-GBPUSD made an outside day reversal on 1/2 after poking above 1.6600. Since 2011, the market has reverted to the mean early in the year.

-The mentioned outside day reversal along with a weekly key reversal (week that ended 1/3) warns of a top. Monday’s retracement of last week’s choppy advance increases confidence in a bearish outlook. FXTW touched on short setups in other GBP crosses.
