ECB also increased rates by 0.5% as it was widely expected, although the pair spiked higher registering new multi months higher level. This was the result of an unexpected hawkish comment during the speech of ECB’s president Christine Lagarde highlighting that the central bank will continues with another two rate hikes of 0.5% in the next meetings and not only.

英镑/美元的基本面和技术面
Pair closed last week’s trading session lower as traders and investors took some profits off the table due to BOE’s dovish stance. The central bank raised rates by 0.5% as it was widely expected. Although the voting of two PMs for keeping the rate unchanged was taken as dovish signal from investors and traders. It looks like the central bank is running out of steam and could stop hiking rates, if, more MPs will join the dovish club. On the other side the FED’s rate hike by 0.5% was also widely expected and priced in and failed to generate any volatility.
As for this week we are expecting investors and traders to continue to trade last week’s central banks’ releases. With the light economic calendar and the Christmas holidays ahead, trading will be calm. The lack of any high impact events will also be another reason for a mooted week ahead.

Technically the pair is positive even though it turned sharp on the downside after tested 100% level. As it was expected and we mentioned that on our last technical release, the pair was traded in an overbought territory and sharp reversal was expected. The pair closed above 61.8% and the technical is still positive. As for this week if pair resumes upside could retest 100% alternative a break below 61.8% could accelerate losses and change the overall picture to neutral. We are expecting buyers to appear at 1.2060 (61.8%) targeting profits around 1.200
