AS Gerry reported overnight, some of the big Middle-Eastern players were very active buyers in EUR/GBP yesterday. The break above .8280 also encouraged some technical buyers to enter the market, both on a stop-loss basis and also initiating fresh longs.

A friend of mine who sees a lot of the bigger interbank flows and orders suggests to me that selling the rally may prove to be an excellent risk-reward trade. He suggests waiting until .8350/.8400 and if the market stalls there for a session or two, then sell with a reasonably tight stop looking for a test of .8000.
