GBP Mid-day Analysis

The Pound continues to extend a month long consolidation pattern but it has also clawed its way close to an upside breakout point on its charts. Even more surprising is the Pound has generally remained in favor this morning despite a discouraging UK October construction output result. We also note a significant increase in volume and open interest on the gains in the Pound this week and that suggests the technical setup is confirming increased interest in the long side of the Pound.
