Key Quotes

“Sterling has recently failed to break above the 55 week ma at 1.2941, and the 1.30 psychological resistance, and we suspect may have topped here. The recent high was accompanied by a divergence of the daily RSI but the market needs to go back below the April 21 low at 1.2760 to negate upside pressure completely. This would introduce scope to the 200 day ma at 1.2595”.

“A close above 1.30 would introduce scope to the 1.3443 September 2016 high”.
