Hey guys, still pretty new to forex trading so go easy on me mate! I was looking at the charts today and saw news saying the pound is creeping higher mainly because US tech stocks are dragging down. Ngl I'm super confused about how this correlation actually works.
I always thought that if US tech dumps, people would run to the greenback as a safe haven, so why is Sterling gaining on this? Is the US dollar just losing steam across the board, or is there something else going on under the hood? I'm feeling a bit of fomo wanting to jump in and long GBP/USD right now, but I'm lowkey terrified of getting caught in a fakeout and buying at the local top.
For you experienced traders out there, how do you actually play these stock-to-forex spillover moves? Is this a solid setup to hold for a quick swing trade, or should a newbie like me just stay on the sidelines for now?
