However, GBP/USD slumped to 1.3639 before making a quick rebound to end the day slightly below 1.3587 (-0.12 The choppy price action has given rise to a mixed outlook and GBP/USD could trade within a relatively wide range of 1.3560/1.3625 by today.”

Next 1-3 weeks: “Last Thursday (Feb 17, GBP/USD at 1.3585), we highlighted that GBP/USD has to close above 1.3645 before a sustained advance is likely. As GBP/USD struggled to break above 1.3645, we highlighted the Monday (Feb 21, GBP/USD at 1.3595) that the probability of GBP/USD moving clearly above 1.3645 has diminished Yesterday (Feb 22), GBP/USD fell below our level of ‘strong support’ at 1.3545 (low 1.3539).Breakage of ‘strong support’ indicates GBP/USD is not ready to head higher on a sustained basis.In other words, GBP/USD is likely to move sideways for now. Expect to be between 1.3500 and 1.3645.”
