Due to positive numbers that were revealed during a release on the UK Manufacturing Production, the Pound caught an upside momentum that helped it to reach the monthly R1 at 1.1320. However, this barrier appeared to be strong enough to prevent the further surge.  

Given that the southern direction is secured by the 55-hour SMA and the updated weekly PP at 1.3110 as well as the approaching 100- and 200-hour SMAs, an extensive drop is not expected to follow. 

In contrast, these indicators will motivate the pair to try break to the top. Except for the above monthly R1 the next closest resistance barrier is located only at 1.3310. 

Yet, these projections can be altered, as the Sterling is expected to be quite heavily affected by a number of data releases this week.
