There was only one currency in focus this morning as the country goes to the polls today on one of the tightest general elections we have seen for decades. Ahead of the London forex open, the GBP was being bought but as so often occurs at session crossovers, the trend higher on the GBP/JPY was reversed with the pair moving lower.

Other euro pairs also taking a tumble include the EUR/GBP and EUR/CAD, the former sitting neatly on the VPOC on the 15 min timeframe which sits at the 0.7180 region, and any move through here could see the pair test support at 0.7168.
