AceTraderFx Jan 20: Intra-Day News and Views & data to be released today -GBP/USD
Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
Update Time: 20 Jan 2020 04:30GMT
GBP/USD - 1.3003... The British pound went through a volatile session on Friday. Although cable gained from 1.3065 in Asian morning and then jumped to a 1-week high of 1.3120 (Reuters) in European morning, price erased its losses and dropped to 1.3028 as release of downbeat UK retail sales data increased speculation of an interest rate cut from the Bank of England later this moth. The pair then recovered to 1.3059 but only to fall again to 1.3007 ahead of New York close and then opened lower to 1.2980 (Reuters) in New Zealand before rebounding to 1.3008 at Asian open.
Despite cable's strong rebound from last Tuesday's 18-day low at 1.2955 to 1.3120 on Friday, subsequent selloff to 1.2980 today suggests correction has ended and re-test of said support would be seen after consolidation, where break would extend decline from 1.3283 (December 31) to 1.2905/10. Hence, selling on recovery is favoured.
Offers are tipped at 1.3015 with more above and stops above 1.3060 while bids are noted at 1.2970-65 with stops below 1.2955.
Although there will be no economic data coming out from UK later today, as Brexit deadline approaches on Jan. 31st, traders should pay attention to related headlines that may cause some volatility in the market.
