1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “Last Thursday, GBP plummeted to a low of 1.2845. In our update from Friday (01 Nov, spot at 1.2900), we indicated that ‘While there has been a buildup in momentum, GBP must break and remain below 1.2845 before further sustained decline can be expected.’ We added, ‘The likelihood of GBP breaking clearly below 1.2845 will remain intact, provided that 1.2985 is not breached.’ Yesterday, GBP broke above 1.2985, reaching a high of 1.2999. Downward momentum has faded, and for the time being, GBP is expected to trade in a 1.2900/1.3030 range.”
