Trade Strategy
Now let’s look at today’s GBP/USD trade strategy. There is not a lot of event risk on today economic calendar. There is housing data coming out of the United States later today but should not present a lot of price action volatility.
With this being said, I will need to rely more on my technical analysis and trading charts for a trade strategy. Let’s get started. Price action shows the GBP/USD wedged between a technical support and resistance level. This means there is no clear cut trade opportunity for a trade at this time. From a reward to risk perspective, taking a long GBP (short USD) trade is not feasible at this time. There are no clear cut bearish reversal signals either at this moment. This means, that taking a short GBP trade is a bit premature. With now clear cut trade opportunity, I will opt to stand aside and watch my charts. For today, I am flat in the GBP/USD Forex market.
