|GBP/USD: Overbought conditions could limit any advance to a test of 1.2715 – UOB Group
Strong momentum suggests further Pound Sterling (GBP) strength; overbought conditions could limit any advance to a test of 1.2715. In the longer run, outlook has shifted from negative to positive; any advance is likely a recovery, potentially testing the resistance at 1.2755, UOB Group’s FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note.
24-HOUR VIEW: “Our view for GBP to trade in a range yesterday was incorrect. Instead of trading in a range, GBP surged, closing higher by 0.89% at 1.2679, its biggest 1-day gain since late Aug.
