Inverted or Mirror Fractal Update: GBP/USD Weekly Technical Analysis Charts

As long as 1.70 isn't negated, this fractal is in play.

Like all organisms (including fractals), they eventually reach maturity, where the rate of growth eventually reaches zero. 
This fractal has been one of enormous favor in guiding us through a strategic risk/management trade on a multi-year time-frame, but for how long will this map help guide us through the twists & turns of the Cable trade, is yet to be seen.
So, as I mentioned in the caption under the chart, any move above 1.70 (and a multi-week close above) should be satisfactory for me to discard this fractal as no longer applicable. 
For the time being, it still is a worthy map guide.
Good luck, and I hope this was profitable and educational for all.

EdMatts: GBP/USD is Going to Get really Nasty!

*  
* Cable remains within a downtrend from the 1.6380 high 
* Although it is clearly losing momentum it is still matching the first leg down in time and we should still look to scale out of shorts from 1.6160 and 1.5835 in the next 24 hours. 
*The reason is that a declining wedge should remain 'nasty' but allow a final spike lower to 1.5485 before an even nastier correction. 

Since wedge should comprise 5 overlapping legs each containing three legs themselves this suggests Cable remains within the C leg. Since this also projects an ideal 5=1 target now of 1.5485, the pullback to 1.5690 should prove corrective allowing at least a c=61.85 of A to 1.5520 today to end the C leg. Now this again could prompt a nasty correction the D leg to as high to 1.5735 the 61.8% but also matching the size of the previous correction and the level needed to provide an eventual E=A equality target matching 1.5485.

As such we will look to cut our shorts by 2/3 today at 1.5520 looking probably to resell 1/3 ony at 1.5735 but certainly looking to cover below 1.55 for the eventual correction back to the start of the wedge at 1.5875. A loss of 1.54 would risk opening up the 1.5230 medium-term low.

Stage 1: Identifying the Fractal Pattern.

Note: Upper & lower charts are fractals within different timezones. Lower Daily chart is the PAST historical (Price+Pattern+Time) Fractal we'll study to guide us to the most likely probable outcome, as it has already occurred.Now we 'invert' the lower daily chart, meaning turning it upside down so it 'mirrors' itself like looking into your reflection in water.

Stage 2: Identified previous historical Fractal pattern suggests price will move upwards before a sharp decline, so we identify risk/reward entry levels to take a minimum risk/return trade.

Noam Chomsky: Emerging World Order and the Arab Spring

British Ministry Of Defense: Strategic Trends Programme Regional Survey - South Asia out to 2040

Britain could see riots in the coming decades sparked by the growing prosperity of south Asia, say experts.
A report published by the Ministry of Defence (mod) said many western economies could stall and decline in the face of the growing economic strength of countries like China and India.
Such a situation may spark long periods of recession and growing disaffection within the UK.
It added: “This could subsequently lead to increased incidents of internal unrest, a rise of nationalistic groups and a demand for protectionist economic and defence policies. 
“The western way of life with cheap access to a wide variety of consumer choice and cheap energy will be increasingly challenged as lifestyles follow GDP levels and balance across the globe.”
It also suggests that the UK and Europe could face a struggle in terms of importance on the international stage.
The US is likely to remain the world’s only superpower, but China and India are likely to become great powers with strong military forces.
The research said these three nations could form a powerful grouping, with the US turning its interest to the Pacific rather than Atlantic.
Europe would still be the fourth biggest economy, but the report said it could less able to project power globally because of the lack of a credible military force.
The report said Britain was likely to be able to adapt to the changes.
It has historic, cultural and community links to south Asia, English as the preferred language for business, its geography and connections to the US and Europe. But the research noted it was unclear how beneficial these things could be.
It also warned of other potential problems, such as the possibility of military tensions in the South China Sea and Indian Ocean between China, the US and India.
Chinese and Indian authorities would also have to address demands for welfare support, action to tackle corruption and political change in order to maintain stability and continue their economic development.
An economic collapse of China for example could badly disrupt the global economy, said the report which set out potential trends rather than reflect official UK government or MoD policy.

The Development, Concepts and Doctrine Centre (DCDC)’s ‘South Asia out to 2040’ regional survey identifies key strategic trends for South Asia over the next 30 years and explores the challenges and opportunities that surround an Eastern shift in global power.
In 2010, DCDC published ‘Global Strategic Trends out to 2040’. This document highlighted how, over the next 30 years, the distribution of global economic and military power is likely to shift east.
The ‘South Asia out to 2040’ regional survey develops this analysis and considers what the future international context could look like. It considers how future global military and economic developments are likely to be steered by the continued rise of China, but also, as we move closer to 2040, increasingly by India.
However, in order to make such a shift in power a reality there are numerous internal challenges that will need to be addressed across the region. Issues such as governance, corruption, climate change and inequality will require processes of transformation that are likely to be both uncertain and uneven.
Having established where South Asia is going and how it might get there, the study then considers defence and security implications both globally and for the UK.

Larry Edelson: What I Expect for the Markets in 2013 - Video

2013 promises to be probably the most-exciting year at least since the financial crisis started out in 2007. In fact, it looks to be the most-significant year in the markets in our LIFETIME: http://www.uncommonwisdomdaily.com/what-i-expect-for-the-markets-in-2013-15536

Larry Edelson: The Mayans Were Right … So fasten your seatbelts for 2013

The Mayans were right. They never predicted the end of the world on 12/21/12. Those predictions were the antics of doomsayers and others hell bent on frightening you. The Mayans predicted a turn in the major cycles impacting the world, and the beginning of a new era. And to that degree, I think they were spot on.
I say this because my work on economic cycles tells me the same thing; namely that we are now about to pass through the eye of the hurricane of what will be the biggest and nastiest financial storm of all time … and the back wall of that hurricane is about to hit in 2013.
I’ve studied the K-wave in detail … the Juglar economic cycle … the Kitchen cycle … the Kuznets cycle … and even the War cycles …
And all of them start ramping up in 2013, and will exert their influence for years to come, converging upon the economy in a way that hasn’t been seen since the period from 1841 to 1896, a period in U.S. history …
— That was characterized by 14 distinct recessions and SEVEN major financial panics.
— Included the longest and steepest depression in U.S. history, from 1873 to 1896. And …
— Where three of the ten deadliest wars in U.S. history occurred: The Civil War, the Spanish-American Wars, and U.S. Indian wars.
So fasten your seatbelts. The relative calm you’ve seen in the markets over the last 12 to 18 months is nearly over and the next phase of the financial crisis is just about here.
