Unprecedented as expected!
— European parliamentary election start next week.
— June is the month ECB wants to start cutting rates.
GBP looks strong till now; June is a month that should present us lots of volatility, and more volatility means careful trades.
Investors and financial markets will be very surprised – and not at all happy – should Thursday’s ECB announcement not include the first cut in key interest rates since September 2019.
I’ve got a short on GBPJPY for the longest time. Finally, another drop. Following along!

It’s almost a month since i traded, reason being i couldnt find a reliable setup. This months has been hell of a volatility.
It’s really a month of decisions; as decisions were being made in the various elections, so also was i being careful with my very decision here on the screen.
July is just halfway through, and hopefully more coming through…
To those trading this very pair, how has your trading being going so far? And to non-traders of this very pair, do you experience a break like this with your pair? If yes, how do you react to the situation.
The two state solution already happened though… it’s Isreal and Jordon… those are the Two states.
