FOREX: Price Action Consistent with GBP Demand, USD Sales into 4pm London

Nov-12 16:18

USD reversal holds in recent trade, helping form a notable intraday reversal in the likes of EURUSD, USDCNH and - in particular - GBPUSD.

  • Price action is consistent with some GBP buying and USD sales into the 4pm WMR fix, and while the rally in GBPUSD does put the pair close to 50 pips off intraday lows, the rally is still well short of AM highs into 1.3155 and yesterday's 1.3184.
  • Futures volumes are consistent with a pick-up in interest for GBP as the spot rate recovered off lows - and the tail-off of activity as the rate stalls into 1.3140 further supports the view that the move was flow-related.
  • We noted earlier today that dips in EURGBP remain well supported around the prior breakout level at 0.8769, highlighting the dominant uptrend. The next topside target remains at 0.8875, the April 2023 high.
