GBPUSD: Having reached a brief high of 1.3430
|GBPUSD: 1.3336
Having reached a brief high of 1.3430 in early Europe, Sterling has moved steadily lower through the rest of the session, to a low of 1.3330, as those holding long positions lighten up ahead of the EU Summit, BOE MPC meeting and a slew of UK econ data, beginning today with the CPI, PPI, RPI.
1 hour/4 hour indicators: Turning lower
Daily Indicators: Turning lower
Cable fell to a 1-wk low at 1.3358 amid Brexit uncertainty, ending NY 1.3375
Weekly Indicators: Turning higher?
Preferred Strategy: It looks set to remain choppy in the medium for Sterling, with Brexit headlines likely to guide the direction although today will see the important UK CPI (exp 0.2% mm, 3.1% yy) ,ahead of the FOMC Meeting (Wed) and the BOE Meeting (Thur).
I would remain neutral for the time being and possibly look to play a range of 1.3250/1.3430 although the momentum indicators suggest that the bias will remain to the downside.
