ridethepig | EURGBP Market Commentary 2020.08.14EURGBP finding a bid from 0.900x as widely expected since earlier in the month. Here actively adding longs on the pullback for a move towards 0.915x highs. Little Britain are still nowhere near out of the woods yet with the 'oven ready’ Brexit still to come later this year. For those wondering why not Cable? It’s very tough to time a bottom in the dollar with the artificial devaluation underway, flows will eventually exhaust hence recommending caution in GBPUSD. My preferred vehicle for expressing a weaker GBP and profiting from the economic bondage is EURGBP. On the technical side, those with a background in waves will know we are preparing for an impulsive wave targeting the 0.908x and 0.914x minimum flow. Eyes on the close today, a lot of talk making the rounds of a pound clearout. Thanks as usual for keeping the feedback coming 👍or 👎

ridethepig | EURGBP Market Commentary 2020.07.22🔸 An 'ingenious' saving move from Europe and finally they are able to get debt mutualisation through. It will be very bullish for EURUSD in the Medium and Long term horizons, although the ST will become a lot more cloudy via Covid as we enter into the Autumn / Winter for the Northern Hemisphere. I prefer to play EUR on the crosses and vs. GBP is a no-brainer considering that no-deal brexit is still to come and counter any short-lived GBP strength. I am fortunate enough to be dealing with an audience who can take a hint and understand when not to believe politicians. It went: Next came: And now we are entering into a whole game, because EURGBP is a good example of how even in FX both sides can align to the same direction and define the central strategy. Here the following line remains that Brexit is giving up competitiveness and market access (at least in the Short-term we can agree whatever your view is on the matter) which opens up the need for currency devaluation. As long as the UK side makes soft, it makes it difficult to build a constructive view on GBP. The latest ‘track and trace’ systems entering into the picture will weigh heavy on consumer confidence and ensure GBP will remain soft. Actively tracking the same loading zones with 0.905x to add longs in EURGBP and 1.270x to load shorts in GBPUSD. A previous example was last year with the elections, but this is no less imaginative. In a situation where both fundamental sides align, EURGBP will be able to turn the 0.91xx handle into a new base for activity which we can handle in an almost virtuoso fashion. As usual thanks for keeping the feedback coming 👍 or 👎

ridethepig | GBPUSD Market Commentary 2020.07.20On the GBP side, all quiet on Brexit news with cable and EURGBP stuck within tight ranges defined last week. Here actively selling cable with the European close at 1.262x, risk is entering back into the picture via virus anxiety we will see USD better bid than it 'should' be. I suspect we will have BOE on the wires at some point later in the week talking down the moves and keeping things tight. Better outflows for GBP will start once Brexit enters back under the microscope. I still think the UK will receive another major hammer towards 1.15 and 1.10 along with consumers drowning via inflation. The strategy remains, continue to sell GBP on rallies as the dark storm clouds approach, tracking closely 1.262x resistance for sellers loading (we are here) and fading 0.908x lows in EURGBP. As usual thanks for keeping the feedback coming 👍 or 👎

ridethepig | EURGBP Market Commentary 2020.07.08📍 The following position comes after a temporary concession break of 0.90x strong support. After sellers came crumbs away the first time, buyers felt at liberty to allow the breach and trap more on the counterplay. The mysterious trap is coming and buyers wish to occupy the 0.90xx handle rather fast to rule out any cheap entries. At the right moment, we can double down on momentum as price develops . Let me say a few quick words about the birth of this position; it is closely linked to the GBP devaluation via Brexit and the history of protectionism positional plays... First there was the complete control of Downing Street and the Treasury, the "no-deal" hijacking was only possible from this populists. 📌 Then came the stratagem of a covid flank which rendered the first 1.15xx test, sellers could not breakdown without profit taking and loading a second barrel. Moreover, the GBP weakness can be played in the crosses: Admitting the damage of Brexit is worth considering for those still thinking this environment is +ve for GBP. The threat of negative rates would mark the official surrender. Thanks as usual for keeping the feedback coming 👍 or 👎

ridethepig | EURGBP Positional Play📍 EURGBP What are we trading here? A counter any false conceptions that we will see a Brexit deal. All headlines produce an immediate effect for trading: wait patiently and quiet and justify fades: Here the static weakness of GBP can clearly be recognised. Any idea of pullbacks into support will be short-lived. These remain our key loading zones with positional swings! - In this case, Buyers will refuse sellers the freeing breakdown to prevent any cheap entries. A ruthless strategy from Downing Street to avoid any extension flanks, and try rather to operate under the premise of No-deal. The strongest hands will be rewarded; one should hang on to the bearish UK story as long as possible. Thanks all for keeping the support coming with likes, charts, comments and as usual keep the feedback coming 👍 or 👎

