GBP/USD Technical Analysis: double curveball on Brexit headlines
- EU negotiators indicating that a workable Brexit plan could materialize in "6 to 8 weeks", while Eurosceptic Tories saw their latest plan to present their own Brexit plan fell apart, prompting a second Brexit hope rally in two weeks.
- Sterling traders should watch out for an overextended bull run which could prompt sellers to step back in.
- UK earnings report due today could also be a wrench in the works, while a positive reading could easily see an extension.
