Cable to Rally Post-Brexit

I expect Cable to rally in the aftermath of the start of Brexit negotiations. First reason for this is the fact that the worst is now behind the UK. Markets have pummelled the Pound in the ground already discounted a lot of negative scenarios. Thus a positive surprise could led to large GBP rally.
The second reason is our first chart above. Notice the three bottoms pattern. Some may see an irregular Head and Shoulders formation. In any case it looks like the bears have checked out and the bulls…

Buying the Pullback?

With the Brexit panic subsiding , the GBP/USD could finally find a bottom. On the 4 Hour chart below we see an interesting formation. We were in an upward trend which then stalled on some post-Jackson Hole Dollar gains. But now we're moving back up again. This could be a classic buy the pullback opportunity.
Another reason why more gains may follow is the oversold situation in Cable. On the weekly chart below we can see how unrelenting and one-sided the selling has been since 2014. We're now dow…

EUR/GBP Range-Bound in June

THE EUR/GBP had a volatile few weeks. First we rallied to a high of 0.8116 then fell to a low of 0.7564. A lot of this movement is fundamental-based, linked with the coming UK referendum. But recent polls seem to indicate voters slowly congregating around the the ''Remain'' camp and this is bringing much needed stability back in GBP pairs.
My second point why I'm betting on a range in this pair is past history. After periods of high volatility, the EUR/GBP usually spends a long locked in a range…

EUR/GBP Hits Old Resistance Area

The EUR/GBP could be forming a top. After reaching a high of 0.7927 the pair was rejected down to 0.7652. Then we rallied again, hit a new high at 0.7946 only to get rejected a second time. Today we rallied to 0.7944 and predictably, we fell again. The chart below shows these unsuccessful pushes.
I don't think the pair will manage to break higher. Even if we look at the longer-term weekly chart, we can see that the 0.7800 - 0.8000 area was where prices spent the entire second half of 2014. Histo…

This pair is proving to be a lot more volatile then usual. In the early part of this month it overshoot my noted resistance to hit 0.8115. Then it crashed down to close at 0.7788 on Friday. I'm guessing a lot of this volatility is GBP related due to the coming EU-referendum.

Fundamentally my call still looks solid. Until yesterday's extreme sell-off the EUR/GBP was trading around 0.7860 to 0.7990 for several days. Hopefully now some mean reversion buyers kickin and bring the EUR/GBP closer to my target.

The unrelenting selling in this pair continues, now at 0.7750. The strong GBP has been the main driver here.

My forecast above correctly identified the overbought market but as noted in the previous comment, volatility is high. First we overshoot to the upside now to the downside. Maybe after all is said and done and things calm down we can see movement higher closer to my target.

Calmer Months for EUR/GBP

The EUR/GBP is generally not a fun pair to trade. During 2015, in 5 of the last 9 months, the pair closed within 100 pips of it's opening price. But this hasn't been the case in August and September. The high volatility across all markets led to a 292 pips gain for the Euro in August. This was followed by another large range in September of 240 pips. In addition to this, as can be seen on the chart below, volatility has been going up.
The 14-day Average True Range has greatly increased, from a l…

More Losses for Cable

Cable lost over 230 pips in September. We opened the month at 1.5362 and look set to close near 1.5130. The chart below shows this downtrend clearly.
But I don't think the losses are done for the Pound. Yesterday and today we've cleared several important support levels, at 1.5170, 1.5162 and finally 1.5134. It wasn't an easy task, each move lower was aggressively bought up. But eventually we kept coming back down. With these levels now cleared, the road is open to the 1.4600 swing low. Right abo…

EUR/GBP to Stabilize in June

The EUR/GBP had a wild ride in May. With a total monthly range of 428 pips, the pair experiences large volatility, mainly on the back of the UK election.
With that event now out of the way, I expect prices to stabilize going forward. The technical picture too points me in this direction. The 0.7190 level is a 61 percent Fibonacci retracement of the last EUR/GBP move higher (marked on the chart below). This is also not far from Friday's close at 0.7183. I expect this level to put pressure on any …

Range in EUR/GBP Goes On

The EUR/GBP had an unusual month, falling by 160 pips as the weakness in the Euro pushed the pair lower. Both the short-tern trend as well as the momentum are now pointing downward.
This doesn't happen often. The UK and European currencies usually trade in lockstep with each other. A weakness in the EU economy usually translates into lower profits for UK companies. This is turn depresses growth, wages and prices in Britain, lowering the odds for an early rate hike by the Bank of England. The 1.7…

Pound to Break 1.5590

The Pound has been howering above the 1.5600 figure for the past month. We got close to brekaing this important support on two separate occasions in November. The constant pushing on 1.5600 should lead to a break lower.
For targets, let's take a look at the longer-term charts. The GBP/USD has been held up by the 1.5250 mark during most of 2012. I think the losses will be limited by this level so I'm predicting a 1.5271 quote for January 2nd.

EUR/GBP Indecisiveness to Continue

The indecisiveness in the EUR/GBP will continue. For the past 6 months, prices trading barely changed. As can be seen on the chart below, we are currently qupted at the 0.7956 mark, the same level as in July of this year.
Looking at the lower timeframe 4 hour chart, we are now trading in the middle of the range between 0.7765 and 0.8050. I think the round 0.80 mark should surpess any buying pressure so I don't expect much change going forward. While both currencies continue to trade weak against…
