GBP/USD weekly chart, September 18, 2017

The British pound exploded to the upside during the week, as the Bank of England suggested that perhaps rate hikes were coming relatively soon. From a technical point of view, we have filled the gap that formed in the middle of 2016, so now we are going to face a significant amount of resistance in the form 1.3650. Although we could pull back, certainly the momentum is to the upside, so I’m not willing to sell even as I suspect there will be a lot of resistance. A break above the 1.3650 level would be extraordinarily bullish.
