GBPUSD short - as Brexit and a possible rate cut coming closerHello guys, As we can all see everyone in the UK was so excited about taking a direction on the 13th of December so price has been pumped up to 1.35 where reality (a.k.a Boris Johnson and his Brexit plan) kicked into our teeth and started a sell off the British pound. By Christmas the sellers cooled down a little bit so the market could finally started a retracement. By the New Year it could re-test the Fib61.8 level then few days later the Fib50 without triggering another major push to the downside so I am expecting the price will re-test Fib38.2 to fully complete the retracement with a possible fakeout of the descending trendline, where I believe we should keep our eyes on if we are looking for a low risk short position targeting 1.28, the bottom of the October - November consolidation area. Alternatively we can also watch out for another low risk entry point if the market breaks below the 1.30500 level and turns the support of the retracement into resistance. Thank you for reading my analysis, please push a Like if you think it is useful or leave a comment either you agree or disagree with me.

Euro suffers, pound is growing, & dollar waits for PowellPowell speaks in Jackson Hole that is what everybody is waiting for. Fed minutes from the meeting also showed the lack of unity among the Fed members. That might lead to the fact that the rate can be either lowered in September or left unchanged. That is complete uncertainty. That is why Powell's comments are that important. Markets still believe in the rates cut, and afraid to sell the dollar without any existing facts. So Powell’s “pigeon” comments are capable of setting off dollar selling in the foreign exchange market. Therefore we recommend the short dollar. However - if Powell does not give any clear comments, markets may perceive this as the Fed’s unwillingness to cut the rates in September, which could lead to a wave of dollar purchase Statistics on business activity in the Eurozone and the United States came out. As for the data from Europe on the one hand, the Eurozone Composite PMI was better than expected above 50, as was the PMI in the services sector. On the other hand, data from Germany showed a sharp deterioration in the situation, and at the highest pace over the past 6 years: respondents are expecting production to decline in the foreseeable future. The United States also upset. PMI indices came out much worse than expected, and the manufacturing index generally came out below 50, which indicates a reduction in business activity in the United States. The publication of the last ECB meeting minutes showed that Central Bank officials at their meeting on July 25 discussed the benefits of combining two measures to lower interest rates and bond purchases. Recall that the ECB left its policy unchanged last month, but made it clear that it was preparing to reduce its already negative rate and resume buying bonds in September. So, the euro does not look like the best thing to buy. We recall our recommendation to sell the euro against the pound. Moreover, Johnson is stepping up towards agreeing with the EU. Even though Europe in every possible way welcomes his efforts: in particular, Merkel believes that a new deal with Great Britain is possible before the end of October. In general, the Big Seven Conference may be a kind of breakthrough in the stalemate with Brexit. We have strengthened our desire to buy the pound, especially at extremely attractive current prices.

SHORT NZDUSD: +2 STANDARD DEVIATION PIVOT POINT ON DAILY & H1Also as additional technicals to support the short NZD$ view: 1. On the daily, weekly and H1 NU currently Trades (and at 0.73) close/ at to its +2 standard deviation lines, these are highly resistive. - Assuming NU trades mean reverting +2SD means there is a 95% chance of a price reversal/ 95% of all prices should be below the +2SD channel lines (e.g. NU highly likely lower from here). -- And as you can see by the Circle Yellow highlights NU has held this +/- 2SD discipline in the past so is highly likely to maintain these levels in the future. 2. Also NU trades significantly above its 60, 120, and 250 Moving Averages on 1h, 4h, 1D, 1wk - this also signals strong overbought prices, where selling has a higher probability of success. *Be sure to check the attached post "SELL NZDUSD @0.73 - TP 700PIPS: BREXIT, RBNZ, FED & USDJPY HEDGE" for NZDUSD short fundamentals*
