Hello traders, happy Wednesday! Time to make some money.
Today's Trade of the Day is EUR/GBP. With Brexit pessimism rising, I expect further weakness in the pound during the week.
Here is the complete analysis.
TECHNICALS:
The pair broke above a long-term falling channel, but big players will likely drain liquidity to get into the market at more favorable prices. A roll reversal to the lower 0.90xx levels could provide a buying opportunity.
POSITIONING:
Hedge funds increased their bearish bets slightly in the previous week, but there is still room to the upside until we reach a 52-week extreme positioning. Currently 40k contracts shorts, extreme positioning at 60k. More downside potential for the pound.
INTEREST RATES:
2-year yield differentials have still to catch up with the recent rise in the exchange rate.
FUNDAMENTALS:
EUโs chief negotiator Barnier says next 36 hours will be critical to fate of negotiations with UK.
