Friday’s trading session was significant for two reasons. On the one hand, the cable managed to break through the lower trend-line of the senior ascending channel. On the other hand, it failed to slip below the 1.3090 mark, which correlates with location of the bottom boundary of an alleged larger, dominant ascending channel.
Such outcome allows assuming that this pattern will be strong enough to block another attempt of the pair to fall below the 1.3100 mark, following the general strengthening of the Dollar. At the same time, rapid recovery of the Pounds seems unlikely as well due to presence of a combined resistance set up by the weekly PP, the 55-, 100- and 200-hour SMAs.
