GBP/USD - COT Building Shorts - Long Trend Until Break

85
Bear
-Large Speculators began building shorts 5/3/2020.
-Since then, there has not been a significant amount of distribution volume.
-I think ideally most traders (me) were looking for the parallel channel below Weekly resistance to break down and prove to be a flag.
-POC for the period of short accumulation is marked, and has proven to be the ideal place for Large Specs to build their position so far.

Bull
-The lower distribution volume could potentially mean the Large Specs are trying to build shorts at higher prices.
-Longs still in play for now (but not right where we sit with the 4H SFP)
-Long targets of 61.8% + Monthly Level could be a better place to build the short position. Watch for volume if we reach this zone.

Conclusion
-Room to move higher, but currently showing a 4H SFP of the Daily Level.
-Watch COT reports for Short/Long contract changes. Do they start exiting shorts or stacking at higher prices. Volume will show this before the COT is released.
-Stay with trend until trend change on increased volume.
-Will look to short this level if distribution volume increases & this 4H candle provides another SFP/rejection wick (which is starting to form now)
-Long pullback to local Daily Level, but ensure buying support steps in.
Note
If i needed to fill a large order of shorts, I would definitely sweep these obvious historical resistance highs.
