There was some minor Euro news and GDP.

GBP broke out short at 18:00 didnt get the trade stop was 14 pips to far if took short got stopped with -33 pips and then it straight up fell 70 pips from there.

GBP also broke its down trend and closed above and looked like it was coming back down to test the trendline for the final buy, but it went 15 pips under that still holding above though
