UOB’s Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann report that GBP/USD suffered a pointy slide to the low 1.33s after briefly buying and selling above 1.3480. Intraday, they see scope for a take a look at of 1.3300, although a sustained break under is uncertain. Over 1–3 weeks, a transparent transfer below 1.3300 would open draw back towards 1.3240, whereas resistance is seen close to 1.3390/1.3410.
Sterling pressured towards key ground
“24-HOUR VIEW: When GBP was at 1.3425 final Friday, we highlighted that “whereas GBP might take a look at 1.3405, provided that there is no such thing as a clear improve in downward momentum, any additional decline is unlikely to interrupt under 1.3390.” We famous that “resistance ranges are at 1.3440 and 1.3455.” Nevertheless, GBP rose to 1.3483 first earlier than plunging to 1.3332. Whereas the sharp decline seems extreme, there may be scope for GBP to check 1.3300 earlier than stabilisation may be anticipated. A break under this degree is just not dominated out, however deeply oversold situations recommend GBP won’t be capable of preserve a foothold under this degree. On the upside, resistance ranges are at 1.3360 and 1.3390.”
“1-3 WEEKS VIEW: Final Tuesday (02 Jun, spot at 1.3460), we highlighted that “the present value actions are doubtless a part of a range-trading section between 1.3390 and 1.3510.” After GBP dropped to a low of 1.3412, in our most up-to-date narrative from final Thursday (04 Jun, spot at 1.3430), we indicated that “so long as GBP holds under 1.3470 (‘robust resistance’ degree), the danger of GBP breaking under 1.3390 will improve over the subsequent few days.” On Friday, GBP rose above 1.3470, printing a excessive of 1.3483. Whereas our ‘robust resistance’ degree did not cap the advance, the next plunge nicely under 1.3390 (low was 1.3332) highlights the prevailing GBP weak spot. That mentioned, GBP should break clearly under 1.3300 earlier than additional declines towards 1.3240 may be anticipated. To maintain the downward momentum, GBP should maintain under 1.3410.”
