ON THE AIR with The Trader’s Vibe

Last month, I had the pleasure of speaking with a new traders community. Led by Carl Burgette, The Trader’s Vibe is a new weekly video podcast series where Carl interviews notable and prominent traders every week. To be considered notable and prominent in this business is truly an honor so I was happy to join him on the show. As with any new community, we spent much of the time talking about my background and how I entered into finance (which is a very unorthodox path, to say the least). Of course, we talked markets and what I was seeing at that time in the GBP. However, this was the first time that I was asked about how I’ve been treated as a woman in the business and my thoughts on bringing more women and people of color into finance.

Catch my episode of The Trader’s Vibe below. Enjoy!

ON THE AIR with Market Overtime with Nicole Petallides

I joined Market Overtime with Nicole Petallides to talk about the longer term trends presenting right now in the currency markets. This was my first time on the show. Weak GBP remains the prevailing theme in forex right now. Listen to hear why. Enjoy!

ON THE AIR with F.A.C.E.

Today, I spoke live with over 200 traders in the Forex Analytix Community Experience (F.A.C.E.) about what the opportunities are in GBP for the new trading week ahead. With multiple pairs ending the previous trading week at major support levels, there were several great opportunities to share with traders live in the market on camera. That’s always great. I hope everyone who caught me live is doing some trade management now on those trades. We have some great moves already in the $GBPUSD and $GBPJPY. In case you missed it, do study the replay below.

THE TRADERS SUMMIT

When my friends at Forex Analytix asked me to join their amazing speakers line up, I was thrilled. I was honored to join the event on April 30, 2020 and speak with new traders, in particular, about how to be successful in the forex market and help all traders with some insights on the GBP. Watch the replay of my presentation below and find the entire 2-day event on their Youtube page.

Elections Set Direction

More than ever, since I have been trading the forex markets, elections matter. The GBP has been stuck in ranges versus every major currency for months. Months! It’s been maddening. You can see these large ranges especially in the $GBPUSD, $GBPJPY, and $GBPAUD.

But during the last week of November, the GBP started to break these ranges. The culprit was the early polls in the UK showing that the PM’s political party, the Conservatives, would likely win a majority in Parliament. Months (years!) of British government gridlock, that prevented the UK and EU from coming to an agreement, looked to be over. And the markets began to get euphoric with increasing buying momentum building in the GBP across the board. The GBP exploded higher when exit polls confirmed the early poll results: Tories won an overwhelming majority in Parliament.

With such strong moves to the upside, it seems that the election has set the midterm direction in the GBP. However, this trading week has seen all of the post-election euphoria completely undone.

GBPUSD 4 HOUR CHART
EURGBP 4 HOUR CHART
GBPAUD 4 HOUR CHART

So now what? Well, the Bank of England (BoE) is slated to announce its last monetary policy decision of 2019 this Thursday morning. The BoE has been surprisingly hawkish all this year as they have allowed the economic data persuade them that the British economy has remained much more robust than they expected after the 2016 Brexit vote. I expect them to remain hawkish with the Brexit uncertainly largely assuaged with this general election. A hawkish BoE will see the GBP gain some support after the week’s corrective selloff. However, if the BoE suddenly changes its tune, the GBP correction lower will turn into rapid selloff.

Looking at the charts, the GBP is clearly waiting on the BoE. Trade what you see!

ON THE AIR with F.A.C.E.

On Monday, October 14, 2019, I joined Dale Pinkert on the Forex Analytix Community Experience to speak about the rally in the GBP at the end of the last trading week. I spoke about how the GBP had much more room to run given how the new turn of events in Brexit has changed the fundamental landscape for the GBP.

Unbelievably, all of my calls made on Monday have already been hit and this trading week hasn’t even ended yet. Better yet is news that hit the wires this morning that the EU has accepted the UK’s deal. Now, it is in the hands of the UK Parliament. Keep eyes on how this plays out. It will most certainly drive market flows in the short term for the GBP.

Check out also my levels and technical analysis during my segment and enjoy the show! Make sure you watch to the end to hear my commentary on the S&P 500 and equity markets.

ON THE AIR with F.A.C.E.

On Wednesday, July 3rd, an hour after my appearance the TD Ameritrade Network, I was back on the air with Dale Pinkert and the Forex Analytix Community (F.A.C.E.). We talked about the current breakdown in the Great British pound, looking specifically at levels of importance in the $EURGBP, $GBPUSD, $GBPCAD, $GBPNZD, and the $GBPAUD.

Dale is a veteran in the business and masterful interviewer. He asked some great questions about the trading courses that I have available and how clients fare with my investment advisory services. So you learn about that too!

Enjoy the show!

ON THE AIR with FUTURES with Ben Lichtenstein

I kicked off the Fourth of July holiday on Wednesday, July 3rd with a special guest appearance on the TDA Network show, FUTURES with Ben Lichtenstein. It is fun talking to Ben about currency markets because he comes at it from a purely futures lens and I from a purely forex lens. For example, when we discuss the Australian dollar, he’ll say $6A_F and I’m actually referring to the $GBPAUD. I just love this juxtaposition and the insights we discuss as a result.

The central banks were front and center throughout my segment. The RBA might be done with interest rate hikes while the Federal Reserve probably cuts interest rates this month after all (see the Bloomberg story linked below) and the BoE figures out how to maneuver the latest Brexit drama. What does that mean for the summer forex market?
