24-HOUR VIEW: "We indicated last Friday that the outlook for GBP 'is mixed'. We were of the view that it could trade in a choppy manner, likely between 1.2390 and 1.2500.' In NY trade, GBP popped to a high of 1.2490 and then plummeted to 1.2377. There has been a tentative buildup in momentum, but while GBP could weaken today, any decline is not expected to reach the major support at 1.2310 (minor support is at 1.2350). Resistance is at 1.2435; a breach of 1.2465 would indicate that GBP is not weakening further."
