Sterling, choose your poison, Budget tomorrow

All the attention is on Euro and Greece, I thought I would look at sterling and the budget tomorrow.  After last year I would not want to be long sterling going into tomorrow.

Cable, weekly and 4 hourly charts:
I count 7 unsuccessful attempts to break the 1.50 level and the fib confluence below.



Sterling Yen
looks even more bearish, daily chart, the trend-line re-test has held:


GBPAUD:
Bear flag and no buyers



GBPCHF:  1.60 level support is now resistance and a measured move projection from the flag puts it at the Dec08 lows at 1.51 (800 pips).  Whenever I think it can't get there I remember selling this pair off the 1.80 level last year and getting an e-mail telling me it would never reach my target of 1.66, (if only I hung in).

GBPNZD:
Weekly



GBPNOK:
Weekly chart, broke 90 level and support becomes resistance. Break of 8.80 lines up the bottom of the channel.



GBPCAD
On its way to test support at 1.50



GBPSEK:
Support becomes resistance?
