Cable regained traction and eventually broke above 1.3200 barrier, hitting new nine-week high in European session on Tuesday.
Risk-sensitive sterling remains inflated by vaccine news that boosted global risk mode and so far offsetting negative impact from weak UK jobs data and fears of sub-zero interest rates, but traders keep an eye on EU/UK trade talks, one of pound’s key drivers.
Fresh rally also neutralizes downside risk following double daily Doji (Fri/Mon) and possible formation of bull-trap, with today’s close above 1.3200 (now reverted to strong support) to confirm bullish stance and signal continuation.
Bulls eye next targets at 1.3300 zone (Fibo 76.4% retracement of 1.3482/1.2675/Fibo 138.2% projection of the upleg from 1.2855, 2 Nov trough).
Daily studies diverge from positive sentiment (bullish momentum is fading and stochastic in deep overbought territory) and warn that bulls may run out of steam in coming sessions.
