In result of release of data on the UK Manufacturing PMI, the Pound gained a short upside moment that helped it to leave a short-term descending channel to the top. However, a subsequent publication of information on the US labour market neutralized the surge and forced the pair to move horizontally. As a result, today it is squeezed between two barriers. The upper side protected by a the monthly PP at 1.2991 and the upper boundary of a dominant ascending channel, while the southern side is secured by a combination of the updated weekly PP 1.2934 and the 55- and 100-hour SMAs. Both of them represent too strong obstacles to be easily crossed. So, today the pair is expected to continue to fluctuate between them.
