Post FOMC wash-up

The US$ weakened after FOMC and this triggered a bit of movement across numerous instruments so I have drafted charts with revised trend lines to monitor. Today brings the BoE rate update so take care if trading GBP pairs.

 

NB: I will be away with family on a 2 week holiday from today, Thursday 18th, until Tuesday 30th March. This is holiday that had been postponed due to Covid restrictions. Weekday updates will be brief and few during this period but I will endeavour to publish a full weekend update; on both weekends.
