GBPUSD - GBP Now Stronger Then The USD?Analysis: This has been a beautiful pair to trade recently and now we've got another opportunity setting up. Firstly looking at the chart it's clear to tell that we're in an upwards trend. We're forming higher highs and higher lows which confirms what we're seeing. We also have an upwards trendline which is being respected, again showing us that we're in an upwards trend so we're only interested in long positions. Price has made a move to the downside which may seem bearish, however this is just a pullback in an upwards trend. Where we're at currently looks like a great possible place to enter. We've got a previous area of resistance and as we know resistance often becomes support once broken so we expect that this will happen this time around. This isn't just our only confluence though. At this level we also have the middle between the 50% fib retracement level and the 61.8% fib retracement level, which is often called the "golden zone". All this means is that we expect bullish momentum to be in this area which would in turn push price to the upside making our level more attractive to buy at. To add further bullish strength to this level we also have an upwards trendline. This trendline has been respected multiple times in the past and every time its been touched we've seen strong bullish momentum. With trading history often repeats itself which is why we expect price will respect this upwards trendline again. Finally to further our point on the technical aspect we've been seeing slowing bearish momentum indicating to us that the bears are taking a step back and it's time for the bulls to step in and push price higher. This morning we did have some news come out for the GBP which was worse then expected, however this news isn't comparable to the bullish strength that we have so this doesn't really matter to us. Taking a look at the fundamentals as well we can see that the GBP actually overtook the USD in strength, meaning the GBP is now the 2nd strongest major currency whereas the USD is the 3rd strongest major currency, so this just furthers our bullish thesis, however we still have more bullish confluences to add to our idea. As of the most recent report for institutional positioning for the GBP we saw an increase in short positions of 18K which may seem bearish, however we also saw an increase of 24K long positions so this is very bullish for the GBP. This isn't the same for the USD however. As of the most recent report on institutional positioning for the USD we saw an increase of 7K long positions, but we also saw an increase of 8K short positions, meaning this is bearish for the USD. Overall we have all of our confluences pointing to bullishness on this pair and we're also sat at a strong level which we expect to hold, giving us a strong reason to be bullish!

GBPUSD - Pullback Before A Continuation Higher!Analysis: Looking at the charts we're clearly able to see that price is in an upwards trend. We've been forming higher highs and higher lows which shows us the trend we're in so knowing this we're only looking for long setups on this pair. We also have a key level which we've marked out where we've previously seen a strong rejection from but we've since broken higher and we're currently retesting this previous level of resistance for support. As we know resistance very often becomes support which is what we're expecting to happen now. To further add to our idea and why we think price will head to the upside from this level, we also have the 38.2% fib retracement level. Whilst this isn't the strongest level we still do often see this area hold and with this fib retracement level being at our area of support we expect that it will hold and we'll see buyers step in, pushing price higher. Another confluence factor that we have is the upwards trendline that is present. When this trendline has been tagged before we've seen buyers step in and push price higher. This trendline also lines up with our area so we have a really strong level of support which is why we think this is a good place to enter. The fundamentals as well favour our idea. Currently the USD is the strongest major currency whilst the GBP is the 3rds strongest major currency. Whilst this doesn't go in our favour, if we dig a little deeper we can see why we are actually fundamentally bullish on the GBP over the USD. As of the most recent report for institutional positioning we saw a decrease in both long and short positions for the USD so this is neutral whereas for the GBP this is an entirely different story. As of the most recent report for institutional positioning on the GBP we saw a massive increase in long positions whilst also seeing a massive decrease in short positions so this is very bullish for the GBP and this looks like to us, early signs of possible bullishness to come for the GBP. With the technicals and fundamentals both pointing to buy the GBPUSD we get a bullish outlook for this pair. This position will also help to hedge our USD positions as we are heavily involved in the USD currently and with this position we're able to make money if the USD goes up or down because we're hedged. At JPI we like to hedge certain positions when we're exposed as this allows us to better manage our risk and with such a bullish setup on GBPUSD this seems like a perfect pair to hedge positions against.

GBPUSD retracement LONG positionHello all I am looking to get in to GBPUSD With a weakening USD and GBP gaining strength dependant on sentimental short term views, i think that price will retrace today back into the 50% to 61.8% area of the Fibonacci region highlighted within the picture. Price could carry on or only retrace back to 38% area, however we will look for buy signals at these areas. The 50% is the preferred area where price also meets previous resistance which will now become support to head higher again Duncanforex.com coming in the next 9 days. you can go to the site now to register your interest. Thanks for reading my trade idea.
