The Pound, on the daily chart, had a spike above the main daily simple moving averages (DSMAs) while hitting levels not seen since mid-May 2019. The Brexit headlines are the main catalysts behind the GBP/USD rollercoaster. The UK Parliament rejected the PM Boris Johnson’s fast-track process for approving the Brexit deal. Elections can be next along with an extension of the Article 50.
