Looks like we had quite a recovery. Back from 1.6260 to the 1.64's.

Looks like dailyfx.com have had a little revamp. Here's a good page to see what's happening in the world to influence cable

If you're not a gambling man I'd get the cash now...
Here are a couple of mails that I got from TorFX (who i've exchanged money with) in the last few days

29/10

The Pound has made gains against the majors a short rally end of month. However, US has just declared that they are OUT of a recession, UK last out!

I would suggest trading as soon as possible, the MPC announcements on Thursday with possible further q'easing measures.

02/11
Just a quick follow up, the Pound/Greenback pairing is sliding ahead of the BoE announcements on Thursday. Currently trading above the 1.6 mark but with US out of the recession and UK still in the worst ever, I think that this pairing will travel back into the 1.5's and beyond.
The current trading rate for GBP/USD is 1.6170 (subject to constant change).
Having said all that, the Pound may rally strongly against all the currencies after Thursday if no further q'easing measures are taken and the adjusted GDP results are to the good!
