• +0.05% at the base of a 1,2203-1.2250 range after an early USD-led spike
• USD spiked on a report Trump advisors are mulling gradual tariff hikes
• UK firms cut headcount late last year in response to tax hike, BCC survey
• Survey joins a slew of similar responses to the Fin Min Reeves budget
• Charts - mixed daily momentum studies, 21-day Bollinger bands expand
• 5, 10 & 21-DMAs slide - weeklies remain bearish - a strong negative setup
• Targets a test of the 1.2038 Oct 2023 low, then the 1.1805 2023 low in March
• Friday's 1.2322 high then the 1.2464 well-tested 21 DMA are first resistance
• A close above the 1.2465 21-DMA would be a positive signal
