(Like Rob, my vote on Twitter was also with a different nickname to the one used here (this one is common enough to have been taken already in what is presumably a huge user population, though I didn't check) in case you thought I didn't vote - I definitely did :-) )
Ashraf: Your twitters and much other work really appreciated - thank you.
Looking at the daily chart for cable, do you think that it will have to get down to the lows of Friday (1.6210 or so) today to confirm its downward turn? (or if not today, then soon)?
On my chart I have converged EMAs 200 & 150 acting as resistance-turned-to-support, which today would be around 1.6220, which it would have to break.
There would seem to be plenty of downside potential below there.
USDX: On 1H at the moment and Daily chart, this is looking somewhat bearish to me, price-action-wise. May just be indicating a pullback though, rather than a reversal.
@PippedOff: "The analyst wrote "Gbp to move higher because it is the only pair not trading in a range".
Hm....on a weekly chart, that's exactly what it IS trading in. Mind you, on that basis, it could go to about 1.69, so this still wouldn't be good news for dollar bulls.
@Jamshed: Interesting analysis, thanks. The old problem of technicals versus fundamentals. Which does one give more credence to?
Well today's dollar rally seems to be faltering, and cable's plummet has been arrested for the moment. Whether it will regain the dizzy heights of ɭ.64 in the near future remains to be seen.
