The Pound Sterling (GBP) is expected to trade in a 1.3340/1.3420 range. In the longer run, GBP must break and hold above 1.3455 to resume strength, UOB Group FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note.

GBP must break and hold above 1.3455 to resume strength

24-HOUR VIEW: “We expected GBP to edge higher last Friday, but we held the view that ‘any advance is unlikely to break above 1.3455.’ GBP subsequently rose, but less than expected, reaching a high of 1.3428. GBP closed lower by 0.32% at 1.3372. Momentum indicators are turning flat, and the current price movements are likely part of a range trading phase. Expected range for today: 1.3340/1.3420.”
