GBP/USD holds in high 1.27s. Economists at Scotiabank analyze the pair’s technical outlook.
Sterling continues to grind higher. The market’s objective has to be a clear push through 1.2820, the high from August 10 and a 1.2620 double bottom trigger. A break above here targets a measured move rally to 1.3020.
Failure to push on through the low 1.28s in the next few days may see the GBP slip back into more, sideways range trading, however.
