Why GBP/USD?

  • Compare percentage retracements from the peak for each of GBP, CAD, EUR and AUD vs the USD.
  • AUD/USD and EUR/USD have exceeded the 61.8% level by a long way.
  • CAD/USD (not the usual USD/CAD) is trading around the 61.8% level.
  • GBP/USD has not even be able to rise above the 38.2% Fibonacci level. Clearly it is the weakest among the 4 pairs. Hence my choice of GBP/USD in expressing my long USD view. [Only chart here where we can say that the long term downtrend is intact].
  • As per Gartman - sell the weakest, buy the strongest.
  • Do not make the beginners' mistake of thinking that the one that has gone up the most will be the one that has most room for decline.
