Key Quotes
“The five and 20-day moving averages are set to cross. The momentum had been flagging as sterling approached $1.3055, the 38.2% retracement of the sell-off that began with the referendum vote last June (according to Bloomberg, though other sources may have a lower level on the flash crash). The slowing of the economy and the tightening of the election polls took a toll. The next target is $1.2725 and then $1.2650. The technical indicators concur that the downside is the path of least resistance, with a bearish divergence in the RSI and MACDs.”
