  • Upside on Wednesday capped at 0.7947 (Mar 23rd highs), pair holds above the 0.79 handle.
     
  • 0.79 is also strong channel base support, any weakness can be seen only on breaks below.
     
  • Daily Techs support upside, pair has broken above 50-DMA at 0.7867 and price action is above the daily cloud.
     
  • After a significantly weaker than expected UK manufacturing PMI index, the path of growth in Q2 will hinge critically on the services sector which has a nearly 80% share in GDP. 
     
  • UK service sector PMI, which is scheduled for release later today, will provide a much more convincing picture on the near-term outlook.
     
  • Most major European markets are closed on account of a public holiday.
