Same here I think it will be an interesting number and it has nothing to do with 1.60 being one of those nice round numbers.

On the daily chart I have a trend line that will come into contact if it gets there.

My Weekly Support 1 is 1.6017.
Yeah, will have to see if she holds.

What's your take on things?

Based on charting - and the fact that the British Pound is weighted 12% against the USDX - the dollar index. I keep watching the dollar index rise....and rise and rise.......and we all have watched Cable rise as well.

So there is something going on here -

How can two things that are weighted against each move in the same direction?

This does not seem possible - is this where the manipulation comes into play that people were talking about a few weeks ago? I don't know.....but I do know that two items that are weighted against each other must move in opposite directions at some point.

I feel an elastic band here - and sooner then later is will snap and something will give.....

It's yours to discover....

Yeah it is strange, I don't have a USD index chart but pulled one up from FX pros but only seem to go as high as daily. Do you know where I can view a weekly and monthly one on the web? I did a search but
nothing came up.

Because one is weighted at only 12% of the other.

What are the 88% doing?

Maybe it will be at my own peril I ignore the USDX. Just watch the EUR instead? But if I am just going to watch that should I instead just watch the S&P instead?

Or maybe just good old fashion S/R is best?

By the time I figure it out the whole paradigm will have changed by then.

What's your take on things?

My take on things also started back on May 10th....if you go back through my posts you will see what I was hinting at and telling people.....that was last Thursday.....and since then we have slow dropped 100 pips......nice gradual drop.........

Not sure what it means....but that is what I saw.....

some nice candle patterns indicating north direction including fib line. i'm still short as it seems obvious that the long is the play. with that said i'm 98% wrong on sundays.

Stupid cable. About to cost me 10 pip again. Why is it so soft nowadays? It's softer than the euro.

sorry, I have to laugh at this irony. Cable takes 10 pips from you and you say IT is stupid. No disrespect intended, I just thought that was funny.
