Some Uncertainty Shorting the EUR/GBP Short EUR/GBP @ 0.86100
SL - 0.87850
TP1 - 0.85710
TP2 - 0.85200
The COT reports below are a bit unclear although they show more entities shorting the EUR.
------NON-COMMERCIAL---|---COMMERCIAL
-------LONG------SHORT--|---LONG-----SHORT
GBP 21,400 94,000 183,500 109,600
EUR 147,000 228,000 265,000 222,400
The market is very volatile due to the upcoming Brexit news.
Trendline does show a retracement to the 61.8% soon, hopefully after i reach my TP1, possibly TP2 as well.
Using minimal risk, very small lots.
*IF/Once TP hits, I am placing a long to reach that 61.8% level @ 0.87900 which I'm almost positive is where it's heading.

-Technical and Fundamental Analysis is the same as previous CAD/NZD idea just with different entry, SL and TP's due to the fact my broker arranges the pair this way. Overall same principles and fundamentals, just different numbers.
''Gold'' A further Move to the downside?Huge Recent imbalances in the gold futures market led many to predict that speculators (usually wrong at big turning points) would be forced to out their historically extreme short bets. this has led to a correction since we had reached a monthly time frame demand zone. Will be looking closely to add on short contracts.
