Daily Forecast - 20 September 2017

Bitcoin

Bitcoin will hopefully target the best selling opportunity of the week at 4200/4300. Try shorts with stops above 4500. Bulls will need to see a sustained break above 4400 if they are to have any hope of regaining control of this market. Unlikely, but a break higher targets 4650/4700 before a retest of the all time high at 4900/4979.

Failure to beat our selling opportunity at 4200/4300 as we expect, targets 3980/60 & minor support at 3850/3800 which is holding. On further losses today look for better support at 3760/30. A good area if you are scalping & want to take profit on shorts but longs are far too risky. A break below 3680 keeps the pressure on for 3450/40 & good support at 3450/00. Watch for a short term bounce from here.

Mixed UK inflation data no gamechanger for the Bank of England

Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.
