@INGbalek - indeed, looks that way. A USDJPY 94 and above should easily take it up there. I am looking at 142.20 (daily EMA.100) as potential barrier, and subsequently around 143.60 (61.8% fib) ...

How much of the UK/GBP bearishness will factor in these upsides?? In my naive view, I would have thought cable's bearishness should drag this pair down, but, seems that the JPY weakness is overshadowing GBP weakness.

In the meantime, wondering what comes out of Japan/China talks this weekend....

@callum..
in my opinion gbpJPY is still intact to continue in the upside move..as JPY appears to be, after 1day break, the weakest cuurency overall, usdJPY breaking 93level, eurJPY>>that inverse H&S (maybe) under construction..JPY is not in favor right now, we have to admit that,,..
142,70-143 are levels im would be thinking about to sell it..MAYBE...

Redstone,

Hi Guys,

I've been away (from the country and trading) for about 3 weeks (from 7/8 March). Regrettably I had to leave some positions on although I would have preferred not to. I'm pleased to see most of my short gold and EUR/USD positions came good.

Was a little surprised to be stopped out of GBP/USD on 17th March around 1.53-somthing, which looks like it was near the high of that period.

Can anyone quickly sum up what was going on then and why the pound strengthened?

Overall, I am just about "up" on the trades I left although I will try never to leave trades open unwatched for such a length of time again.

I wasn't watching while I was away, but without trying too hard I could see gold was going in "my" direction, and naively hoped that GBP/USD was more or less doing the same. Just goes to show that assumptions are fatal in this business as in others.


Thoughts about gold from here on in?
