Key Quotes
“GBP/USD is at last seeing some signs of life and near term is expected to consolidate circa at 1.5171/63 – this consists of the June and September lows, we have seen a minor breach of this level, but currently the indications are that the market will hold in this vicinity for a small rebound ahead of further declines”.
“The market does not appear to be ready quite yet to sustain a move below 1.5086/1.5000, the 61.8% retracement. Failure here will target 1.4895, the 78.6% retracement”.
