On the 1H chart of cable, the 365 EMA could act as a resistance which would be about 1.5808.

I'm not that big a believer in the concept of resistance to be honest, but the 365 EMA does often _appear_ to act that way (and as support as well of course in other circumstances).

I sometimes use that and other EMAs to give a bit of structure to my charts, but I also take them with a pinch of salt.

I am nibbling on a short gold here.

You can take a look at the 1 min charts on the euro and gbp trash, and aussie, and see all that is occurring is a counter-trend consolidation of running stops.

Who in their right mind would buy euro and gbp?

Gold is only breathing because euro has rallied on back of receiving a eur/gbp bid.

usd/cad is actually carving out a bottom. This could signal the near-end of this counter-trend rally simply orchestrated to take out soft shorts.

With ashraf's comments about a possible boost on the USD dollar from the feds tomorrow, this might bring the gold down. Is my thinking correct here guys

Hi Pipped,

Are you short on gold. With USDX falling wouldn't this push gold higher - your thoughts are most helpful

stopped out on gold short at 1111. Back in at 1119.7. Continuing to nibble usd/cad long here.

This sudden sea-change seems rather dubious. Like I said, ANYTHING to defend Dow 10K.

@speculator

You've been very quiet lately. I am interested in your down-side targets on USDX.

@chloe-most of the eur/usd move has been the result of the usual-a strong bid on eur/gbp. Cable has gone nowherein the last 70 pip move on euro. Euro's short-term countertrend consolidation has given risk appetite a "reason" to bid commodoties.
