. GBP/USD - 1.6330 ... The British pound swung wildly y'day. Price briefly penetrated last Fri's low at 1.6284 to 1.6276 in European morning, price staged a failed rally after mildly hawkish comments fm BOE's Carney but quickly reteated to 1.6294 in choppy NY session n later ratcheted higher near NY close.
. Although cable's rebound after y'day's resumption of decline fm last Fri;s 1.6525 to 1.6276, as this move signals at least the 1st leg of correction fm Sep's 9-1/2 month trough at 1.6052, downside bias remains for weakness twd 1.6233, this is the 'dynamic' 61.8% r of aforesaid rise. Below 1.6233 wud yield subsequent weakness twd 1.6175 (equality proj. of 1.6525-1.6284 measured fm 1.6416) but a daily close of 1.6162 sup is needed to signal correction fm 1.6052 is over. On the upside, only a daily close abv 1.6416 wud risk stronger gain to 1.6433 (61.8% r of 1.6525-1.6284) but reckon 1.6481 (last Fri's European high) wud cap upside.
. Today, we're holding a short position in anticipation of further weakness after initial consolidation in Asia but profit shud be taken on subsequent decline. Abv 1.6373 may risk stronger gain to 1.6413/16 res area.
