Oddly, our report last August admitted something quite dramatic for the pairing. We wrote;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>The immediate problem Sterling now faces is an expectation of a \u201cbottom\u201d on the current cycle at 1.1677.<\/em> &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to wonder if we&#8217;re about to inhale an era of aggressive currency movements, countries trying to make themselves and their products &#8220;cheaper&#8221; to other nations in an effort to restart full trade (and tourism). In conversation today with someone who&#8217;d planned inflict the hell of Disney in Florida on their children, apparently traveling abroad is now off the agenda for at least the next year and she intends enjoy the &#8216;quiet roads and empty beaches&#8217; (her words, not mine) of Cornwall, if allowed to travel during the school holidays.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Presently trading around 1.244, GBPUSD needs slip below Red, presently 1.20, to again cause trouble as we&#8217;re now looking at the prospect of coming reversal to an initial 1.152 with secondary, if (when) broken at 1.088. Normally in such a scenario, we&#8217;d expect a proper bounce at the 1.08 level, if achieved. Instead, we advise caution as a break below this level will tend to indicate a bottom, hopefully, at 1.059.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The other side of the coin examines the potentials, if Sterling somehow manages to strengthen against the US Dollar. In the event the pair moves above 1.277, we&#8217;re looking at recovery to an initial 1.297 with secondary, if bettered, up at 1.337. While there are plenty of visual suggestions hinting at a Glass Ceiling at the 1.337 level, by moving above the longer-term Blue downtrend, Sterling will find itself in a place where travel to 1.479 is allegedly possible.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
