Next 1-3 weeks: “We have held the same view since Monday (20 Jun, spot 1.2225) where the outlook is mixed and GBP could continue to trade in a choppy manner, likely between 1.2040 and 1.2400. Our view was not wrong as GBP traded in a choppy manner the last few days. The price actions offer no fresh clues and the outlook remains mixed. Only a break out of the expected range of 1.2130/1.2380 (narrowed from 1.2040/1.2400) would suggest a directional move is likely.”
