As part of Month end move,players made the slow drop with lower level consolidation in EURO and GBP with focus to rise EURO/GBP to trap any level short sellers to come for short covering.Till week end they are expected to gain levels and induce further short covering from traders in European crosses.In japanese yen crosses they are doing downward drop to trap all level buyers to liquidate.In this process EURO has gained ,GBP and USD/YEN dropped .USD/CHF and USD/CAD wide range swings are being shown to make the traders to do sell on rise and buy on corrections- all these are month end trap moves to make moves opposite to it from today till Monday and first week of September.
Today EURO and GBP gained during start of japanese session and later GBP alone made the dip to rise EURO/GBP.So it is more of EURO/GBP play rather than GBP weakness.
EURO and GBP are expected to make a brief dip during late japanese session and then recover the momentum to rise during European session.More rise is expected during US session- initially rising more EURO when compared with GBP and later rise GBP aggressively holding EURO to drop EURO/GBP -after short covering the players are expected to drop quickly EURO/GBP to buy against their sell positions built up now.
In all currencies try to trade using hedging to limit the risk during quick reversal moves,also keep stop at entry once the position makes profit to eleminate the risk as essential trading strategy.
I will give updates as and when I read their moves before hand.
