GBP/USD: Buy opportunity near 1.22?
1) GB/US 2y yields show a strong divergence as the pair collapsed in the last trading week (green line)
2) The free-fall pushed RSI into oversold territory and formed a hidden bullish divergence (with the October 2019 low)
3) Economic surprises still favour a stronger US dollar, which is a headwind for the long setup.Economic surprises for the week March 9-13: USD 6/10 (bullish), GBP 3/10 (bearish)
4) Positioning: Futures traders cut around 20k of their GBP long positions and around 11k of their GBP short positions, which is slightly bearish for the pound
I still believe that the pound is a good value in the lower 1.20s and will follow the pair closely during the next week.

Pair trading near 1.20 now. Correlations still well in tact, let's see whether this is a buy.
