Pound attacks technical resistance

GBP / USD

Brexit Minister David Davis resigned. The market considered this news as positive for the national currency since Davis is a supporter of the "hard" Brexit. Growth was facilitated by the dollar weakening on Friday after the release of US employment data. But the Friday reaction of the market was paradoxical, as the indicators came out good in general. For this reason, we take caution with the upward movements of the pound. However, any movements of the British currency this week should be taken of with caution, as Theresa May presents the latest proposals for Brexit. On Tuesday, the trade balance and industrial production will be published on Wednesday and on Thursday Mark Carney will have his stand.

Technically, the price could overcome the resistance of the balance line (red) and can now work out the resistance of the trend line with the target of 1.3360. In case of overcoming this resistance, the growth to the 1.3485 level is possible - at this level the lines of the blue line and the balance of the weekly scale coincide.

In the 4-hour chart, the price has no barriers for growth.
