Sterling spent the London morning building a case for a break and the rest of the session dismantling it, trading near 1.3495 after a high just short of 1.3550 and a loss of not quite a tenth of a percent. The mid-July peak sits a handful of pips above where today’s advance stopped, which makes this the second time in four weeks that one level has turned the Pound around.What sits underneath the day is better than the day itself. The 50-day and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) are converged just above 1.3400 and have crossed back with the faster…