BUY EURGBPAfter the market was moving in a clear direction during the first 2 weeks of the month, this week we see retention and correction in almost all places. In these moments it is extremely important to be patient so that we can achieve the best possible results in the future! At this point, in our opinion, the best option remains with EURGBP! The price broke the trend line and bounced exactly from 61.8 Fibonacci (0.8862-0.9025). This gives us reason to believe that the correction is over and we will see higher values. Resistance levels: 0.9037 0.9071 0.9172 Critical level for the analysis - 0.8862 NB! Today from 11:00 GMT- BoE Interest Rate Decision Do you have active positions?

Dax daily: 18 Jun 2020We were unsure about the price development yesterday as no hints were present. We clearly defined the range of 12 151 - 12 494 and the price stayed there all day long. The session was a slow one with the range being relatively narrow. Dax was moving sideways just to close the day near break even. Our zones remain unchanged. Important zones Resistance: 12 494 Support: 12 151 Statistics for today Detailed statistics in the Statistical Application Macroeconomic releases 09:30 CEST - SNB Policy Rate + Statement Today's session hypothesis Dax opens the day with a small descending gap. We anticipate the retest of yesterday's close and trading in the defined range. The nearest S/R zones will play a major role and the price action around either of these will be a decisive factor for further price estimation. The breakout will be a major focus for us. We have a day filled with macroeconomic events so stay alert.

ridethepig | GBP Market Commentary 2020.06.15The long run positional struggle for buyers which comes from their immobility to find positives in the Brexit debacle. It is extremely important to note the coming years of UK growth are harmed via the presence of protectionism, the fundamentals have widely been discussed here: With Brexit headlines entering back into play, focus will shift towards NDB repricing as there is little encouragement to see here. The GBP is getting hit badly as expected all last week with EURGBP flirting with the break above 0.90x again. Actively looking to add cable shorts on any rallies into 1.255x. Look to target 1.237x below with stops above 1.265x.

ridethepig | GBP/AUD Outlook📍 Overview This chart comes after a conversation with @Alamakota. Brexit move played in this game was triggered in Jun 2016, you will notice on the Q chart how four years after buyers demonstrated a full retrace, before sellers rejected the highs and there we have the winning move. The UK is entering into the house of economic bondage in the ST and MT. Covid has put additional pressure on the pursuit of UK weakness; buyers were forced to flee and risks of a no-deal are rising again. As we discussed together earlier in the year in this Brexit chapter will make it difficult to conjure any reason to hold GBP and as such investors would rather avoid the unnecessary risk. The GBPUSD outlook will be also a function of how much artificial USD devaluation we see from global CB's to help keep EM alive. This makes the preferred vehicles of expressing weaker GBP clear, the connection between GBP vs EUR and JPY will be unprotected. Despite the risk associated with NDB, Downing Street have managed to get this across the line and pushed the UK into the blackhole. This "trap" in wave ii was much praised. The fact that it is a strategic goal to pump and dump the currency was not really considered by anybody. But the goal is and will remain to shake out soft retail hands and not allow any easy entries for the central knee-jerk reactions, while in the long run the crumbling continues. Risks to the thesis come from: => UK softening Brexit tone and looking for possible extensions => China-Australia trade protectionism In our case, short-term and medium-term / daily and weekly charts will come over the weekend as we dig deeper into the set-up. Hope I am wrong but looks like the UK is at the start of a difficult and costly journey. A more natural continuation is expected.

ridethepig | Gilt Yields Breaking the GridlockThe best move, since the breakout of the consolidation after an early basing development is to work the heat of the bid. It is much more about the political configuration than and how to work against the economic pain coming from Brexit. As well as moves in Pound and UK Equities becoming clear, Rishi Sunak now playing the tax cuts, which combined with the overdraft extensions and BOE front loaded cuts allows us to completely paralyse sterling buyers in the majority. The latest squeeze is a false liberation!! It will only manage to create enough energy for further weakness !! The isolated Pound will fall and go on to occupy the lows once more, we can open a new cable chart for those wanting to trade the flows live. By calling to their aid the tax cuts, Yields will be forced to spike into the highs and force our opponent onto the back-foot. If price escapes the highs in a freeing momentum break, we can see a surplus of tempo once inflation hits shore. This demonstrates how deadly the paralysing of Downing Street was from Cameron.
