6B: Sterling Pullback Can Reload the SqueezeBritish Pound FuturesCME_DL:6B1!satelysfxThe British pound retains a bullish directional bias, but Wednesday’s surge has reached a nine-week high and is increasingly stretched. The better opportunity is to buy a controlled pullback in 6B rather than chase the current extension. Where the edge is Political developments triggered active sterling short-covering. Asset-manager shorts remain historically elevated and retail traders added short exposure during the rally, leaving additional squeeze fuel if support holds. Evidence The trend remains constructive and momentum continues to favour the upside. However, the latest extension has reduced immediate entry quality, making a controlled retracement preferable before renewed participation. Trade idea Seek long exposure in 6B after a pullback holds the recently reclaimed breakout structure. A sustained return beneath that structure would invalidate the continuation thesis. Target a retest of the recent high, followed by further upside if short-covering resumes. More aggressive traders may attempt a tactical short to capture the expected breather, strictly limited to today’s session. This remains a countertrend trade intended to improve the timing of the primary bullish setup, not a reversal call. -------------------- When charting futures, the data provided could be delayed.
