• Upside on Wednesday capped at 0.7947 (Mar 23rd highs), pair holds above the 0.79 handle. 
• 0.79 is also strong channel base support, any weakness can be seen only on breaks below. 
• Daily Techs support upside, pair has broken above 50-DMA at 0.7867 and price action is above the daily cloud. 
• After a significantly weaker than expected UK manufacturing PMI index, the path of growth in Q2 will hinge critically on the services sector which has a nearly 80% share in GDP.  
• UK service sector PMI, which is scheduled for release later today, will provide a much more convincing picture on the near-term outlook. 
• Most major European markets are closed on account of a public holiday.
