Current price movements are likely part of a broad range

24-HOUR VIEW: "Following Tuesday’s price action, we noted yesterday, Wednesday, that 'there has been a slight increase in downward momentum.' However, we were of the view that 'this is likely to lead to a lower range of 1.3485/1.3560 rather than a sustained decline.' The subsequent price movements did not turn out as we expected. GBP traded in a relatively narrow range of 1.3514/1.3567 before closing largely unchanged at 1.3530 (+0.03%). Flat momentum indicators suggest GBP is likely to range-trade today, expected to be between 1.3500 and 1.3570."

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "Our update from Monday (08 Sep, spot at 1.3480) still stands. As highlighted, 'the current price movements are likely part of a broad range between 1.3430 and 1.3595'."
