Mapping the Market: British pound coils for potential breakout

July 27 - The British pound has experienced short-term swings this year over everything from the Iran war to domestic politics and inflation, but overall it has not departed from the well-defined range held against the dollar for the past 15 months. Technical analysis suggests that ‌period of calm could soon give way to a sharp move.

The pound has been boxed in between 1.3011 and 1.3867 versus the dollar, even as volatility has picked up elsewhere in markets. Beneath the surface, however, a widely used measure of volatility — 20-month Bollinger Bands — points to building pressure.
