GBP/USD to test 1.70 handle?

FXStreet (Guatemala) - Currently, GBP/USD is trading at 1.6789, up 0.01% on the day, having posted a daily high at 1.6794 and low at 1.6791.

The surge in 3-month employment gains in February quickly saw the market re-price expectations for a less dovish BoE and GBP/USD test its 2014 highs last week. Strategists at RBS note suggested that the Fed's dovish message is becoming begrudgingly accepted while the BoE's dovish outlook is more under challenge – “That divergence may put the bias toward a test of 1.70, though we think the air is increasingly thinning for GBP, particularly above 1.70. March retail sales this week is the key data release”.

Daily RSI sits at 63.89, in neutral territory

Session Recap: EUR/USD extends somehow its decline below 1.3800

Despite Monday was a quiet session, the EUR/USD performed a somehow volatile day as the pair traded as high as 1.3830 in the European session and 1.3785 in the American morning. Yes, not a too big movement at all, but it was decent if you look into the chart.
