FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The sterling is printing fresh session highs in the 1.5935 region ahead of the trade balance figures in the UK due later on. Prior surveys expect the deficit to widen to £ -7.7 billion in February from £ -7.5 in the previous month.
Late weakness in the greenback plus no signs of further easing in the near term from the BoE were bolstering the pound as of late, trading in multi-day highs as of writing.

At the moment the cross is advancing 0.08% at 1.5930
Next resistance levels are located at 1.6027 (Upper Bollinger) ahead of 1.6063 (high Apr.2) then 1.6095 (high Nov.14) and 1.6119 (high Nov.9).
A drop beyond 1.5893 (MA21d) would open the door to 1.5828 (MA55d) then 1.5808 (low Apr.10) and 1.5801 (low Mar.26).
