GBP/USD chart questions
- Why is GBP/USD more volatile than EUR/USD?
- The sterling market is smaller and more exposed to UK-specific news such as inflation prints and budget announcements, so ranges tend to be wider.
- What is the nickname Cable?
- It dates from the transatlantic telegraph cable that once carried the exchange rate between London and New York. The name still refers to GBP/USD.
- How do I handle spikes on UK data?
- Wait for the first reaction to settle and see where price holds. A level broken on a spike candle often needs a retest to be considered confirmed.
