GBPUSD: Sterling headed higher again
|GBPUSD: 1.3593
Sterling headed higher again on Tuesday, reaching 1.3599 closing on its highs, with traders eying a possible early BOE rate hike on the back of rising inflation. The UK Construction PMI is due today.
With the momentum indicators looking positive, a move above 1.1.3600 would open 1.3650, above which there is little to stop it heading on to 1.3780.
1 hour/4 hour indicators: Up.
Daily Indicators: Turning higher
Weekly Indicators: Turning higher?
Preferred Strategy: The short term momentum indicators are mixed but the dailies look constructive so, as with the Euro, buying dips currently seems to be the plan while keeping a tight stop in place.
