GBP/USD: Support may emerge around 1.2200/1.2220 – Scotiabank
The GBP has drifted fractionally lower. Economists at Scotiabank analyze Cable’s outlook.
Near-term risks tilted lower
Sterling peaked just below 1.2290 earlier and, like the EUR, spot losses from the intraday high have been quite significant from a short-term technical point of view.
The 1 and 6-hour charts reflect bearish reversal signals which tilt near-term risks lower.
Cable support may emerge around 1.2200/1.2220, however, where Sterling gains stalled last week. Firmer support may develop nearer 1.2150.
