ICT watches the USDX pretty obsessively, even if he doesn't trade it.
Though for the GBPUSD, I'd take the guess that after the NFP dead-cat bouncing, he went searching for the market move being setup. As he posted on Twitter, the USDX & GBP Futures were diverging the entire week leading up to NFP, then really nothing at NFP. It meant the move was being engineered.
Though there is definitely a fine art to it. I trade USDJPY and, but for 1 week, I've been good at knowing where it's going far too well. I just suck terribly at getting into the trades properly. So there's most definitely an "art" part of it. I wish I could give advice on the topic, but I'm simply not far enough in to assure of much of anything.
