Key Quotes
“GBP spiked to an overnight high of 1.2860 before easing off quickly. The rally appears to be over-extended and while a retest of 1.2860 is not ruled out, a move beyond the next major resistance at 1.2920 is not expected. Support is at 1.2780 followed by 1.2755”.
“While GBP moved clearly above the expected 1.2640/1.2820 consolidation range (overnight high of 1.2860), we are not convinced that it has moved into a bullish phase. However, the immediate pressure is clearly on the upside but at this stage, a sustained move above the trend-line resistance at 1.2920 seems unlikely. Overall, while the outlook is still deemed as neutral, GBP is expected to stay underpinned in the coming days with solid support at 1.2720”.
