Great points Mont.

The joke regarding the Cable Cartel is that most of the gbp/usd advance is attributable to one idea, a 200 pip reduction in the eur/gbp pair, and not any "real" gbp buying. Outflows from euro, MA, and a BOE member saying the same thing every other CB member in other G7 members have also been saying regarding QE.

So where's the beef in cable?

The offer of eur/gbp started a week ago in Asian session, acted on well before any current "positive" news was released to the public.

@PippedOff: "Please raise your hand if you were duped by the Cable Cartel to buy cable at 1.6381 today."

- If you really believe that, you should be thanking them for yet another shorting opportunity.

- Analysts can call for what they like; the market decides.

- In what way is Gold getting spanked?

- What is the ultimate goal of the "Cable Cartel" (as well as World Domination of course...)?
Speculators can make money in both directions; why would they want to stop movement?

"The Cable Cartel's defense of 1.6300 for cable and subsequent 20 pip pimping of cable is clearly depicted in 5 min cable chart."
-Alternative explanation: "Support at 1.63 held today. It might not tomorrow, and then again, it might, and 1.64 might be achieved. Depends on the market."

OR "Cable continued its long uptrend which began in late December (or early January depending which way you look at it), after the relatively brief retracement on Friday...".

(I hope the latter isn't actually the case, but it's as plausible as a "Cable Cartel").

A complete rout of usd today, although it will hardly appear that way on USDX since euro is 58% of the index. usd/chf getting mauled.

After four dyas of selling against usd last week, Friday offered a brief respite and a glimmer of hope for those following the analysis provided here.
