Cable unfolded as expected last week confirming the main count and targets are yet to be reached.

Last week, we anticipated that the result of Scottish independence referendum which was considered as good news will not save Cable. This week we are updating the main count which expects Cable to continue its decline and as well adding an alternate count which expects Cable to unfold towards the upside in an upwards corrective phase.

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: 1.6416
- Confirmation Point: 1.6215
- Downwards Target: 1.6202 -- 1.6176 -- 1.6117
- Wave number: 3 purple
- Wave structure: Motive
- Wave pattern: Impulse

6-Hours Alternate Count

- Invalidation Point: 1.7193 -- 1.6052
- Confirmation Point: 1.6526
- Upwards Targets: 1.6622 -- 1.6756
- 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 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 underway with waves 1 and 2 purple complete and wave 3 purple is unfolding towards the downside.

This count would be confirmed by movement below 1.6215.

At 1.6202 wave 3 purple will reach equality with wave 1 purple, at 1.6176 wave iii orange will reach equality with wave i orange and the final target is at 1.6117 as at that level wave 3 purple will reach 1.618 the length of wave 1 purple.

This count would be invalidated by movement above 1.6416 as wave 2 purple may not retrace more than 100 % the length of wave 1 purple.

Alternate Wave Count

GBPUSD

This count expects that wave (1) black within wave C maroon is complete and that wave (2) black is unfolding towards the upside and wave A blue is underway within wave (2) black.

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

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

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

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

Within wave (2) black wave A blue is underway likely as a leading diagonal labeled waves i through v pink with wave i pink complete and wave ii pink is at its late stages.

Wave ii pink is unfolding as a zigzag labeled waves (a), (b) and (c) green with waves (a) and (b) green complete and wave (iii) green is underway.

This count would be confirmed by movement above 1.6526.

At 1.6622 wave (2) black will reach 50 % the length of wave (1) black and at 1.6756 wave (2) black will reach 0.618 the length of wave (1) black.

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 1.6052 as wave ii pink may not retrace more than 100 % the length of wave i pink within wave A blue and it should be noted that the invalidation point will be moved to the end of wave ii pink once we have confirmation on the 6-hourly chart that wave iii pink is underway.
