200 Pips Juicy sell set-up in GBP/USD. Who is with me?

Hello, Tradingview community and fellow traders! Many traders were probably caught off guard
by yesterday's huge bullish impulse in GBP/USD. If I remember correctly, GBPUSD moved more than 200 pips during the New York session yesterday. The move was fueled by the CPI data release from the US.

Honestly, I was prepared for a move to 1.2420 but I didn't think it would reach 1.25. That being said, I expect a fall pretty soon. You know back during the 2016-2018 period, huge moves of 200 pips in GBPUSD and 300 pips in GBPJPY were pretty common almost every week due to Brexit-related news. However, this has become a rarity now.

So, it was a pleasant surprise yesterday I guess :D Well, based on my 15 years of experience, I can say with up to 90% certainty that GBPUSD would reach at least 1.23 before the end of the week, I hope ;)

I have already sold at 1.2470 and 1.25, no SL yet but TP is at 1.23
