FXStreet (Mumbai) – The drop in the GBP/USD pair stalled at the hourly 100-MA located at 1.5055 levels and now trades above its hourly 200-MA located at 1.5065 levels.
Back above key Fib
The pair is back above the confluence of the hourly 200-MA and 38.2% of 1.5336-1.4895 located at 1.5065-1.5063. The broad based USD rally pushed the pair to 1.5055 levels, where it may have found support on account of the drop in the EUR/GBP cross.
Sterling traders await BOE Carney’s speech for more clarity regarding the timing of the liftoff. The pair currently trades at 1.5075; above its 5-DMA and 10-DMA at 1.5065 and 1.5074.
