ELLIOTT WAVE Forecast: Euro and Pound Under Pressure

Short
OANDA:GBPUSD   British Pound / U.S. Dollar
Hello Traders,

From my previous short call on GBPUSD on the 13th of December (www.tradingview.com/...US-and-UK-Economies/), I noted some economic indices that favours US dollar over GBP. The analysis is unfolding pretty well.

The British pound (GBP) continues to face strong pressure from the U.S. dollar, causing it to lose its position after the impulsive breakout of the ending diagonal at 1.27035. This was expected, but we haven't reached the predicted target yet. With the Euro (euro) also expected to decline, it's unlikely the pound will recover.

Looking at the currency pair, it seems the pound is about to drop more. This is due to a complex correction in the market trend. So, it's a good idea to stick with selling the pound (GBP). If the price drops below 1.2610 and stays there, I will consider selling more towards the final leg wave (Y).

I will keep selling GBPUSD at 1.2610, and if the price goes below, I will sell more. My stop loss is set at 1.2635 and I aim to take profit at 1.2470 or lower. I will keep an eye on the market for any changes.

Cheers and happy trading.
