Mohammed Isah, analyst at FXTechstraegy, comments: “To the topside, the pair must break back above the 1.6740 and the 1.6842 levels to reverse its downside threats and bring gains towards the 1.7041 level where its YTD high is standing with a penetration of there triggering the resumption of its medium term uptrend now on hold towards its .50 Ret (2.1160-1.3501)at 1.7314. On the whole, GBP remains pressured to the downside having collapsed off the 1.6842 level.”
