At the same time, AUD is trying to break 0.9070 again, and see NZD/USD testing 0.81 again. Show me the money!!

Looks like the buyer begin to come in in last 3 mins. If 1242 holds in the Asia session, think 1255 will not be a problem.
my 30 min chart shows otherwise. may be sooner than what i anticipate.

My today's target is 1223 (R/R=2.45) {image}

hi gilfx,

Wow, this looks interesting. Please explain the EW data down the bottom of the chart. Is that your own note-taking or an app doing that analysis? And the orange and red "winds of trend" on the chart? Amazing!

Keep in mind cable just broke a major resistance, so a 100+ pip move IMO breakout was warranted.

Dont think this breakout is firm. However, wait to see how UK traders react to this price.

It's been so damn strong lately that i'm scared to short it, but as far as a scalp goes I think it's an awesome level to short. Could even be a high for the coming weeks. Wish you luck with it. Got my ass burned on EU and GU past few weeks when I should have been sticking to shorting Aussie pairs, Gold, Oil, etc.

Shorting gold here. Momentum doesn't look good. Trend is down. Seems like a high % play.

I wouldn't be surprised to see it to go back down to the resistance in a few sessions, yet, I have to put in the level as I haven't traded the pair in a few days - I think it was something like 6250 that it tried breaking for months.

This is true GBP strength though not just cable.

New 1 Year HIGHS on
GBP/NZD
GBP/CAD
GBP/USD = Cable
GBP/JPY
GBP/AUD i believe was yesterday - but not certain.

My charts are closed at the moment.

A new fresh low is printed (seems like a guy is shorting with two large orders)! Will cover some of my long @ break-even if buying is not strong to bring it back. If 1245 can not reach in Asian session, will close my rest when session ended...

Dont know how far it will go but wish you good luck!

Do be careful if the former resistance turn support. Stronger the resistance, the stronger will be the support if it converts.
I too got my ass burnt last few weeks back trying to short cable at resistance.
No potential trade now, but monitoring Gold to see if SR line at 1252 is a resistance.
The true fact is market doesn't care, risk mgt is important.

morning all,

the Yen pairs and GU are really defying indicators to the upside, but i'm cautious to join the trend at this stage or to even step in front of it with a short position - with the Yen it's unprecedented printing and Nikkei stock mania. With GU i get the feeling the market is compensating for the BoE's failure to raise rates (in the face of improving data) by pricing confidence into the Pound.

FF member PipTrapper posted the following doc from HSBC a few months ago. He made the comment that it's not because HSBC are the trader's friend but because their analysists' market insight has some merit. What the paper discusses is the notion that models such as "safe haven" and "Risk on Risk off" are no longer acting on the markets as they did when first identified. Times have changed and the pushes and pulls on currency have shifted. Here's a link to the paper. It does not specifically mention Gold (or commodities) but the framework for understanding money flows and FX fluctuation is valuable:

Just close my shorts of cable with several pips profits... dont want too many risk tonight (if gold turn into a strong down trend), which may give me a negative emotion when make further decisions. Go to bed now, have a good night!

apologies, off-topic, but just to make a logical conclusion to my previous post, I'm using the GU example discussed in the paper I posted previously:

BoE is failing to tighten monetary policy by raising rates, so the market is doing the tightening for them. Taking this analysis to it's logical conclusion implies that GU will keep rising until BoE raise rates. Bad UK data releases will cause some dips but won't reverse the uptrend. The moment BoE raise rates, the market will compensate for the rate increase by taking GU back to levels where it "should" be - and that's the time to short it. Right now, shorting GU will only see the trader catching minor trend corrections for small profits at high risk. As counter intuitive as it may seem (looking at the chart) it is safer to go long the Pound - not that I'm willing to do that!

Learnt something new today. Thanks.

Always have the impression that an increase in interest rate will make the currency stronger. In this case, its all about market correcting itself to the most efficient value.
