GBP/USD Daily Analysis - Morning Session - GMT

Stopped out of longs overnight, rate holding above the lows and showing another large wick. Late highs driven by stops and some active buying; late shorts likely to roll stops close-in. Look for more upside this week. Possibly short covering ahead of the news due Tuesday; some of that may have contributed to the one-figure rally off the lows overnight. Rate bouncing off two-year lows and is an excellent buy in my view. Rate has likely flushed out every long now and shorts will likely take gains soon leaving the rate vulnerable to a sharp rally. Possible buying from semi-official names (Russians) so watch the news. Offers above the market mixed with stops from late shorts so be ready for whipsaw the next few days. Traders expect GBP to track EURO through this week. Continue to expect a lot of cross-trading. Get ready for the rally.
