Key Quotes
"As we discussed in our market commentary this week, the potential Scottish independence vote will keep a bearish pressure on the GBP with the consequences of a 'yes' vote having a huge negative impact on the UK and GBP."
"Looking at the 1hr chart, we can see the massive drop to start the week with the cable actually gapping ~160 pips, then dropping another 70 pips throughout the day, offering a good with trend pin bar setup off the 20 EMA."
"For now, although we may see a bounce near term, the price action context should remain bearish all week, and I expect the pair to close lower than the current price."
"Look to sell on retraces back into key resistance levels, such as 1.6103 and 1.6159/69. Downside targets are 1.6000 and 1.5921."
