Fundamental Overview:

UK government withdraws plan to scrap higher tax rate, boosting the British pound across the board.

UK Finance Minister Kwasi Kwarteng confirmed that his government will not go ahead with a plan to scrap a 45% rate of income tax.

An upward revision of the UK Q2 GDP print adds some support to the pound. However, bleak economic outlook keeps upside in check.

- Momentum is bullish, Stochs and RSI are sharply higher, volatility is high

- MACD line confirms bullish crossover on signal line, Chikou span is biased higher

Major Support and Resistance Levels:

Support - 1.0980 (21-EMA), Resistance - 1.1243 (55-EMA)

Summary: GBP/CHF spikes higher for the third straight session. Break above 21-EMA opens further upside in the pair.
