Cable traders happy to be short as UK keeps circling the drain
Don't fight the trend. That simple. You could try to fade a bounce as profit taking is clearly taking place 1.48 - 1.49, but the trend in sterling is clearly down... across the board. The pair just broke to the downside (well, a few weeks back) out of a multi-year triangle. Now triangles, especially to the downside aren't the most reliable of patterns, imho, but lets assume that it performs at just 30% of it's usual measured move and we could get a target (from breakout price of 1.5735) of 1.4635. At 50% the target is 1.3869 and a full 100% move would target 1.2002. I think the 100% target would be pushing it, but 1.3869 (or even nearby 1.4635) seem fairly plausible. Look to fade any rallies would be my best guess here. Obviously, 1.5220/60 would be ideal, but barring that 1.5100/30 looks decent at the moment. The numbers might not jive exactly with the chart above as I was using my Reuters platform for the numbers, which are a bit different from these rates.
