GBP/USD: 1.3000 seems out of reach for now – UOB Group
There has been no further increase in momentum; a breach of 1.3125 would suggest that 1.3000 is out of reach, UOB Group’s FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.
GBP can break above of 1.3125
24-HOUR VIEW: “Yesterday, we expected GBP to trade in a sideways range of 1.3035/1.3085. GBP subsequently dipped to 1.3038, rebounded to 1.3103 before closing slightly higher at 1.3074 (+0.10%). There has been no increase in either downward or upward momentum, and we continue to expect GBP to trade sideways. Expected range for today: 1.3040/1.3105.”
1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “We have held a negative GBP view for two weeks now. After GBP fell to 1.3011 and rebounded, we highlighted last Friday (11 Oct, spot at 1.3060) that ‘despite the decline, there has been no further increase in downward momentum’. We added, only a breach of 1.3125 (‘strong resistance’ level) would suggest that 1.3000 is out of reach this time around. GPB traded sideways over the past few days, and we continue to hold the same view for now.”
