Cable still has a few hundred pips of upside potential.  A triangle has formed since the 1.9970 high and is viewed as wave 4 within the 5 wave advance from 1.9361 (which itself is a C wave).  As such, a terminal thrust above 1.9970 probably occurs this week.  Resistance begins at 2.0033.  Risk on longs can be moved to 1.9811.  Within wave C (from 1.9361); wave i is 346 pips and wave iii is 355 pips.  With waves i and iii roughly equal, it is likely that wave v will be extended.  The former 4th wave at 2.0101 is a possible target but with wave v expected to be extended, the GBPUSD could charge the 50% or 61.8% at 2.0248 or 2.0463.  

STRATEGY: Bullish, against 1.9811, target 2.0119
