Brexit Excitement Sends GBP Bid Ready for a Shortterm Correction GBPUSD EURGBP

Today, the House of Lords struck down part of the Internal Market bill that was a crucial part of Boris Johnson’s plans for a “revised” Brexit trade deal. Although Johnson says he plans to pursue the clauses that were struck down, the Pound went bid as there is now a better chance of a trade deal getting done. Talks yesterday were encouraging as well, suggesting more optimism for the Pound. But the technicals are approaching levels for a possible reversal.
