GBPUSD Trading Above Ichimoku Cloud – IDDA Strategy

GBPUSD Trading Above Ichimoku Cloud – IDDA Strategy

P.S. Join me for a webinar on Thursday at 5 PM GMT as I conduct a thorough analysis on all GBP crosses.

1- Fundamental Points

UK side: After the the U.K. Supreme Court ruling on Tuesday, we saw a ton of volatility across the GBP crosses. However at the end, it looks like hope for a “softer” Brexit got rejuvenated. That explains why Mr. British Pound has been trading higher against his major forex dancing partners.

US side: President Trump pulled the US out of the TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership) on Monday. The TPP is a trade agreement among twelve Pacific Rim countries, but does not include China. It was signed in February 2016 in New Zealand after seven year of talks.

At this point nobody really knows what will happen if the US really withdraws from the pact. However, the TPP is weakened beyond recognition by the withdrawal of its largest member.

While Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has reportedly said that that the TPP without the United States would be “meaningless,” Australia has said they’ll go through with it even if the US isn’t there. This could give the global “super-power key” to China, which in turn, could weaken the USD.

Coming up… 

Coming up on the economic calendar on Thursday, we have yet another market-moving event out of the UK as they release their Q4 GDP at 9:30 AM GMT. Later during the New York session we have the US Unemployment Claims as well as their Advance Goods Trade Balance (DEC) at 1:30 PM GMT, followed by Leading Indicators (DEC) out at 3 PM GMT.

On Friday volatility could pick up during the New York session as the US releases their Advance GDP q/q at 1:30 PM GMT which is expected to have ticked down to 2.2% versus last quarter’s 3.5%. US Core Durable Goods Orders will also be out at the same time. Later at 3 PM GMT  UoM Consumer Sentiment will be out to end the trading week.

2- Technical Points

The GBP/USD pair opened above the daily Ichimoku cloud on Thursday’s Asian session, moving towards the 23% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.2760. Support is set at 1.2115.

3- Market Sentiment

47% of traders are long in GBPUSD trading. Long positions are 5.7% lower than Tuesday and 7.1% below levels seen last week. Short positions are 17.3% higher than yesterday and 77.1% above levels seen last week. Open interest is 5.3% higher than yesterday and 30.9% above its monthly average. We use this market sentiment data as a contrarian indicator to price action, and the fact that the majority of traders are short gives signal that the GBPUSD may continue higher. The trading crowd has flipped from net-long to net-short from yesterday and last week. The combination of current sentiment and recent changes gives a further bullish trading bias.  Stay tuned for more on market sentiment for GBPUSD trading in our investing group.
