Seriously GU well above 1.6400 ? Okay, hitting sell button then
Looking good so far, nice call mate. Am at ,6392 SL ,645. Was not sitting in front of PC and actually aint watching this pair much. But wanted to sell GBP somewhere for longer term hold. We could get screwed up here if ECB goes to those neg rates or launches LTRO, but thats imo not on the table anytime soon.

Adding here to shorts 1.3559

Any fundamental reasoning here Tom? Went back thru UK economic data this past week and I just dont see an opening for bearishness in GBP. Agreed its overbought, and USD strength could take GBPUSD lower off these insane highs, but arent there other ways to play USD strength?

I see a lower low on 4hr with 1.356x as pivot area. Daily just made a lower high at the 1.3625 region, thats confirmed if we can remain below that 1.356x on daily close. Weekly candle in danger of a bearish engulfment if we can remain below 1.355x.

Either way, I will be out at break even around 1.359x if it trades above there. Already took some decent profits on inital shorts from 1.3576.

I have a bearish bias though, so what do I know

Cheers mate,

GU rose steadily lately, but it has to come to an end..even a 200/300 pips retrace is good enough.

Everybody is stating good numbers for GBP, but i don't believe in this numbers coming out of a magic hat while the worldwide economy is a mess

GU may not have top yet, but RR for shorts is very good

You guys are watching GU? Went little short although I dont watch technicals there, as am long term bearish on GBP. Their CB eases for quite some time already, still overshooting inflation targets and main reason it is up here is ECB cut. Imo not bad to trade a few with low leverage, as it is mid term trade.
Forgot to mention they are filling in cash to tze banks to fix holes in MBS portfolios since 2008. Still the same, but UK CB is more agressive than ECB as it is not bound by squarreling EU bureaucrats and Lisbon treaty while their economy is bound to crumbling eurozone,... so... , nuff for me.
edit: and their retail sector is still a mess despite these actions.
edit: did I say CFD? I mean MBS

Best hope for GBP shorts is probably in the positioning. All the big time players got cleaned out over the summer, last I looked COT positions were going mildly long. The huge moves higher were all basically short squeezes supported by the summer turn in the UK economy. Now that the positioning is sitting slightly long and price is overbought, its def a candidate for shorts. For longer term though, I want to see downside surprises in PMI and the overall trend of PMIs lower.

As for reasoning behind the UK economic strength I think its right to be skeptical. QE global low rates has helped out all these European economies, I wonder how higher rates will effect them. Give it 2-3 more months and Id bet the UK will slow as longer term gilt rates trade above 3%

40 to 45 is a bump or the reversal. 35 to 38 also. below these it's free to continue down.

anyway sl at be by now...
