Default Strategies for coming weeks?

It seems that coming weeks will be much more volatile, and I would like to have your ideas on GBP/USD,if you'd like to share. I was expecting over 1.50s but it did not happen, we have not seen over that level since January. Can we say that over 1.50 is too much optimistic and 1.50 is becoming a psychological level?

Default Pound is the leading one?

Hi,

We are above 1.50s for GBP/USD and housing indexes in UK are getting healthier. According to an article, Pound a ‘Screaming Buy’ as U.K. Attracts Investment, at Bloomberg, pound will strengthen its ground for the coming months. Especially, it's clearley stated that pound's still undervalued against the dollar by %18, and 15% for euro, and the eurozone will be the lagging untill the recovery ends.

It’s unbelievable, but the pair hit the key level at 1.6400 dollars per pound.

Here's a trade I'm looking forward to next week. Opened the position today after weeks of consolidation between the 32% and 50% fibonacci levels. Basically looking for a continuation of the GBP/USD trend after triangle flag.

Consolidation continues. Possibly until FOMC announcement on Wednesday.

According to the RSI, the GBPUSD is oversold…

The FOMC starts tomorrow at 02:00 (CET).
I don’t expecting any interest rate change…

I don't expect any awe inspiring news either. If anything, I think the FOMC may say that they see a bottoming in the recession, but weakness still exists.

At some point, they'll need an exit strategy to take out all of the money they pumped into the economy so that inflation doesn't get out of control later on.

Maybe they’ll give some level of clarity regarding the timing of further tightening and prospects of the Feds QE program.
They’ll have to comments about the Fed's asset buying….
