could it be olympics effect?.. attempt "pole vault" over 7000 and then come down to earth after everyone leaves the stadium in disappointment again:-)..

Its pretty weird we all talking bullish cable when the entire week has been fraught with politician's gaffs and double dipping. Much will depend on usd methinks.

"..right on DaveJ..." :-)
resilient indeed.. but 6040-60 area did not get tested sufficiently in my view..
so maybe just above 6300-20 for now before that test.. after that maybe 6500-50 or even 7000 possible..

fyi

Friday's CFTC data shows that as per April 24, speculative
accounts had a net cable long of +7,536 contracts, versus a net short of
-13,051 contracts last week. Mary Nicola, strategist at BNP Paribas
notes that this is the first net speculative long since August 2011.
"We continue to favor euro-sterling downside," she says.

I have targets for furher upside at 1.6360, 6420 and 6565. Potential reaction levels. 1.6420 area is well clustered.

...impressive run by cable this week...shorter term charts looking ripe for a good 50+ pip pullback, bullish pa slowing up... longer term tho' can see this pair stretching to 6320 and on even further to 6550...

fundamental side, a mixed bag...Martin beakin' on QE (final month for their bond buying program) due to the UK going into its first dble dip recession since that 70's show...but a dovish fed/usd weakness not helping the bear case for cable..

next monday last trading day of the month and would provide a reasonable terminus for the run (ie profit taking)...."sell in may and go away"?

GBPUSD pullback may come, more likely powered by short covering in EURGBP. For longest time most analysts have been picking 0.8050 as target in EURGBP (likely why sterling has been on a tear), and I wouldnt be surprised to see the opposite happen now and EURGBP to get back above 0.82's before any resumption of downtrend?!!
