We finally closed the GBP/USD sell signal. This is the forex signal we have been talking about recently. It has been in the red for quite some time, then it turned back in profit this month. At some point yesterday, we were nearly a 100 pip in profit with this one, but Brexit is messing up with the GBP so we decided to end it right here and perhaps get a better selling opportunity higher up.

So, early this morning or late last night depending on where you live, a piece where apparently the British government had decided to stay in the Customs Union with the UE as a last resort to avoid a hard Irish border.

That’s the excuse because the real reason is to keep an open door for trade and business for the UK. It’s not that they don’t care about Ireland and Northern Ireland at all, but that’s what we have heard since this Brexit hype started 2-3 years ago.

GBP/USD rallied around 80 pips, some of which came in the back of some USD selloff as well. This morning though, Reuters published another piece from some unnamed British official which denies the Customs Union with the EU.

GBP/UD started reversing back down so it seemed like our signal was going well again. Well, the decline stopped and the last two hourly candlesticks look like pins which point to another reversal up. Therefore we decided to close this forex signal manually. At least, we will have some peace of mind now with Brexit. As I said earlier, we will keep an eye on this pair to see if we can get another good selling opportunity higher up.
