Last week, Cable unfolded towards the upside confirming the alternate count and target was reached, soon after Cable continued moving towards the upside invalidating the alternate count.

This week Scottish people voted "No" for independence from UK, main stream media expects that result to boost the British pound and help recover UK`s economy. This week`s main count begs to differ as it expects an impulsive decline for Cable. The alternate count ,on the other hand expects Cable to continue its gains with further upwards movement.

As always we will wait for either count`s confirmation point to be reached to determine the highly probable count.

6-Hours Main Count

- Invalidation Point: 1.6526
- Confirmation Point: 1.6284
- Downwards Target: 1.6126 -- 1.5977
- Wave number: iii orange
- Wave structure: Motive
- Wave pattern: Impulse

6-Hours Alternate Count

- Invalidation Point: 1.7193 -- 1.6246
- Confirmation Point: 1.6326
- Upwards Target: 1.6564
- Wave number: (2) black
- Wave structure: Corrective
- Wave pattern: Zigzag

Main Wave Count

GBPUSD

This count expects that wave B maroon is complete as a zigzag labeled waves (A), (B) and (C) black and that wave C maroon is starting to unfold towards the downside.

Wave (C) black within wave B maroon unfolded as an impulse labeled waves 1 through 5 blue.

Within wave C maroon wave (1) black is expected to be underway with waves 1 and 2 blue complete and that wave 3 blue is underway.

Wave 1 blue unfolded as an impulse labeled waves i through v pink.

Wave ii pink unfolded as a double combination labeled waves (w), (x) and (y) green.

Wave iii pink unfolded as an impulse labeled waves (i) through (v) green.

Wave v pink unfolded as an impulse labeled waves (i) through (v) green.

Wave 2 blue unfolded as a zigzag labeled waves a, b and c pink with wave b pink unfolding as a triangle labeled waves (a) through (e) green.

Within wave 3 blue waves i and ii pink are expected complete and wave iii pink is expected to be unfolding towards the downside.

Wave i pink unfolded as an impulse labeled waves (i) through (v) green with wave (iii) green unfolding as an impulse labeled waves i through v orange.

Wave ii pink unfolded as a double zigzag labeled waves (w), (x) and (y) green.

Wave (w) green unfolded as a zigzag labeled waves a, b and c orange.

Wave (y) green unfolded as a zigzag labeled waves a, b and c orange.

Within wave iii pink waves i and ii orange are expected complete and wave iii orange is starting to unfold towards the downside.

This count would be confirmed by movement below 1.6284.

At 1.6126 wave iii orange will reach equality with wave i orange and at 1.5977 wave iii orange will reach 1.618 the length of wave i orange.

This count would be invalidated by movement above 1.6526 as wave ii orange may not retrace more than 100 % the length of wave i orange and it should be noted that the invalidation point will be moved to the end of wave ii orange once we have confirmation on the daily chart that wave iii orange is underway.

Alternate Wave Count

GBPUSD

This count expects that wave (1) black is complete and that wave (2) black is unfolding towards the upside.

Wave (1) black unfolded as an impulse labeled waves 1 through 5 blue.

Wave 1 blue unfolded as an impulse labeled waves i though v pink.

Wave 3 blue unfolded as an impulse labeled waves i through v pink with wave iii pink unfolding as an impulse labeled waves (i) through (v) green.

Wave 5 blue unfolded as an impulse labeled waves i through v pink.

Within wave (2) black waves A and B blue are expected complete and wave C blue is underway.

Within wave C blue waves i and ii pink are expected complete and wave iii pink is extending towards the upside.

This count would be confirmed by movement above 1.6526.

At 1.6564 wave iii pink will reach 1.618 the length of wave i pink.

This count would be invalidated by movement above 1.7193 as wave (2) black may not retrace more than 100 % the length of wave (1) black and as well this count would be invalidated by movement below 1.6246 as within wave iii pink no second wave may retrace more than 100 % the length of the first wave.
