Wednesday's release of the UK Q2 GDP revisions is raising the usual debate as to whether the figures will be revised from the initial release of 0.4% q/q and 2.7% y/y. Some analysts are already talking of overbought momentum in GBP pairs, but the subsequent release of the all-important US CPI and durable goods orders later in the day could rebalance momentum in GBUSD. Or will it? Trading a GBP cross other than cable is an alternative -- such as GBPCAD, GBPJPY or EURGBP. Our Premium subscribers have just received today's new GBP trade with 2 important charts, laying out the technical and fundamental arguments for the trade plan.
