Trading ideas: Profit taken on GBP/USD long
|EUR/USD was flat on Friday. We took profit on our GBP/USD long trade and will be hunting for lower levels to buy this pair again, unless the market picture changes.
We don't see a fundamental reason for a continuation of USD/JPY rise and will be looking for an opportunity to open a short position there.
Our AUD/USD long is progressing, but Friday's long upper wick could be worrying.

Short analysis: The USD/CAD is still fluctuating near 1.2600, where we took profit on our latest short position. In our opinion medium-term outlook remains bearish and we will be hunting for higher levels to open another short position here.

EUR/GBP
Trading strategy: Await signal
Open: -
Target: -
Stop-loss: -
Recommended size: -
Short analysis: Bear sentiment increases as the pair breaks out of its broad consolidation phase and below the and sets a new trend low 61.8% Fibo of 0.8305-0.9307. A new low is set and RSIs suggest further losses are due. But in our opinion a short position at current levels would be a risky trade.
