GBP/MXN has formed a bullish Pennant continuation pattern during its uptrend within a rising channel.

The pattern indicates that a breakout higher would probably lead to substantial further gains, probably all the way up to the upper channel line of the ascending channel.

GBP/MXN Daily Chart

The Pennant probably began at the August 16 low, with the long line of up days during the second half of August comprising the pattern’s “pole” with the actual triangular “pennant” currently unfolding.

A break above the top of the pattern at 26.25 would confirm a continuation higher to a conservative target at the 0.618 ratio of the length of the pole extrapolated higher. This suggests an upside target at 27.11.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) momentum indicator is below the overbought level, suggesting the pair has more upside potential before it becomes overbought again.

Pi Network rally defies market pressure ahead of its first anniversary

Pi Network is trading above $0.1900 at press time on Wednesday, extending the weekly gains by nearly 8% so far. The steady recovery is supported by a short-term pause in mainnet migration, which reduces pressure on the PI token supply for Centralized Exchanges. The technical outlook focuses on the $0.1919 resistance as bullish momentum increases.

Mixed UK inflation data no gamechanger for the Bank of England

Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.
