The fix is in!

Cable has been beat down something serious today. The mass plummet with shallow if any retrace, crushing through support levels all the way down. When will this madness end?

Really, nobody can say for sure and as much as nobody wants to try and catch falling knives, the low price does seem somewhat appealing. So, what to look for and when?

Well, I watch for retraces and exits on every 24x200 moving average cross. So far the only one that has played through proper on buy back has been the 5m chart and that......

Hard to ignore the graphic display and power of a compression - release pattern.
This could retrace up to the green (~1.5285) and even on up to the aqua areas
(1.5306 144ema and 1.5325 dotted 200ema) and still maintain momentum south.

That does look soothing to look at, especially if you were short on this occasion! Markets are in turmoil! Reality of well established countries defaulting has finally hit home. If the Europeans really want to save the Euro they need to speak and act soon! At the moment it is a cat and mouse game between the IMF, Germany/France and Greece, although I feel they are just delaying the inevitable.I believe they know it too! Europe will be divided again, but maybe this time no wall is required!

The Asian markets were closed when this news hit, so I expect some fireworks from them too. I could be wrong though!
GBPJPY is almost 400 pips down... so the news is accounted for everywhere... retrace either today or tomorrow..

Just trying to fathom out whether I should be booking additional shorts down to 1.50 or whether to book a long on retrace to 1.53? What's your view?

just a thought

every body is shorting cable and it did go down sharply rating is bad for more than one country we are trading the news

to clean up all the shorts what the big boys will do buy the heck out cable and let the eur sink or buy both and clean the house

i did see that happen during the tears of trading


i might be wrong

THis is something I am questioning, Lost on my longs from yesterday fotunately triggering a short. Long position in gold working nicely.

Fibre Keeps printing new lows seems like any breakouts north on cable and fibre may just be crushed by shorts.

At this rate fibre will break into the .2000's!

Like Magix said there will be a retrace but when....

Any attempt in retracing this drop gets shot down almost at once on M5/M15, this will need a few hours to stabilise and a few good bull candles on H1 with my eye on a close on H4 above 5294 for any retrace to have any chance of success.

Goodnight boys and girls see you at Franky open.

True, I have started trading H1 primarily. Still use lower TFs but it's sometimes bothersome to block out the noise on M1 and m5.

When this move comes it will be likely be visible on H1 and H4 clearly seen

Even after retrace - I am not certain cable will not plunge a bit further.

I am watching swissy closely for a a break and potential short. If she doesn't take .0900 I will set sights on retest of .0700

Imho we havent completed down move yet we may see retrace into 1.53 area during asian session but ill be shorting the hell out of it during frankie (and perhaps begining of london session)

many % of times (not sure exactly but probably 80) if price retraces in asia after such fall as today you get an impulsive push in that direction during frankie and then usualy in london session you get weak holders shakeout and then the price goes to test the lows or lower.

I don wanna play nostradamus or anything but low volume is good for big boys to move price into more attractive area and then sell into it when volume comes in... the only problem with that at the moment is that distribution was done yesterday and no one knows how much more they have to sell

in fact we may see as low as 1.52 in early asian session but then should get a nice retracement during 2nd half. Sometimes those asians like to copy Americans at the start of their trading and then kind of make up their own mindS
