"The UK will release its CPI and PPI figures early Tuesday, generally expected to have improved in March, compared to the previous month. An uptick in inflation indeed can help the pair to recover further, as Pound's latest decline, blamed on Brexit fears, seems to be overstretched, considering the dollar's underlying negative tone.

The pair retreated partially from the mentioned high, overbought in the short-term after adding around 180 pips daily basis. The technical picture however, keeps favoring the upside, as in the 1 hour chart, the technical indicators are resuming their advances well into positive territory and after correcting extreme readings.
