N = 1.305 = Neutral price. It is stabilising around this mark for now.
Added Neutral rate of $1.305 that if broken would fall to $1.1822.

Past Show Notes
S = 20 Sept show 1.3039
6 October fell to 1.1820 at 11.05pm Sydney time, but falls so rapid, revised numbers got to $1.145 on the chart above.
Hit target of 1.1822 = 9.3% lower target projected on 6th July show hit.
Low was $1.145 = 12.2% fall.
Now $1.2273 = 7.2% recovery from low or 3.8% from my target.
200 day MA = $1.3787 = 12.3% higher.
Last time it was 7.4% higher so that has extended.
Needs to bounce up – really holding onto 1.2128 level.
Should test $1.2597 = 2.6% higher in short term.
In 19 months since 15 July 2014, market already factored in a potential “Brexit” result, falling 19.5%. This was more of a “hedge” as those with significant interests de-risk out of the UK early just in case.
Stimulus by BOE 5 Aug 2016 – Marked BOE – Pound 170B Stimulus
N = 1.305 = Neutral price. It is stabilising around this mark for now.
In the medium term, the chart still has those lower levels in view: largely unchanged from last show.
Levels: I have two others in between these but for simplicity of the display on the show:
1.2597 = -3.4% lower (-19.2% from peak)
1.2128 = -6.9% lower (-23.8% from peak)
1.1822 = -9.3% lower (-27.0% from peak)
In Lead up to the Vote
In the last three months, March to June, the Pound stabilised, tested and went over 200 day moving average of $1.467 on 23 June with 10 hours to the vote.
In 3 months went up over 6%
On day of vote, went to 1.5018 – implying remain vote winning
24 June: 1st day fell to 1.3224 (-13.5%) – the markets were not expecting a Brexit win
2nd day fell to 1.3118 (-14.5%)
Some reprieve for the next six days as the Pound stabilised – this is a technical phenomenon. After such large falls, sellers need a rest.
8th day: last night fell to fresh low 1.2796 (-17.4%)
Now recovered to 1.2916
Levels – I have two others in between these but for simplicity of the display on the show:
1.2597 = -2.5% lower (-19.2% from peak)
1.2128 = -6.5% lower (-23.8% from peak)
1.1822 = -9.2% lower (-27.0% from peak)
