A whole range of things including those.

Everyman and his dog knows my higher TF outlook by now.

Lower TF, we have had 2 bearish patterns and STILL we are making higher highs and higher lows and all this into the face of the monthly 200ema.

If that's not representative of higher TF power, I don't know what is.

Fundy wise, The EM's are copping a beating, crap US figures today, NFP will be interesting,

Yellen to the rescue...

Many very sane people will say the Fed wouldn't be so reckless, but what needs to be realised is that recklessness is their unofficial mandate.

We have long been at the point where leaving markets to their natural forces would be an absolute catastrophy, the Fed has long since shown its hand and I just don't think they will let things go from here.

6450 is real psychological tough level.Break this and doors open to 63
Markets need to make money and rarely does cable stay in tight range.Last 20days it has averaged 90pips.So logical deduction is 6450 will be broken because there is no incentive to go up on end of month last day of the week without news event.

I'm drinking a little bit and was just blowing smoke. I am heavily short as well , but a big part of me thinks we see 67 before the big down move. I don't deal much with the tech aspect but I look for critical inflection points or confluence with macro events to try and time moves. This week played out exactly how I forecasted, but with little reaction.

At the end of the day the huge run up on the pound was basically the idea of an interest rate move. That is not going to happen and it is just a matter of time before sentiment shifts. We are in a multi year consolidation at the top of the range and at some point in the next few months we will see 50 or lower. I think most folks that deal with cable on this board neglect the USD side of the pair.

In any event green pips to all.

Yes I agree sentiment shift is critical.We are looking 1.5-2yr to interest rate hike on UK so we are still in range.Although overall Pound is percieved as safe heaven hence I don't see 1.50 in 2 months but 1.60-158 possible for sure.

E/G is going to drop below 0.8160 eventually, then euro will drop faster then cable, or cable goes up faster than euro. Too late to get in euro shorts. Have to wait for a bounce in euro to get in shorts.

Hi Nav
I am in profit now and can exit and done with this but I sense this pair is due to major correction.At least I want to see 6380 and that would be great.
Otherwise I prefer crosses better.

The question of time only time. In short term as you see the primary target is 6275, then 6170 and long term target is 6000 near the blue EMA200 line. I think that would be the very minimum of the first quarter of 2014. Then it will go back to 6500 again.
Share your points of view.

more I use Bollinger Bands more I love them.
Notice how price came to dead center on daily and got stuck there.Ideal spot to go long is at lower BB bands at 63-6275 zone
