GBPUSD - BUYING DIPS CONTINUES: BOE RATE DECISION HIGHLIGHTS
BOE view broadly consistent with expectations, a neutral no action. Interestingly and somewhat confusing though was their "If Nov Outlook Broadly Consistent With Aug, Majority Of MPC Expect Further Rate Cut" comment which I am not sure about i.e. Aug data was firm so assuming this continues the BOE will still cut? But either way, looking at their last cut and QE GBP didnt feel the pressure and I expect this to be the same - we will need some USD demand to send GBPUSD below 1.30 for long.
Positioning, I maintain long on GBP dips into 1.31xx, aiming for 1.34. Also tactically, I am looking to short GBPAUD if we can get a daily close in the green - which nicely provides a dynamic hedge for the long STG exposure.
GBPUSD topside also is supported by forming 2 higher highs and 3 higher lows, indicating that infact this uptrend is structural - price action at the 1.345 is pivotal of a bull run.
