Pound Falls Victim To Failure To Reach Brexit Agreement

Dear Traders, Yesterday was absolutely none of our favorite trading days as we had to struggle with volatile but choppy swings in the GBP/USD after U.K. Prime Minister May and European Commission President Juncker failed to reach an agreement on Brexit negotiations due to divisions over Ireland. The pound’s performance was disastrous for breakout trades […]

EUR And GBP With A Tailwind, But Do We Underestimate USD?

Dear Traders, Both British pound and euro traded higher against the U.S. dollar Thursday, although the dollar was also strong against other currencies. The dollar received a boost after Arizona Senator John McCain said he would support the tax plan but the tax reform bill is still far from done and dusted. Votes on the […]

Pound Is Flying High, Next Targets To Watch Out For

Dear Traders, The British pound extended its gains and jumped higher towards the next hurdle around 1.35-1.3515. Traders who traded the bullish movement yesterday had, however, to struggle with limited upside swings and short-term corrections before the pound was ready for another leg higher. Reportedly, Dublin and London are close to an agreement on the […]

Pound Jumps On Brexit Hopes

Dear Traders, Many wondered yesterday what happened to the pound as it jumped more than 150 pips after falling to a weekly low of 1.3220. The high volatility was triggered by reports that the U.K. and E.U. have agreed a deal over the U.K.’s Brexit divorce bill, achieving a breakthrough in Brexit talks. The pound […]

EUR/USD Approaches 1.1860, Next Target At 1.1905?

EUR/USD: The […]

Euro And Pound Soar Amid Low Liquidity

Dear Traders, The euro and pound sterling have soared to fresh highs amid low trading volumes. The upward movement in both EUR/USD and GBP/USD was not only driven by low liquidity but also by a weakening U.S. dollar. While trading volume was low with most U.S. market participants being offline for the long holiday weekend, […]

EUR/USD Remains Below 1.18, GBP/USD Faces 1.33

Dear Traders, The euro ended the trading day virtually unchanged against the U.S. dollar after a bullish reversal towards 1.18 has proved short-lived. We now expect the EUR/USD to trade lower towards 1.1680 unless we see a sustained break above 1.18 and farther 1.1840, which would shift the bias in favor of the bulls. The […]

USD Weakness Sends EUR And GBP Soaring

Dear Traders, While the House passed its version of tax bill Thursday, the U.S. dollar was little impressed and plunged during the Asian session amid low trading volumes. The EUR/USD traded higher in the early European trading hours and we now focus on the 1.1850-barrier, which could prove crucial in terms of further bullish momentum. […]
