Whilst I hate trying to exchange the news (I say attempting because previously I've been burned) I must seriously consider if the market is telling us that way news is expected to go and if you can exchange the news before the event???
Apart from the GBPJPY I commented above a fantastic look at GBPUSD reveals 1 hr chart W's% R crossed up -50 line at midnight est, 30 min chart daily fozzy RSI crossed SMA and W's% R was already above -50 line and 15 min chart a similar narrative i.e. buy GBPUSD. Because of the UK CPI coming out I wasn't looking at it as much.
Another thing from memory, US news may see GBPUSD bounce around all over the place but UK news appears to observe that the currency transfer solidly in one direction. Again this is from memory and probably because in this case at least the CPI was considerably bigger than expected and favorable to UK interest rates therefore there was only 1 means for cable to go.
Well its mentioned today I will not forget again.
