PM Johnson is today set to make a statement, on how the country will move into the next phase of reopening as Covid numbers continue to fall.

Price is trading well above 50,100 & 200 MA but entering overbought conditions on the 4HR which may cap the rally.

As seen on the chart price is now in a 10 week uptrend with the next important resistance at 1.4140, this coincides with the ascending trendline with little in the way of further gains.

Support: 1.4000 – 1.3930
Resistance: 1.4090 – 1.4140
