$GBP - What shall we do now? 

British Pound/U.S. DollarFXCM

Description

GBP - What shall we do now?

GBP - Since we hit below 1.14 - 1.10 it's really been a one way for this pair and it could continue...However, we have options!

  • 1 Emergency rate hike
    2 Intervention
    3 IMF
    4 Fiscal spending
    5 Swap Lines


Now these are the options technically speaking we filled gap around 1.09 this morning, I expected 1.06 on table during open we hit lows of 1.03... Now, if we can hold the levels of these levels and perhaps go above 1.09 then no worries. However, if we carry on with these moves then things will get very interesting and keep an eye on the Gilt & FTSE!

Now it all looks very dismal when it comes towards headlines but actually there are coming amazing investment opportunities the prices we are getting and of course if you're in USA, what a great time for you to visit! For Candle stick traders - dragon fly!

Keep alert of what happens next, this week we have a lot speakers out of CB's and most importantly trade your plan!

Best,

TJ

Comment

Bank of England says it "will not hesitate" to raise rates.

No action from the BoE as for today - Leading GBP to have a little pull back.

Comment

Technically: Currently at this moment of time the range of Lows: 1.06350 - Highs:1.09250 areas.

A break to either direction for shorter term idea.

Comment

UK 10 government bond yield jumped from 3.25% to 4.51% in less than a week.

Bank expected to raise rates significantly from their current 2.25 per cent, with markets predicting they could hit six per cent.

Mortgages edges higher... Virgin Money temporarily withdraws all mortgage products in the UK. Credit is in trouble!! Just a few month ago I was mentioning this on the various social platforms I am part of.

UK's Fiscal Blunder is still yet to continue... and dollar - cash is king. Don't fight the trend. Remember: The trend is your friend until it's broken.

Technically, a pattern is forming within 4 hr triangle - range. A break to either direction...

Comment

IMF urges Truss to reverse top rate tax cut in rare intervention.

BOE to temporary buy of long-dated UK bonds. That should elevate GBP higher.

Comment

Reaching key resistance areas of 1.09 handle a break above could take GBP towards 1.10-1.11 areas. However, if we break below 1.06 bears are back in control for now we consolidate.

Comment

Partials taken, letting rest run towards 1.11 areas.

Comment

*UK GOVT EXPECTED TO REVERSE SCRAPPING OF 45% TAX RATE - U turn was made this morning, lets see if this still goes ahead I expect higher GBP above re-testing 1.12 areas. 1.13-1.14 can easily be achieved if they were to extend this further to other factors they had put in this ' mini-budget'...

Comment

THE BANK OF ENGLAND CONFIRMS THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO BUY LONG-TERM UK GOVERNMENT BONDS UNTIL OCTOBER 14TH

Comment

Liz to hold a press conference later on today.

Headline: Liz Truss to announce corporation tax rise in major mini-Budget U-turn

Comment

2pm press conference due.

Comment

Rumour has it: Kwasi Kwarteng is being sacked as Chancellor as Liz Truss prepares to reverse the mini-Budget.

1.14 1/2 to 1.15 key resistance areas
1.11 to 1.09 3/4 key support areas

Comment

*UK NAMES JEREMY HUNT AS CHANCELLOR

Comment

What he said back in summer... "Right now, the most important thing to tackle in the British economy is inflation."

Comment

Basically we going to do Rishis plan:

UK to reverse almost all tax changes announced September 23rd

Energy intervention being shortened

Next rate expectation is in Nov - BOE.

Comment

Technical view:

Resistance: 1.13700 areas break above takes us to 1.14/1.15 handle and above 1.15, 1.17 can easily be achieved.

Support: 1.11330 areas, if that was to break down, that takes us down to 1.10170 and perhaps high ends of 1.09.

Have a great week ahead.

Comment

Lettuce resigned yesterday: New PM to be announced in week time... For now technically 1.09/1.08 we could head towards if we break below 1.11 handle.

Comment

Rishi seems way ahead, this afternoon it will be confirmed who will be the next PM. Boris is no longer participating.

Comment

Technically: Break above 1.14 then 1.16 will be easily achieved!

Comment

1.24 - 1.26 next area of interest, first a pull back.

Comment

1.30 next area of interest. Any pull back is appreciated.

Comment

Break above and close 1.24660 areas expect 1.26 then perhaps 1.29/1.30 easily Most of the movement for GBP has been due to expect a cut by this yr but overall technically it has been bullish.

As a great trader once stated "what they don't get: they love the fundamental talk and they think price is the discounting mechanism. but you cant know the future of fundamentals and you can't know what price is right even if you could. you can know sentiment and positioning so you can get good risk/reward".

And I agree...

Comment

1.25 KEY RESISTANCE!

Comment

1.25 hit! 1.25 half areas key resistance zone - Weekly & Monthly close is very important.

Comment

1.26 - as long as we stay above 1.23/1.24 bulls are in control and I expect 1.27-1.30-1.35 longer term targets.

Comment

As expected 1.23/1.24 well supported!

Comment

1.24 areas well supported as we go ahead and re-test 1.26 areas! We could even break above and get 1.30 target areas as written for months!!!

Fed meeting this week as well as CPI for US, For GBP - GDP m/m!

Comment

Well...I expect 1.27-1.30-1.35 longer term targets are coming into play!

Comment

1.29! Watch out key resistance zones...

Comment

As we had important data for GBP this morning : Average weekly earnings hit an annual 7.3% growth rate

Could be a for 7% peak rates in 2024! Don't forget about mortgage expiries as well.

Comment

1.30 HIT! next area 1.35 areas if bulls continue!

Comment

CPI came out lower perhaps a lower 25 basis point hike next...leading a pull back for GBP...EURGBP booming!!

Comment

Lower CPI print, less chances of rate hikes going forward. Expect housing to stabilise, GBP & FTSE to increase as time go by.

Comment

One word, get yourself into G I L T S. (Not Financial Advice, your investment is at your own risk).

Comment

Onwards and upwards.

Comment

GILTS rise, as yields fall....Get on board near year! Amazing opportunities, with inflation lowering at a fast rate, expect cuts next year.

Have a prosperous & healthy year ahead

Comment

UK falls into recession, well you know what that means lower equity prices will drop and government bonds will rally.

This was all counted in.

Comment

Next stop 1.30 could be on the table!

Comment

BOE - H A W K I S H. . .

GBP Upwards & Onwards...GBPG, GBP, FTSE Rallying!

@TradingView, Thank you!

It’s imperative that the BoE restore some price stability. I’ve been trading for 15 years and I’ve never known the pound to move like this. Some second rate alt-coin. Can’t say as I’m surprised following Kwasi’ stupid budget! If the price doesn’t stabilise about current levels the BoE will have to step in and that will be the move to buy

@jamesfrench73 silly comment. Gbp hasn't performed well of late but every currency on the planet is at multi Yr lows vs US dollar. The euro didn't exist forty yrs ago or that also would be at such a low vs usd.
