mark in six months to 54.5 in January, down from 56.8 in December 2009.
