Cable is trading near resistance and with British Prime Minister stating that “the withdrawal agreement is virtually agreed” and ruled out a second vote. This has inspired some confidence after reports last week that 80 Tory MPS rejected her ‘Chequers’ proposal. Cable rallied for the first half of the week and with a lot of economic data coming out today this could either send Cable lower or breaking through major resistance levels.
On the 1 HR time-frame, we have a flag formation and I am sure with good news we will break through resistance. Bad data will send lower to the 130 region.
