And pretty much on cue, gold has spiked up - sorry, wrong thread, but it seems to be all part of the same move.

@ ptazczek....yes ptazczek, i agree with your view as well. Was hoping there would be a more substantial reason which was why I asked but since there is evidently NONE, I feel that holding onto my shorts wouldnt be such a bad idea anyway :D. So what if Greece is getting a bailout? its a matter of months before Spain and Portugal are exposed as well.

Tnx for the moral support guys :) Im gonna hold it because the outlook on UK is still negative. But i'd like to hedge it somewhere to limit the inevitable drawdown. Creativity first, panic afterwards ;)

pretty much most of the time - when the shorts throw in the towel - the market then goes down. If you can hold thru the euphoric rise, then your shorts normally work - the issue arises when you have seen so much pain thru the market rising against your shorts - that you are almost relieved to get out the moment the market drops closer to your break even. This is a common problem as rarely are traders good at picking absolute tops and bottoms - then, after exiting at your breakeven - the market normally has more to go below.
Will be shorting GBPUSD if it spikes again above 1.5450 - and then again if it touches 1.5550.

@Karan: my guess is simple: risk is on. GBP is a higher yielding currency against USD and JPY. Look at JPY pairs also.
Anyway, it's not a pleasant feeling to have a bunch of GBP shorts and see it spiking up on endorphine intoxication caused by the agreement on a Greece bailout package :(

GPBUSD 1.546 ... the reason is USDx weakness USDx gets weaker vs all currencies in USDx basket.
It is however against value theory GBP should fall but actually ( illiquid markets now ) EUR/GBP almost unchanged
