Key quotes
“GBP/USD on Friday tested and has held below 1.4238/45, the recent high and the March 2018 high, and we would allow for some near-term consolidation. We note the divergence of the daily RSI. Nearby support is 1.4100 ahead of 1.4000/18 and the uptrends at 1.3821 and 1.3883.”
“We note the strong buy signal on the daily DMI and eventually look for gains through 1.4245 to 1.4377 the 2018 high.”
“A slip below the uptrend at 1.3821 (not favoured) would target 1.3483, the September 2018 high and the 200-day ma at 1.3494.”
