The pound may show more

The pound was more agile than the euro in the morning. The good mix of two factors – strong UK data and dovish Yellen stance – is the best environment for the pair to rise. The absence of large part of traders due to Easter holidays may be a temporary barrier on the way to new multi-year highs. As soon as most market participants realize that chances the BOE will outrun the FED with the timing of rate increase, are growing, we may see the impressive move of the pound higher above 1.70 area. As for today, the initial support comes at 1.6772, and the resistance limits the upside at 1.6830.
