At 10.00 a.m. we will have U.S. Existing Home Sales and U.S. Consumer Confidence coming out. Home sales is pretty much number 1 topic right now, and I believe Existing home sales is going to be more important than the consumer confidence; however, the consumer confidence has to be in tune with home sales. If it is conflicting too much, that would be a little messy trade. Existing Home Sales are expected to come out at 5.5 M. If they come out at 5.8 M or higher, that would actually be a significant rebound, better reading than the last two months, and I think based on that GBP/USD may possibly go down by 40 pips or more in the first hour of the report. On the other hand, if the home sales disappoints, and reads 5.2 million, that would actually be a quite big jump down from 5.75 million last month, and a reading of 5.2 million or lower would probably drive GBP/USD up by 40 pips or more in the first hour of the report. Again, if U.S. consumer confidence conflicts, and that there is some really important price levels, the move may be a little bit choppy, however, if they don't conflict, there is a pretty good chance to hit my price projections.
SUMMARY:
* Report: U.S. Existing Home Sales
* Sell on GBP/USD if the number will be 5.8 M or higher.
* Buy on GBP/USD if the number will be 5.2 M or lower.
* If the trigger is hit, expect 40 pips or more in the first hour of the report.
