Sterling witnessed a sharp change in mood Wednesday, unable to maintain a presence above 1.25 on the H4 timeframe. Undermined on the back of a resurgent dollar, GBP/USD established firm position sub 1.25 and, going forward, suggests 1.24 and April’s opening level at 1.2395 may make a show.

Europe’s single currency extended upside Tuesday amid healthy Eurozone PMIs and additional dollar softening under 97.00 (DXY).
