Starting it off. I hope that with interest rate decision in USA and UK this week we will see some nice move. The last five weeks were just terrible.

40 pips drop so far. Quite a volatility as for Monday morning, I hope it will stay with us for some time.

Looks like this area worked. My next levels to the upside are 1.2210, 30 and 50-60.

Just an interesting observation. Usually the moves in Cable start between 2 and 3 AM EST, where 2 is an hour before London opens. This is quite similar to American session starting at 9:30 EST, during which real moves can start as early as at 8:30. Earlier moves are rather rare.
This week and next one are different due to daily savelight time change, which has already taken place in USA, but in Europe we will adjust it in two weeks.
As a result 2 AM EST is 2 hours before London open, so one should expect the moves to start at 3 AM EST. However, today and yesterday all the moves started at 2 AM, which means that algos controlling early European session are synchronized to American time. Quite surprising and means I have to wake up earlier for the next two weeks.

They dropped it further, though. At least there is some volatility.
