Despite the rebound in UK consumer confidence in February and the GfK’s consumer confidence indicator jumping seven points to -38 (a 10-month high), the Pound Sterling relinquished its previous gain to close the week above a strong demand zone at the $1.19000 zone. Supported by strong economic data, the demand for the Greenback has virtually increased in the last couple of weeks to send a bullish statement going into the new week. Will the Pound find support this week or will the continued selling pressure breach the $1.19 level to incite a sell-off? We shall rely on key economic data this week for liquidity and insights on potential trading opportunities. This video illustrates from a technical perspective what we are looking out for in the coming week(s).
