GBP: Cable Pops to Fresh Session Highs, Back Above 1.3350
May-06 11:27
Sterling outperformance standing out at the NY crossover, with GBPUSD rising above Monday’s highs and extending to a high print of 1.3370 in recent trade. Note that moving average studies remain in a bull-mode position, and the 100 pip bounce from yesterday’s lows continues to signal a dominant underlying uptrend.
A resumption of gains places the focus back on the cycle highs located at 1.3444, before 1.3510, a Fibonacci projection.
The more optimistic tone for sterling also helps EURGBP through the aforementioned support around 0.8480. It is worth noting that the 50-day EMA also comes in at 0.8467, where a break would strengthen a bearish theme for the cross.
