From last night FOMC, the US economy is still on the stage of recovery and not quite what Ms Yellen said earlier that rates is going raise soon (an indication of a better to do economy). On the other hand UK manufacturing products on Tuesday surprises all with a large positive gain - a return from negative zone. The 2 combination pushes GU up to a high that has not seen for the last 3 years.

What's next? Obvious resistance at 1.6800 - 1.6850. Will there be some consolidation?

In a likely case, there will be some consolidation around the resistance line, with the daily CCI pointing a an over bought position. Support is at 1.678 - 1.674, a half way mark between the Fib retracement line. So it is always good to find a buy around support and sell at resistance.

New today will come from UK 1900hrs SGT official bank rates. Then at 2030hrs SGT US unemployment claims.

If a break occurs above 1.6850 and is able to hold, it is good to abandon sell position and take buy towards the next resistance at 1.6950, the 50% mark between the Fib retracement line. Next level of support is at 1.6680, so again abandon buy when 1.674 line is breach.
