It's been a wonderful trading session this morning with cable falling strongly since the start of the London open, following an extended period of congestion with the volume point of control strongly in evidence.

A re-entry signal then gives those traders who missed the initial signal a perfect opportunity. And just to confirm the pair are now trading at 1.2260.

The key now is to wait for the breakaway from this region which will come - it's a question of being patient and waiting. And on the move away we then move to consider the volume...
