For those that monitor the charts, there were some exceptional pattern developments this past week including a strong GBPUSD rally. With a fundamental rundown of the Cable, the swell has its merits. However, the 7-day rally through Wednesday looked exceptional risky when we evaluated it for 'market conditions'.
