GBP/RUB Retests the 200dma, UK-Russia Ties at Historic Lows

RUSSIA
  • GBP/RUB is retesting the 200dma breakout at 102.1694, but stalled out a fraction lower around 101.8732 resistance after bouncing off round number support at 100.00 to for a large bullish engulfing candle with yesterday's price action.
  • 50dma & 100dma on the brink of confirming a bearish crossover and oscillator momentum still in negative territory at 38.90.
  • Failure to hold above the 200dma will likely result in a retest of the 100 handle, with next major support seen at 97.7901
  • Both the UK & Russia have expressed openness to meet to hold a dialogue on normalizing ties, but no concrete meeting date has been set.
  • The UK's rhetoric towards Russia at the NATO Summit was undeniably hawkish with relations at an historic low point.
