GBP/USD to enjoy a sharp squeeze higher on a break above 1.2270 – Scotiabank
|GBP/USD is capped at key 1.2270 resistance. A break above here could clear the path for substantial gains, economists at Scotiabank report.
GBP/USD on the cusp of a potentially bullish technical break out
“Key resistance at 1.2270 stands in the way of the GBP and a possibly sharp (+4%) squeeze higher, as improbable as this might sound.”
“Cable has developed an inverse head and shoulders reversal through Jun/Jul but the neckline trigger at 70 held yesterday’s test. Progress here is, however, time sensitive and a break higher should happen sooner, rather than later, if it is to happen at all – otherwise 1.2270 becomes a wall, rather than a springboard.”
