24 hour view: “Yesterday we highlighted that “GBP/USD was unlikely to advance further” and we expected GBP/USD to “trade between 1.2160 and 1.2260″. Subsequently, GBP/USD traded within a narrower range than expected (1.2185/ 1.2250) before closing largely unchanged at 1.2215 (-0.02%).The current move appears to be part of a consolidation phase and GBP/USD is likely to trade sideways today.That being said, the underlying tone slightly softer suggests a lower range of 1.2160/1.2240”.
Next 1-3 weeks: “Yesterday (Aug 11, GBP/USD at 1.2215), we highlighted that although the risk to GBP/USD has shifted to the upside, it has to break major resistance at 1.2300 before further sustained advance is likely. Our opinion has not changed. Upside risk is intact as long as GBP/USD does not move below 1.2125 (no change in “strong support” level).”
