Large macro players have been spotted on the offer, a few moves later and we can be back at 1.313x in little time. Things that develop thereafter will be interesting, for now let's play the initial leg down trapping the unaware buyers who are protecting GBP. Swing the club, and don't mess it up!

Time to start thinking about trailing and clearing our positions if we breach back above 1.361x for NY.
Comment
Sellers starting to lose control as anticipated after losing 1.361x with NY today. This looks like it will end in a scratch trade. We can update the chart tomorrow after we clear UK inflation.
Trade closed manually
Overshoots in UK inflation and we are set for the breakup. All positions cleared on the trail.
