Although the US economy showed convincing signs of growth, the Pound continued to rapidly appreciate against the Dollar yesterday.  

The fact that the cable managed to return to mid-October level near 1.3295 indicates how actively traders are anticipating interest rate hike by the Bank of England, which even overshadows today's FOMC meeting. 

From technical point of view, there is a need to notice that both on hourly and daily timeframes the pair is free to surge up until the weekly R2 located at the 1.3370 level (after passing through the above resistance). 

The southern side, in contrast, accumulated a combination of other technical barriers, such as the weekly R1, the monthly PP and three moving averages. Until release of the American data, the pair is expected to move horizontally near 1.3270. Afterwards, in case of plunge it is likely to be stopped by the 200-hour SMA fluctuating near 1.3180.
