GBPUSD: Sidelines Favored as Rally Persists

By Ilya Spivak, Currency Strategist

GBPUSD has taken out resistance at the top of a rising channel established from the lows in May as well as the horizontal barrier at 1.5797. Gains look overdone but no clear sell signal is apparent. Furthermore, as I wrote in the weekly British Pound forecast, substantial volatility looks likely heading into the BOE interest rate decision. I will remain flat for the time being.
